Watching all your great videos…instead of packing, but tomorrow is a new day, plus I need these supplies. Where did you get the colored duct tape? And yikes, more boxes!! And I thought I had enough !

[@SheilaGibbons]

I'm so glad you're here! Yes, tomorrow is a new day, and you've got this! Lowe's usually has some basic colors, but if you need more colors of duct tape and you need them right away, your best bet is a craft store such as Hobby Lobby. They usually have tons of colors and patterns. Or if you've got time, you can also order from Amazon. Here's a link to some of my favorite colors: amzn.to/3N8QCbh Keep me posted on how it goes, and thanks again for watching.

We are moving somewhere temporarily - putting everything in storage (UHaul or Pod) - renovating- selling the house - buying a house and then moving again!!! My hope is that we will be displaced for 2-3 months. I still pretend that I am back East so our Spring/Summer clothes & shoes are in their large, stackable 26" X 16" X 8" plastic bins. What are your thoughts about temporarily packing/storing/moving using plastic bins? Some are too big to fit into Lowes or Home Depot cardboard boxes. Your thoughts would be appreciated!

[@SheilaGibbons]

I think it's totally fine to store clothing in plastic bins. I would just make sure that you're not stacking anything heavy on top of the bins. We had a move similar to the one you are describing where we had to sell a house and move twice, and our solution was to rent a storage unit and put some storage racks inside the unit to hold all of our plastic bins. Or you can just stack the bins on top of one another, but again I would be careful not to put anything heavy on top of the plastic bins. To save space, you can use vacuum seal bags inside the plastic bins so that each bin holds more clothing. Here's a link to some vacuum bags that I like: amzn.to/4gdikAG Or you can also make your own vacuum seal bags by putting your clothing inside a clear or white plastic bag and sucking all of the air out with a vacuum (put the vacuum nozzle touching the clothes, not the bag). Then tie the bag closed and tape the opening of the bag so that air does not get back in. Best of luck on your move - I will be thinking of you!

Awesome~~

[@SheilaGibbons]

Thank you!

[@LynnOwensLMHC]

Where were you during my last move. Could have really used this info back then

[@SheilaGibbons]

Haha maybe next time! ☺️

[@charlenesg5747]

@sheilaGibbons Another great video; thank you!! I heard what you said about the wardrobe boxes but I do wonder if you have ay ideas as to what other ways to pack hanging clothes so they are readily accessile. I hang up 90/95 %of my clothes and from the time I sell my home and get into another one theres a gap and I would like to be able to eaaaasily access my clothing and I cant imagine how when they are all stacked in boxes. Ill have to look for a video on your packing system but this may be another video Idea you asked about. :) As always; thank you!

[@SheilaGibbons]

Ooh yes that is a great point! I'm such a minimalist that I use a capsule wardrobe where I can mix and match everything. So I pack it in a suitcase when I'm moving, and if I'm staying in a temporary place in between houses, I can hang things from my suitcase on hangers at the hotel or the Airbnb. I do have plans to make a video with more details about packing clothing, so I will be sure to cover your question. Thank you!

[@bettymclean8214]

Makes me want to move 🎉😅🙌🏼

[@SheilaGibbons]

Haha! 😆 Well if you do, I've got you covered!

[@bettymclean8214]

@@SheilaGibbons I have no plans on moving (unless you count building a new home 100 yards from my current house) but your system makes it look fun!
