Prepares houses for resale and NFT in Netherlands

Hello,

My name is Merlijn and i'm 21 years old. I have autism and ADHD, That gave me a lot of issues to fit in school and with social interactions. So when i got my required diploma i stopped with school, and i joined my father in his/our family business.

I work as a mover and clearer. Me and my dad prepare homes for resale after someone has deceased. The stuff that is left behind and the families don't want to keep themselves we take it with us.

We sell the reusable stuff that's left in the houses in our store, so it can get a second life. We sort out the waste and dispose it in a responsible way. So most of it can be recycled. Such things as wood, rubble, metals, paper, glass, hard plastic, broken electronics. Things like paint and other chemicals also get sorted out and brought to Circules (a waste processing company).

From these houses we also get things like paintings which are occasionally created by the people themselves and will remain in the house after they are deceased. Some things don't sell in our store unfortunately and are eventually thrown away, which is quite a shame. So I've got the idea to put it online as an NFT so that it can still be appreciated, even though that person isn't there anymore.

I only sell paintings as NFT's that have one physical copy. The physical art won't be resold and i will destroy the original painting so it will be interesting for you to invest in. So it only will be available online.
