I don’t know how but we seem to have collected a lot of stuff over the years. All of our drawers are full of things we barely use, the kitchen is full of appliances- some that are only used once a year, 7 guitars and all the equipment that goes with it, art supplies, tools, massive amounts of photo albums and then there’s all the saved computer parts and books too.

It’s not like this stuff is cluttering the place. It’s all put away fairly neatly, but we’re never going to use all that stuff. Well not until we finish renovating the whole house anyway. Then the framed paintings and photos will go on the walls, and the appliances in the kitchen will be in areas where they can be seen and used more often etc.

I’ve been thinking about putting all that extra stuff that we aren’t or can’t use right now into storage. We could use this Self Storage company or rent a storage unit. I guess we’ll have to sit down and talk about it, but I think if we start renovating or at least finishing the work that we already started it might be a good idea to move the extra stuff right out of the house and put it into storage. It would make it easier. Plus the company that I just linked to above makes it easy to find local storage companies. I bet we could find a few close to us to use.
