Storage & Anti-Crumble Question

I'm new to bread making, I'm onto my 4th loaf as we speak. I have a couple question about bread storage and one about getting my bread to stay together better.

Storage:Where is the best place to store? Refrigerator? I put it in a storage bags, how long to wait before putting it in the bag? I noticed if I put it in warm it steams up the bag.? Should I cut it into slices before putting it in the bag (mostly making bread for sandwiches)?

Crumbling: Since I'm mostly making sandwich bread, i want a bread that doesn't crumble and stays together. I've been using mostly sandwich bread recipes, they hold together pretty well. But does anyone have some good tricks or ingredients that help hold the bread together?

Thanks for all the help, this forum is great and so are the people.
