We will be moving to TV in March and wish to know what to look out for. We would rather learn from others experiences rather than finding out the hard way.
If you have any other words of advice for two (soon to be) newbies, I would appreciate it! Thanks all!!!

You can and many do go nuts looking for things to worry about. Storage is at a shortage. Our home is larger than some others and yet is sorely miss my basement.
Your garage is not temperature controlled-air conditioned. Hot-this is Florida. It is hot and humid in the summer. Bugs-this is Florida. Solution to cockroaches, we have several varieties solution they call them palmetto bugs and water bugs a word control of cockroaches. There are bugs EVERYWHERE. New York cocker roaches are far larger and will eat a Florida cocker roach for a snack. Same is true for rats.
I've never run comparative results but, I have tons of tools. Some have value, many are irreplaceable, value is of course in the eye of the beholder. I make sure to rub them with oil before putting them away. Testimonial. I have a limited number of cardboard boxes in my garage. Nothing special, typical cardboard corrugated boxes.
They've been there for roughly 10 years. They are fine. No bugs.
