I might mention that we have a lot of stuff in the house. All of the kids toys - accumulated from 7 kids, things -paper and otherwise - from parents, grandparents, aunts etc. My wife once ran a cake and candy making and sales business and when she quit all of the cake pans, candy molds, supplies were moved home (I have a big commercial convection oven in the basement, a big mixed - the tub is two feet high, etc.)
All of the family pictures from my mother-in-law (which my wife's sister wants but I will burn them first.) A sewing machine that has traveled the world. And other items from my mother-in-law.
I mentioned that everything was brought back 3 days before Christmas but it took months to open each box. In the process though, a lot of things were thrown away. All toys (well most of them) that were not complete ie: missing parts were disposed of, etc.
I had 5 cedar chests. Now down to 2 with one going as soon as my son and daughter-in-law get a bigger apartment or a house.
