For about two years now, we have had a basement full of my brother's stuff. A few years ago he was stationed in Missouri, but was being restationed in Washington state. Instead of bringing all his stuff with them, they asked if they could store it in our basement. Our basement is huge; tons of space. I told him 'no problem!' When it was time for the move, they drove all the way here with their trailer full to the brim with stuff that they weren't going to need for the next couple years. We packed in the extra rooms of the basement with all the stuff and shut the door and forgot about it. Seriously, with the big basement we haven't even noticed all his stuff!
Now that he's retired and found a new house, it's time to get all his stuff back and bring it into their new home! The whole family showed up to help! The boxes and everything were a lot easier to bring downstairs than it was to bring it back up! Still, we had so much help that it only took about an hour and a half to totally clear out his stuff. We did a good job using our Tetris skills to pack it all back into the big trailer- and now he's off to the Upper Peninsula to bring it into their new place. Poor guy, he's got to unload that all himself!
