Have explained to my wife that we can not take everything with us. If it has sentinmental value, TAKE A PICTURE OF IT and I will frame it. You will see it more than you do now. Who do you think will win this conversation? Ha Ha

Not when the temprature reaches 115 in attic. Only small hole to suck out hot air!!!! Beleive me, in summer it gets hot up there. I have an exhaust fan up there just to circulate the air at least, but it still stays 100 degrees day in and day out> Of course you could close in, and put air conditioning in????? (That would sure draw condensation and other problems)

Even if you double insulate it still gets that hot? So what is the point of the attic? What can you actually keep up there that doesn't get ruined?

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.

Yes, I thought that ladder was really mickymouse and thought I wouldn't want to use that thing. Well we don't keep much in the attic but sure do in the basement...haha

Guess what you see tons of here at the resale shops and garage sales? China!!!

I agree with some of the previous posters, get rid of as much stuff as possible. You will be too busy to be dusting and do you want to waste time moving the boxes around that are stacked up in the garage?

On the other hand, if you are the type that loves to throw formal dinner parties, then by all means, bring you stuff. Since I've been here, however, I have yet to attend a formal dinner party!

Having just moved here 4 1/2 months ago I would say do not bring anything that you don't absolutely love and regularly use. I too brought lots of "family" china and it is all still packed in the boxes in the garage and I have not once missed it. I never used it up north so am not sure why I thought I would suddenly start using it down here.
