The answer is NOT MUCH!

The same things that you were keeping in your attic up north that you are now wondering if you should bring. I am not meaning YOU shcisamax, I mean everyone...

We keep things like some decorations and costumes that we use infrequently. Halloween stuff and Christmas stuff...(some of it) You can put out of season clothes there in plastic boxes that are fairly well sealed. BUT...there isn't really much that you can put away that you can't use in any week here in this climate.

And Jojo told us about a neighbor of hers that fell to his death from that ladder to the attic. It is really scary to think about...and many attics do not have any headroom at all to walk around.

Sweetie put up a lot of shelves in the garage.
