Keeping Your Basement or Garage Clutter-Free
The goal is to keep things accessible while maximizing free space.
My opinon of the easiest solution: Sort through your things! Something you haven't used in the past 12 months is probably something you don't need to keep. Give it to a charity or a friend or family member. Worst case scenario--throw it out!
Lastly, you will need to purchase easy-to-install, inexpensive shelving. Metal is better than wood, which can warp when it gets wet. Put boxes or loose items on shelves and you won't have to move a mountain of stuff to extricate one small thing. Store heavier items on lower shelves. Most home improvement stores will have a good selection of shelving to suit your needs.
Investing one day in organizing your "junk storage" spaces will pay off many times over in peace of mind.
Until next post....
