Sigh. My house is full of stuff I don’t really need. I am actually ready to get rid of it. But I don’t know how. A lot of it is too bulky to ship, so I don’t want to sell it on ebay. Craig’s list is an idea but I don’t want to have to take pictures of every single item and write up on them. A few… sure… but I’m talking a load of stuff. I have thought of getting Cheap Moving Boxes. I even went as far to check out the website of saveologymoving.com and see what they had to say about packing stuff away. They had quite a selection of tips on moving. And I was impressed by what they told you about packing to store your stuff in a storage place. I never thought about making sure my boxes were away from the walls so that there would be better air flow. That would be true in my garage as well. Trust me, it is stacked right next to the walls and I can see how I’m going to regret that in the future if I don’t fix it. With Florida heat and humidity… yaaa… I think I see some changes going on in the garage in my future.
Something I had not thought about but will be put away for future use is Portable Moving containers. It talks about how it cost more than a moving truck but less than a moving company. The big pro is that you can pack it slowly over days and make sure everything is secure, marked and mapped out for your unpacking needs. Not that I plan on moving anytime soon. Just couldn’t help but notice it as I was reading through some of the stuff.
Sigh… I think a yard sale would be the best option but my hubby does not like the idea of a bunch of strangers traipsing through our yard. I can’t blame him. Wonder if I can convince a neighbor to have a yard sale and I’ll add my stuff to it so we can have a ‘multi-family’ one. Must think this one through… need to get rid of this stuff and it would be nice if I could get some money for it.
Rent a booth at a local flea market. It’s cheap to rent a booth for the day. Then, drop off the crap you couldn’t sell at the local salvation army on your way home.
