I'll bet that was a moving experience.
Personally, I haven't moved in 30 years, so imagine how much "stuff" I have. As for the rule about how "stuff" expands to fill available space -- You don't have to move to observe it. I built a garage that was about a 1.5 car garage. It's 16 feet wide and 28 feet long. I put the car in it for the first couple of months and then there wasn't room for it any more. Then we put an addition on the house that included a sort of sun room, family room, great room. It had two closets (now full) and a half-bath. Underneath is a 34X14 shop(now full). We also added a 24X10 shed to the garage and it is also full. I may have to move to find some more space.

> I hate looking around all the stuff I have to move, and realising that while it's too much to move in one easy carload, it's too little to add up to the nice home that I always thought I'd have by my age. I hate spending two weeks packing, and another two weeks throwing away half of everything I own to make it easier, and then more packing, and then having to unpack it all again at the other end. >
