When I was 12 I used to have a bunch of pen pals. They lived all over the world and we would write pretty regularly. One of my best pals was a young lady from Canada. Her name was Lucy and I do not remember much about what we used to talk about. I was 12, so it probably consisted of video games and fart jokes. But I do remember once she told me that she was moving to America and that a big moving truck had come and taken all of things away.

I was hoping to find a storage container to store some books that I have. I wanted to move into at the beginning of August, but due to some financial difficulties I had to postpone my move in date. But I think it was kismet because now that I have my funds in order, I was able to find a storage place with a really good deal on it.

When you are looking into a storage space, it is a good idea to do a little research to find what the best value is. I say best value and not best price because the cheapest price is not always gonna be the best deal.


Tip 1


Location of the storage facility is important because you really will not save much if you get a good price but the facility is 10 miles out of your way. What you save in the storage cost you will lose in the price of gas. You also lose a lot of time every time you need to access your unit. Paying the extra ten dollars will be well worth the petro and stress you save from dealing with the commute.

There are many things in life I do not understand, Like how a needle placed on a spinning piece of vinyl creates music, but there is one thing I am becoming an expert in and that is moving .

 

My roommate and I have started small moving company, and we get calls on a fairly regular basis to move peoples stuff all over the city. I have also found that I am becoming extremely good at packing a moving truck or a storage unit. I am sometimes amazed at just how much stuff we can fit in to some pretty tight places. I am actually starting to enjoy the challenge and I get sorta excited when I fit a couch and china cabinet together like two well placed tetris pieces.

 

It has started this recurring dream, in which I have to pack everything I love into a 5x5 but it will not all fit, so I have to make snap judgments on what to keep. I always wake before I make a decision though. I wonder what this means, probably that I need a new hobby, or at least time to pursue the ones I already have.
