512 Self Storage

OK, you sold your home so quickly you’re not quite sure what to do next. How will you possibly get out of the house before the end of the month? While you live with your parents while waiting to find your next home, store all of your belongings in a self storage unit. There are sizes to handle everything from a single room of furniture to an entire home.

When it comes to placing items in a self-storage unit, consider how often you’ll need to remove certain possessions. It’s a good idea to place items you’ll use frequently closer to the door for easier access.

One of the first self-storage companies formed in America was owned by Martin Bekins. He built a steel and concrete warehouse in 1906 that was one of the few structures to withstand the devastating San Francisco earthquake later that year.

If you are in transition between homes, a storage unit is a great place to keep items until you are ready to move into your new digs. To make things easier, put those things you will need first or most often in the front of the unit for easy access.

Do you have those once-or-twice-a-year items that you don’t really have space for the rest of the year? Many of us do. Perhaps it’s a collection of Christmas décor or a mountain of canning supplies that have only seasonal use. Whatever it is, a storage unit might be a good option to keep it out of your hair.
