Er gingen ook dingen weg die ik eigenlijk wilde houden. Maar het was gewoon te veel.\u201d&nbsp;Wat wel mocht blijven, zijn&nbsp;zijn&nbsp;lp\u2019s. Meer dan 2.000 stuks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Er is al een paar keer eerder door verschillende mensen geprobeerd Richard zijn huis netjes te maken, maar elke keer begon hij weer met verzamelen.&nbsp;Maar nu ziet hij de voordelen&nbsp;van een opgeruimd huis. \u201cIk kan weer gewoon douchen en naar de wc,\u201d zegt hij met een glimlach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"ms_advanced-title text-left\" id=\"block_40c68a1e2d7ead62b266ffdc3da031ab\" style=\"--title-sideline-color: #033A7C;\">\n            <style>@media screen and (max-width: 39.9375em){#block_40c68a1e2d7ead62b266ffdc3da031ab{margin-top:1rem;margin-bottom:0.25rem;}}@media screen and (min-width: 40em) and (max-width: 63.9375em){#block_40c68a1e2d7ead62b266ffdc3da031ab{margin-top:2rem;margin-bottom:0.5rem;}}@media screen and (min-width: 64em){#block_40c68a1e2d7ead62b266ffdc3da031ab{margin-top:2rem;margin-bottom:0.5rem;}}<\/style>\n    \n            \n                    <h2 style=\"\" class=\"title h3\">\n                Hoe het nu gaat\n\n                <\/h2>\n        \n        \n            \n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAlles is schoon.
