Since he's asked you to "move" stuff at the house, then doing so certainly would indicate you are listening to him. If you don't do it, there certainly is a risk that he'd resent you for not listening.
You would need to decide whether you would store the stuff at the attic or take it out.
Which would get you closer to your goals?
Which decision would show him that you are moving forward?
And lastly, do you even know WHEN he is planning on renovating? He might be SAYING that he is going to renovate, but may never actually do it.
