Are you a new homeowner? You might be in the same predicament that I was in. If so, you may need to look in to your self storage community to store your extras. I recently purchased my new home a couple of years ago and when I moved I was not in store for the amount of space that I had sacrificed from the duplex apartment that I previously rented.

When I started to pack, I did not take into account all of the boxes that I had stored in the laundry room area of the duplex. It was located underneath the garage from the renters upstairs, which was a good amount of space. I figured that I would only have and need about 20 boxes at the most. However that was not the case. When I started packing, I needed to visit my self storage community in order to purchase more boxes. Even though I got rid of a lot of the items I had previously stored, I still had to get more boxes in order to get moved efficiently. By the time we moved, I would say that I had a total close to 60 boxes. Not small ones, either. They ranged from medium to extra large boxes. The space that we have at our new place is no where near what we previously had. A local storage facility came in handy storing all of the extra boxes that we didnt need to have at our house and it saved the space for what items we do need.
