An Organized Loft
Alleviates Storage Problems.

We now have an organized loft and want to share the joy with you. We have a small house so the loft space is vital.

We have obtained

• wonderful insulation through a government grant,
• installed a light fold-down loft ladder
• improved the lighting
• increased the loft boarded area
• screwed shelving to the main walls
• invested in storage boxes and bags

How to Declutter and Organize. Recycle your Household Items.


THE LOFT

The loft was empty
The house was new
Seems clutter crept up
And then it grew

Could it slip silently
Up through the door?
We just put a few things
In the loft to store!

Oh! How did it happen
And whose could it be?
It's surely not ours
Just step up and see.

You are not alone! I think clutter finds its way into the loft almost by magic but you are now going to have a wonderful, decluttered and organized loft!

Your prize is that you will be able
to store items and find them
with ease.

SO LET'S GET GOING!

THINKING STAGE!

1 Choose a day that is not too hot or too cold.
2 Brew a cup of tea.
3 Take your drink up to the loft.
4 Find somewhere to sit.
5 Study the loft and the items in it.

PLANNING STAGE!

1 Do you need a safer loft ladder?
2 Do you need improved loft insulation?
3 Do you need brighter loft lighting?
4 Do you need a revised storage system?
5 Do you need new loft flooring?
6 Do you need a larger access hatch to the loft

Easy so far!

ACTION PLAN or DOING STAGE!

1 Go into the kitchen, make a second cup of tea and sit down!
2 Make notes of all the changes that need doing and study
the relevant information pages in this article.
3 Telephone trades people to ask for estimates and their work-schedules.
4 Consider all options and employ people where necessary.

Then just enjoy your planning and tea because now comes the muscle work!
BUT

Be strong, don't think of giving up now,
The decluttering will soon be done.
Look forward to peace and tranquillity
And time to rest in the sun.


NOW FOR THE DECLUTTERING PERIOD

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO HELP YOU.

If your loft is higgledy-piggledy then it is time to clear it out ready
for the trades people to do their work before the great reorganization can
take place!

When the loft ladder,the loft insulation, loft flooring, lighting, and storage system are to your satisfaction and you have dusted and cleaned then:-

1 Return only the absolutely necessary items into the loft.
2 Make a note of any further storage problems and storage solutions.
3 Gather all the unwanted/unnecessary items into the temporary
storage space in the garage.
4 Be brave! Check the relevant page for ideas for recycling

Your beautiful loft will now also be ready to store the necessary items from the rest of your home.
