Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Bonnie, A & B: I understand they now sell the paint thast is put in truck beds which is bolth weatherproof and Great. Might be a bit pricey I dont know but worth it. I would try to put it on blocks on some type of hill allowing moisture to drain from under it. C: NO DUCT TAPE. Use regular ol clear or colored to match silicone. The bathroom and window kind. This is bolth weather proof and water proof. Go to town with it D: Damp rid cant hurt but where you are you will definatly be changing it often. Just a side thought My parents have a purchase to buy shed that cost maybe 120 a month but it is weather proof doors windows and all. Just an idea. E: NO CARDBOARD. WalMart has very large zip lock bags that will accomidate most of your sruff. I would use plastic binns over boxs anyday. Moisture will eat the boxs fast. F: Tarps would vbe ok although if it were me I would get the plastic wrap from like u-haul and wrap each individual piece. That will bring much better protection for a longer period of time. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 that is good idea, Walmart, and other discount stores I'm sure, have those large plastic storage bags that you put things in, and then suction the air out of them with your vaccum, and that makes them half the size they started out as if they are cloth or fluffy. Saves you lots of room and protects them better. Good idea Chris The damp rid you'll have to remember to keep changing, right? > >> >> > E: NO CARDBOARD.

Good idea Chris I've heard stories about how tightly wrapped items (especially if they're in plastic) tend not to denature as fast as loosely wrapped ones. I myself have a lot of dishes and glassware that was bubble wrapped before I heard this. I've been thinking about having someone re-do them. Good topic. I'd like to hear any experiences in which people were or weren't able to get their stuff back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I just wanted to pass this along. I've been putting things in plastic bins with lids recently. I didn't realize that some of them have air holes underneath the handles and some don't. So turn them upside down if you have to and detach the lids and check carefully. llaci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
