| Chances are you won't be able to
move everything out at once. One suggestion is to wall off and
finish the storage area first. That way you have a place to keep
at least some of your stuff while you finish the main part of
the basement.
Remember remodeling is a dusty, messy process! No matter where
you put things, or how covered you think they are, chances are
they'll be covered with dust when you're done.
If you look at the project
plan (.pdf), you'll notice the first several weekends were
devoted to cleaning the junk out of our basement! Having a 'blank
canvas' (i.e. empty basement) will make your life easier when
you start construction.
It's amazing the stuff you'll realize you don't need when you
know getting rid of it will make your life easier later! We hauled
out several piles of stuff!
