Spring clean (box store in Garage)

Belfastbelle

I am doing some serious reorganising at home. I've sourced archive boxes and they're going into Ikea shelving along Garage wall

Cardboard boxes with lids are £25 for 10- is that too much?
Local company.

Any hints/ tips for doing this job right??

(I'll put this over on the main board when I get some local pointers):T

if you are talking about archive boxes try www.viking-direct.co.uk or www.euroffice.co.uk

Thank you I'll have a look at those
I've tried
cardboardboxesni.com

boxes to store papers and boxes for other "categories"!
Clothing, tools/ nails/ fitting brackets, batteries/lightbulbs/ fuses

list is endless.....

Have NEVER been organised;)

or could go to £stretcher and get plastic boxes quite cheap

Do what i did, go to your local sweetie shop & ask them to keep you their empty plastic sweet boxes (the ones that all the 1p & 2p sweets & mixes come in) they're about 10" square & 2" high................. Great for screws, nails, odds & sods. I made a rack with about 20 in it.......;)

Good idea with the sweetie jars! I saw a friend had the lids nailed onto the underside of a shelf- just screwed the jar open when he needed something!
Totally forgot about that!

I'll give that a go,

any recommendations for GOOD spacesaver vacumn bags
( for old duvets and sleeping bags?)

oh- and shoes- nightmare!:eek:
