They thought the extra room would make a huge difference, but once they moved in they found the unit a bit claustrophobic and didn’t know how to maximize the space.

Effective storage requires organization

DEAR GAIL: We are desperate for storage space. We moved from back East where we had a basement and just can’t fit everything into our house. Right now we have a lot of things in storage but want to get them out as the extra monthly fee doesn’t make sense. Some of the things like holiday decorations and luggage we can put in the garage, but we have books, games, our winter clothes, collections and just stuff. Besides garage cabinets what can we do? — Nancy.
