Did The Weather Make You Organize?

Have you been meaning to clean out and organize the basement? Nothing forces you to do this dreaded task then a rainstorm followed by a flooded basement. This weekend I saw many homes with several bags of trash, rolled up carpet, wet boxes and furniture out for trash pick up. The recent rainstorms caused many basements to flood and residents spent the weekend cleaning up water soaked possessions. I hate to see people parting with irreplaceable items like pictures and other family possessions. The carpet can be replaced but not the pictures. Do yourself a favor and store items kept on the floor in heavy duty plastic storage bins. This way the water and moisture cant get to your belongings. Cardboard boxes break, get wet and once wet they mold ruin your stuff.
