I raelized this weekend I have to figure out a way to make a 4 bedroom house fit into a 1 bedroom apartment.

Ugh. I hate packing and moving and unpacking. So annoying.

get yourself psyched into brutal de-cluttering mode (I have no idea how to do this - maybe if you have a good friend that's good at letting stuff go?) - JenBro Apr 16, 09:18 2
- I hate packing/moving/unpacking, but it is GREAT for cleaning out -- nm - ty97 Apr 16, 09:19 1
  - I have to be in the mood for it - and even then - need someone to nudge on stuff -- nm - JenBro Apr 16, 09:29
rough.we've got pretty much the opposite problem - znufrii Apr 16, 09:10 13
- start making babies -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 16, 09:14 3
  - I am not ready for this. -- nm - The World Apr 16, 09:19
  - This is what I was getting at. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 09:17

- I expect it'll be like the Bluth house for a while. - Krusty Apr 16, 09:13 1
  - pretty much :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 09:14
- yeah this is way easier than you think it will be. WAY easier. :) -- nm - sycor Apr 16, 09:11

  - we're actually in the process of going through our boxes of stuff and getting rid of stuff in advance of moving, if you can believe it. -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 09:18
- I was familiar with this problem ... but it turns out it's not as hard as you'd think. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 09:10
- why would you want to? space is beautiful. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:10 2
  - we're pretty much going to leave the top floor alone for now until we figure out how to use the space - znufrii Apr 16, 09:11 1
    - Enjoy having an official Sex Room while you can. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:13
I recommend getting a storage unit. -- nm - Yuuuuuup! si Apr 16, 09:09 10
- I tend to disagree. If it can't fit in the apartment, do you really need it? Opportunity to purge. -- nm - ty97 Apr 16, 09:17
- oh I will be. And then selling stuff off to get rid of it asap. Its still a pain though. -- nm - sycor Apr 16, 09:10 8
  - unless you do something quickly, you usually pay more for the storage than how much the stuff is useful to you. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 09:13 6
    - exactly. Better to actually get rid of it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:15 1
      - donate it and get the tax deduction, if you can itemize... -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 09:16
    - yeah, do the math. is six months of storage costs actually worth it for the value of the objects being stored? -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 09:14 3
      - Yes. I have a lot of collectibles that are worth thousands. So, its worth it. - sycor Apr 16, 09:18 1
        
        it's easy to spend a grand a year on a unit which makes a huge dent in your return -- nm - zork Apr 16, 09:21
      - Yeah, the only way I recommend a storage room is if you just need more time. Set a tiem limit for when you are throwing out what is still in it, like - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:16
  - I honestly think you shoudl consider the organizer. I accomplished more in two hours than I have in years. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:11
I definitely recommend hiring a professional organizer for a few hours. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:06 3
- what exactly do they do? I mean, like pack stuff or just rearrange items more efficiently? I don't understand the concept. -- nm - sycor Apr 16, 09:08 2
  - You get to pretend you're a hoarder for a day. -- nm - TFox Apr 16, 09:21
  - they can help you decide what things to keep/store/get rid of, and also figure out the best use of your space. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:08
