Between joists, under tables in the basement, closets here, there, everywhere, in the attic....

I'm in there somewhere.  Guilty as charged.

My biggest concern is a visit by my home insurance agent or the local fire marshall!!!!  After all, what we're really dealing with here is.....k-i-n-d-l-i-n-g.

Or, at the very least, it takes us to the brink of qualifying for a reality episode re hoarding!!!???......maybe?  At least for some of us?

BTW...flattening the boxes and storing them in a tub is a great idea, I gave it about 30 seconds of thought once.  But, it's the turkey 'stuffings' I couldn't figure out how to retain......You know, the Styrofoam, cardboard 3D jigsaw puzzles, vacuum formed sheet plastic clamshells, etc., etc. that cradle the product....and give the cardboard box some form.    So, for those who flatten boxes, what do/did you do with the guts? 

What a conundrum!

I flatten the ones with no guts, the others I keep as is.
