As we have a lot of stuff, but want to keep it, we hired a unit from Flexistore. They deliver a giant room sized crate to you in a horsebox like trailer. You fill and padlock it and then they take it away and store it for as long as you need. Genius.
Into ours we put: about 20 boxes of books
About 10 boxes of cds and dvds
About 6 boxes of comics
About 5 boxes of models
6 storage units
2 vintage radios
2 pictures
1 xmas tree
We used about 30m of bubblewrap. I have learned in my work you can never have too much packing material. Professionally, I've done this for a 20 room castle and a 50 room stately home. You need a plan, more packing than you dream possible and sometimes up to 5 skips for the unwanted stuff.
Now I am cleaning everything, arranging and 'tarting up'. Lingering toiletries etc will go into decorative boxes and anything else stashes in the wardrobes when not used. It feels very empty now.
