2 Interim Storage Staging Area: Items in the interim staging area need temporary storage until a specific date. An empty shelf in the garage can provide storage for the fertilizer waiting for the rains to let up. An empty shelf in the basement may be drafted to hold the troop’s camping equipment that you volunteered to transport to the next cookout. Every rough storage area (basement, garage, attic, etc.) in our homes should have empty shelving to create a buffer for our living areas. Do not worry that these shelves are “wasted” if they sit empty.
