How to empty a mezzanine or closet and make money on it: tips
Even in the deepest mezzanines or the largest pantry, space sometimes ends. And of course, this happens exactly at the moment when you urgently need to hide a winter down jacket or a broken bike (don’t throw it away, it’s almost new!).
Clearing the mezzanine (closet, closet, etc.) is a lot of work that you don’t want to do to the last. And if you imagine that you can make money on most things? Together with the experts of the Yula free classifieds service, we will show you how to clear any blockages in the house in a few simple steps and sell everything that turns out to be unnecessary.
Step 1. Tune in psychologically
Yes, nothing funny, before any large-scale work you need to tune in to it! Be prepared to find things you have a lot to do with and experience strong emotions. Or things that you forgot about and now just want to throw it away as quickly as possible. It is better to take someone to help you, so as not to be distracted.
Step 2. Make an inventory by eye
Just open the doors and see what’s in there. Write down the largest objects, the number of boxes and packages – this will help to calculate the time and understand the scope of the work.
Step 3. Sort things according to the four-box method
This is a simple and effective way to deal with any number of things: put them in four boxes: “leave”, “discard”, “sell”, “storage”. In the “leave” box there will be things that you will take from the mezzanine and place somewhere in the apartment. In the box “storage” – what should remain where it was stored. Everything is clear with boxes “for disposal” and “for sale”.
Step 4. Plan the cleared space
Measure the empty space and identify areas for storing different types of things: seasonal ones go deeper, and those that you use regularly – closer to the doors.
Step 5. Arrange the sorted items
And remember: you only need to keep your clothes clean, so as not to breed infections or moths, and best of all, not in plastic, but in cloth bags. Yes, and do not forget to sign all the boxes – it will be easier to navigate this way.
