I put my house for sale down in Florida back in '07'. Packed up all my hardback books I'd been collecting for my retirement. I retired while the house was up for sale so didn't get the time to read them then as they were in storage. Finally got the house sold in '10' and moved up to Iowa. 8 months later after remodeling the house I'd purchased I decided to use my bookcases for my fabrics down in the basement so the books are still in their plastic totes to this day. Hopefully by the end of the year or early next year I'll have the new shelving installed for the fabrics so I can put the bookcases upstairs in the spare bedroom for the "BOOKS". Will also need to add shelving on the walls to accommodate all the books I've collected over the years.
I finally went thru all the photos and have them in albums or on the PC, no more cardboard boxes for me.
