Do a Pantry
After the current crisis, you probably realize that you need to ensure you have enough groceries to last you a few weeks or months. You might have a different idea about stocking up, which includes making sure you have an extra container of toilet paper and disinfectant wipes. Either way, you’ve also realized that your pantry near the kitchen doesn’t allow for much extra space, so now you have the trouble of finding room to store all your dry goods and supplies.

If you have an attic that just collects dust and things you don’t use, look up those stairs and see what type of pantry you can build. If your attic is big enough, you might only need half or a quarter of it and then can leave the rest for storage or create a getaway room on the other side.
