I have so many abandoned electronics project in the cupboard mostly about 8 old xboxs , 5 old ps3s, 2 working computer motherboards and cpus, 2 broken into pieces laptops etc.
So far going through a small box on shelf and a slightly larger box I have filled up 2 massive bags of stuff. and I would say I havent even begun to go for the real stuff yet, I still have the drawers under the bed to empty(most of it similar stuff) and 4 wardrobes full of stuff that is mixed between good stuff and spare parts(reckon could empty half of them) and a boiler cupboard piled to the ceiling with stuff (though thats where the actual good stuff is like all my video games and old consoles that do work)
I reckon if I went at a steady pace it would take a day to clear then I could fit all my stuff into 1 room plus the boiler cupboard and maybe 1 or 2 wardrobes at most and leave all the shelves, and stuff under the bed empty.
Whilst I am here my drawers are stuck as in they have gotten to a angle where you cant pull them out and pointing upwards so cant get fingers in, what would be good to get them out?

You need to raise the bed off the floor, then reach under, so you can lift up the drawer from underneath. Best done with help/somebody watching so you don't end up trapped under the bed with the blood supply to your arm having been cut off.
If alone, I'd get a broom, prop up the bed, then shove the broom end under the bed in an attempt to raise the rear of the drawer... without the potential for dying during the attempt.0
