Where is all this crap going to go???
Cleaning out my basement so we can remodel. It's all finished space so we lived in it and my home office was there.
I can't believe how much crap I have stuffed in every nook and cranny. Yes, I'm tossing as much as I can but we're moving carload after carload to a friends house as temp storage.
My wife doesn't want any of my junk going back in, bikes, tools, guitars, fishing stuff, luxury leather goods and clothes awaiting the tailor 
There is an epic battle looming.

Jeff .. Pick some things that you really don't care about keeping, but insist that you keep it... and then tell her you will compromise. Allow her to think she got you to ditch some stuff and then she can go on thinking she won the battle. B

I looked at the Pods and they're pretty expensive.
She's already declared my vintage Ampeg Portaflex bass amp is never coming in the house again. A jazz drummer friend has already offered to buy it and keep it for me so I don't have to part with it.
My road bike is not going to be stored outdoors.
Surf rods might be workable somewhere else. She hates them cause when I moved in my office was just shy of 10 feet wide so to keep things clean I just cut a hole in the wall

When she says these things to you does she say 'my house' or 'our house'?

Spence I was so surprised by the amount of crap I had in my basement after the floods.Most of it should not have been there to begin with.

That still doesn't help with all the "stuff" but at least Spence will have a roof over his head!

Dude! Hope it all works out. She's probably thinking since you never use the fishing stuff.... |

I got a extra large dumpster a few years ago , filled it to the brim. Then last year the roofer only filled his dumpster 3/4 stripping my house so he let me finish filling that one to the brim.......I still have too much suff. Another full X-large dumpster load might do it if I treat the old furniture seperately.  |

Aside from my extensive array of culinary tools and my half of the closet pretty much everything else I own has been relegated to the basement. But now as it will be "nice" down there she's attempting to enforce the same standards as the main floor.
It's going to get ugly. Wait till she finds out about the new tv

Rule of thumb, keep it and you'll never need it,
throw it out and you'll need it within the week.
Spence, that is what garages are for. Store your stuff in there and park
your Mercedes CL 65 out in the driveway.  |

No garage and we have a dirt cellar...that's part of the problem.
Lexus is at the top of the road.

Maybe it's time for a new house with more storage, or maybe a storage locker off site

We've certainly contemplated this. Unfortunately our house while small has a great view and optimal location for business travel. Also, I've gotten very used to our small mortgage.
I might be forced to get a small storage locker...but I ain't putting my good bike in it. Will have to investigate what these cost.

It is difficult to believe you entertain her with discussion in this regard. Does the term "grow a set" mean anything to you? Just asking.
