I totally and completely relate - we just rented a storage unit last weekend (not one of those PODS thingies, though, so I have to drive 3 miles up the road to load ours up) and have begun decluttering so we can get our house on the market by April 1. :P<BR/><BR/>A little tip: we've found liquor stores to be *extremely* accommodating in giving us nice, sturdy boxes for free. The downside is that they're on the smaller side, though the upsides of that are (a) one can't make them overly heavy by cramming them full of books as I in particular am wont to do and (b) they fit nicely on the shelves we put up along the walls of our storage unit and are all roughly the same size and shape so they stack well even without shelves.<BR/><BR/>Good luck - I will be thinking of you as I'm packing up boxes myself!! :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027001537835285847noreply@blogger.com
