Well you know what the software guy's answer is gonna be, right? Move half the boxes outside, then watch the temp. Move half more (or half back in) depending on what you find... ;) Binary sort. In all seriousness, I can completely relate as I moved last March. I'm only now finding some of the things that I packed. That was mostly due to little hands "helping" us pack. "So THAT's where my screwdrivers went. I never would have thought to look in the linens..."
