Been there. Put a deposit down on a house in Maryland, sold the one in Connecticut, put a 4 bedroom house of stuff in the basement. Financing fell through. Ended up with 4 bedroom "stuff" really stuffed into an apartment. Piles of boxes almost to the ceiling, and then 2 canoes on top. Narrow paths between the piles to access kitchen and bathroom. Book boxes near walls (not ground floor).
