Know what happens whenever I create more storage space?
My wife IMMEDIATELY packs it chock full of MORE s***.
As an example, when I retired out of the Navy, we got a 400 square foot storage unit for our overflow of "stuff", which became a disorganized cr*pfest.
I picked up some 2 x 4's and half inch plywood and framed up some shelves that were 60 inches off the floor and 3 feet deep. Reorganized everything so that it was either neatly stacked on the floor under the shelves or neatly stacked on top of the shelves. You could now see everything at a glance in the unit and a 5 foot ladder made getting anything out easy-peasy.
My wife immediately crammed MORE cr*p into the unit. So I built more shelves. And more cr*p appeared...
The unit is 20' x 20'. I have 82 linear feet of 3 foot deep shelving around all sides (one side is a double stack set of shelves) with 8 feet of such extending out into the middle of the unit, for a total of 256 MORE square feet of surface to organize stuff.
And you can hardly get into the d*mn unit with all the stuff my wife has continued to pack into it.
If this were only limited to the storage unit, I could handle it. However...
