80 boxes is a lot! I know baking soda helps keep things fresh, or fresh smelling, but I think the job could be done with only 10 or so boxes! :)

After my dad passed I took possession of his house until we could sell it, he was a bit of a pack rat, most of it was kept in the garage.

The phrase "everything but the kitchen sink" took on new meaning. On finding the second sink I - only half jokingly - said to my mother, "If the man wasn't already dead I think would kill him for this!"
