One reason I’ve been wanting to move is that our condo feels crowded to me, and as much as I try to Tetris-style utilize all the space in the closets and storage unit and other storage unit and attic space, it still feels like a lot.

When she ended the virtual tour, the estimator was taken aback and told her that we have way more than he would expect from a condo, in fact it was closer to what he would expect moving a single-family home.
I feel your pain. I not only have packed closets, but much of Brendan’s stuff is in our storage pod, and we have the Tetris opperation under the bed, under the fainitng couch, above the cabinets etc.

This is why I sleep above half my wardrobe, a turkey roaster, a set of dishes, etc.
