Are you a hoarder and does the Hazmat team have to come and clean up your mess.

This is sad. What do you guys think of this.

On Wednesday, a court order allowed a slew of Toronto Fire Services personnel clad in white Hazmat suits to enter the premises at 313 Manor Rd. in Mount Pleasant and remove material deemed “combustible.”
The occupant had been living on the porch – in a homemade enclosure – in the two years since the house was boarded off to deal with the hoarding of materials inside. He remained on the property during the cleanup, often expressing his displeasure by shouting and cursing at the crew.

Sadly, yes. Although it's not filth and just stuff I keep dragging into the house. To add insult to injury my boyfriend is also a hoarder.
 
Mental illness is another mental illness- How severe?

in this case is intolerable. For those supporting hoarders...I just wait and see..when these sick people will need major clean-up :rolleyes:
 
not at all.

but my dad is one, so that colored me growing up. thank god my mom is there to limit him... my dad gets the basement, except the laundry room. if food is expired, it gets thrown out, and if it starts encroaching on other areas of the house, stuff gets thrown out.

(or I should say, "thrown out" -- my dad will flip a gasket if he actually sees stuff in the trash, but he's fine if he thinks it's being given away for good use. so my mom will give my sister and I shopping bags full of stuff to take to our respective houses and throw out there)

I'm the complete opposite. in terms of groceries and toiletries, I rarely have more in the house than I'd need for a week or two. and I'm pretty judicious when it comes to donating clothes I don't wear anymore.
 
I have been in many hoarders' homes over the years.

My ex-partner from about 30 years ago has become a hoarder of sorts. Very high end hoarding...but hoarding nonetheless. I was so relieved to be released from being an executor for his estate last year because I dreaded the huge chunk of my life it would take to clean through thousands of books, china, furniture, papers and on and on. I have no desire to be the curator.

His compunction around keeping things, which really manifested itself when his mother died was one of the reasons that I couldn't be with him any more. Even moving from a 1100 sf apartment to a 7500 sf house just didn't work...it only allowed more and more collecting and holding by him and his eventual partner.

When I served as President for the Board of an apartment complex, I had to go into units that were so jammed full of furniture and boxes and piles of stuff that it was impossible to move through them. In one case, we had to get a team in to remove hundreds of items and boxes from a unit in order for a stretcher to be brought in to move a resident who had fallen at the end of her hallway in her bedroom...and had somehow managed to find the only space about 2 feet wide that didn't have something to help catch her. Cleaning up her place was a nightmare.
 
I've only been in a hoarders home once for a booty call in Manhattan, but it wasn't that bad, he mostly collected some small ceramic figurines which I think were fountains all over his living room area. His apartment was small and a strange layout, I had to climb stairs that were metal and outside and then walk over a catwalk to his connected building. I've never been to a house where it was so bad with boxes and junk piled up that it was hard to get around like you see on the show Hoarders. One time in my 20s I had a female friend, I went over her house that she shared with her mother but she didn't want to let me in her room, eventually she did and there were hundreds of pieces of clothing all over the floor of the entire room.
 
A common thread I see in every hoarding case is the comfort hoarders associate with their things, as if their homes are not complete or personal without being piled full of everything they have ever touched.

I don't think it's similar to coziness, but maybe related; the room I lived in years ago in Florida was like a closet. With a space heater and a few of my things with me, I was very comfortable even though I could hardly move.

And another thing, you never or almost never see hoarding that is organized, which done effectively probably could mask hoarding for a while because it saves so much space.

Interesting site on hoarding, especially the clutter rating photos.

My home is never worse than two, but only catalogue quality if guests are coming.

interesting pictures.

by the end of the week, my house might be at a two, or maybe even a 3 if it was an especially busy week... but Saturday or Sunday, I'll walk around the house with my laundry basket and a trash bag (bad habit of taking in the mail, throwing it on the kitchen table after walking in the door, and then just leaving it there).

my bedroom is really small, so I tend to get undressed either in my living room or home office, which leads to random piles of clothes on the couch. but it all goes in the wash and back in the closet before Monday morning.
 
Two seems to be the norm, with a three during especially busy or stressful weeks. I can only see those who are neurotic or have housekeepers, or a lot of parties, keeping their homes like one.

Ever since I convinced my dad to go paperless, his house always looks like a one, and it was still a two beforehand even though he has a housekeeper because of all the paper, newspaper, magazines, and mail clutter.
 
I am a collector and have a lot of different collections...but I am a 1 looking at the pictures. My problem is dust.
 
I am a 1 or 2 judging from the pictures, my mother and her sister would be at around a 5 or 6.
 
Yes, very much so, perchance that you get into my room, be prepare to rummage for my bed! Just kidding! I like to keep things that to me, hold good and exciting memories of certain events.
 
We are .5 on the scale based on the living levels of our farmhouse.....but probably a 2 or 3 once you get into the loft over the garage and the basement..........they are full of 'stuff'. Since having a housecleaner come in once a week....the ordinary everyday clutter has vanished. At work, we have cleaners of course, so the areas that count are always kept clean and tidy....unfortunately though, I am required to keep every record and every piece of paper ad-infinitum and we have one entire floor of our building that I won't even go to because of the clutter.

Out of sight. Out of mind.
