Before bad weather hits, I always clear the garage, so the wife can park in there. So not bringing stuff up unless I have somewhere else to go with it - need to have all the 'yard sale' organized and 'staged' in the basement. So next spring I can drag out everything I don't want. Then I can keep it in the garage long enough to do a couple sale days. After that I will donate, trash etc most of what's left. Did that last year and made a good dent in the accumulation.
