That brings me to my next question, what has to be done to get to the point
that I can store pictures, photos there. If I add insulation to the ceiling
and/or put a venting fan in there to help dissipate the heat.( I'm not to
worried about the cold) Is there a way of doing this short of a complete
renovation job? I really need the space. The fact that I am one of those
people that never throws "anything" away probably doesn't help.

I want to start storing things
in my attic but there is no heat or air cond. to it. There is two open
vents on each side and that is it. I want to store things such as
pictures, blankets, Christmas lights and such. I live in Pittsburgh.
cold winters and hot summers.
Pictures, photos, and paintings will not fare well at all. Keep them on
the main floor. Blankets and lights should be fine, but be sure they are
well boxed and protected from dust and mice. Furniture joints and finishes
will also suffer in the attic.
