<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">This is a great time
for organizing areas of your home that are normally too cold to work in, like
your garage and basement. Purge as much
as you can, and then store similar items together using boxes, bins, shelves,
racks, and hooks. Label the
containers/areas so that you can easily locate items in the future.</span></span></b><br />
