I agree...a year?? Are you putting it climate controlled storage? I am contemplating a move as well if I can sell my house this year for a reasonable price to cut down on a 2 hr commute I have each day to work and back. I am worried if my house sells I wont be able to find a replacement that will work and the alternative is to rent for a while which means all goes into storage...I know how much fabric I have because I personally moved it all here 8 yrs ago and the 300+ books as well...so I just hate the thought...
