Travis wanted a new start to life. He was tired of living the same thing that he had done for the past fifteen years. When he graduated he got a job at a factory and tried to save up money for college. While he was there he met and fell in love with Jane. Instead of using the money for college he used it as a down payment for a house for them. He continued to work at the factory and was promoted. It was a decent living for him and Jane. They were happy and that was all that they needed.
When Jane was diagnosed with cancer five years ago it Travis tried to take care of her as best as he could. When she died two years ago he tried to keep on going as he was. He just could not keep up with his old life. He decided that he was going to start over in Scarborough. There was a factory there that had an opening. It was not as high up as he was now and it was less money, but Travis felt like it was the right decision for him.
He sold their house and rented an apartment in Scarborough. He just could not get rid of some of Janes things and so he rented a Scarborough Local Storage unit. He kept some of her things and some of the furniture that would not fit in the apartment into the Scarborough Local Storage unit.
He started his new job and worked on starting a new chapter for his life.
On the hour commute that Kim has to her job she likes to make up stories in her head about the people in the car next to her.
She imagines the guy in the red two seater sports car has a wife at home who is vacuuming in her pearls and has dinner made for him when he gets home from work. Where she will take his coat and hang it up after giving him a kiss on the cheek and saying welcome home honey. They are so formal with each other now that he is successful. Not like it was when they first met and he was working in a restaurant as a waiter to pay for school.
The guy in the older car next to her has a wife and two children waiting for him at home. They live in a small two bedroom house and have a Scarborough Storage unit to give them extra room. The children run to hug him when he gets home from work that night and they have leftovers for dinner. They dont have a lot of money but they are happy. He loves his wife more than he did when they first met.
The woman in the suburban on the phone in front of her is driving her youngest kid to soccer practice and calling her sixteen year old to make sure that he is home and doing his homework before dinner. She lives in a three bedroom home with her husband and kids. She will pick up pizza on the way home for dinner. This weekend they are taking the boat out of their Scarborough Storage unit and going to the lake. It is going to be a great family weekend.
Tina could not take all of the clutter in her house anymore. She had a three bedroom house that use to be so clean and organized. Then she had let her daughter and her husband move in when they got into some financial trouble and they had brought all of their stuff with them.
Today Tina decided that they were going to have to make some changed. They were going to have to downsize some of their belongings, and they were going to have to help out around the house some more. Tina drove down to a Scarborough Storage company and rented a five by ten storage unit. She had also gotten a stack of Scarborough Moving Storage boxes. When her daughter and son-in-law got back from work they were going to clean the house from top to bottom and they were going to have an uncluttered house.
They were not happy to have to clean after they had worked all day, but Tina stuck to her plan. They went room by room packing things into the Scarborough Moving Storage boxes, and cleaning. By the end of the night there was a large pile of boxes, but if you looked beyond them you could see a clean and organized house again.
They next day Tina took the boxes to the storage unit and returned home to make a chore chart. Each day the three of them would be responsible for a chore, and if you did not get it completed it was added to your list for the next day until you finished your task. Tina no longer was going to take care of them as thought they were children.
Cindy decided that it was the perfect time to remodel her living room. Her boys were both in college now and it was just her and her husband. They could finally have their living room back. Their house had been the favorite of her twin boys and all of their friends. She had to admit that she liked having them around. Granted they did eat large amounts of her food, but they were so funny. She was glad that they had a safe place to come and hang out. She could think of a lot worse places that they could end up after school so she never even considered telling them that they could not come over every day. She even loved how they called her momma Cindy.
With no more teenager boys tracking in dirt or spilling things it was time for stuff that was a little nicer. They decided to clear out the room and move all the furniture into a Scarborough Furniture Storage unit while they were remodeling.
When the room was clear they painted and put in new hard wood floors. The room looked so huge with no furniture or ten teenage boys. When they were moving everything back in from the Scarborough Furniture Storage unit Cindys husband surprised her by saying they should go look at buying a new couch and love seat. Why put the old furniture back in their new room. Now Cindy and her husband sit on their new couch and enjoy having control of the remote once again.
Kathy and her husband Dean love to go to garden expos. There are usually a few in the spring time that come into the Scarborough area. They love to look at all the different plants and flowers that are out there. They have a small garden in the back of their yard. They have a few tomato plants, and a few pepper plants. They have cucumbers, and even a watermelon patch. On the back fence they try to get their blueberries to grow but recently they have not been producing like they usually have been.
On the sides of the house they have flower gardens, and then in the front they have a few shrubs that they grow to frame the walk way. After they retired they used the gardening and planning as something fun to do together. It also let them be outside playing in the dirt.
This year at the garden expo that came across something that they had not though of. There was a booth for a Scarborough Household Storage company. They were advertising their great rates and amenities. They had never considered storage before, but the more they thought about it the more they thought of things that they could use storage for. Their garage was full of gardening tools and gadgets. If they had a Scarborough Household Storage unit they could actually have room in their garage again. The more they thought about it the better of an idea it seemed. When they returned they were going to rent a unit close to their home.
Since Caleb was sixteen he has had the same pick up truck. It has seen him through a lot of good times and bad times. It got him through college, and getting his first real job. It was what he and his fiancé drove off in after getting married. Now that his son was arriving it was not really convenient for a family.
There was no way that he was getting rid of the truck, but now that they were buying a family car he was going to have to find alternative truck storage. They only had a one car garage and there were so many cars on the street already it was hard to tell if you were going to get a spot by your house or not.
Caleb began to look around for a Scarborough Car Storage unit to keep his truck. There was just no way he could get rid of it. He could picture him and his son going for drives in it when he got older. He still loved it when he got to take his wife out and how she would sit in the middle next to him on the bench. It meant too much to him to give it up.
The Scarborough Car Storage unit that he found had all of the amenities that he was looking for. It was also a short drive away from his house so it was not an inconvenience if he wanted to go get the truck, it was the perfect solution.
When James and Layla bought their first house they wanted a fixer-uper. They wanted something that they could turn into something that represented who they were. For the past two years they have been renovating and remodeling each room.
They started with the bath rooms first, so they would have place to clean up. Next came the kitchen and dinning room. The living room and family room were next on the list to remodel. They were still deciding on what to do with the master bed room so they started on the guest room.
While they were remodeling each room they would clear it out and move everything into a Scarborough Local Storage unit while the remodeling was going on in that room. It was a great solution because they did not have to work around the furniture.
James and Layla were finally able to decide what to do with the master suite. It was a huge room so they decided to change the lay out a little. The bath room was already remodeled so that was one thing already done. They decided to expand the closet, and James hoped that he could actually get some room to hang up his clothes in there. Laylas one request was that they add a window seat to the bay windows. Since she was young she had dreamed of having a window seat.
In no time at all the renovations were complete and they moved their furniture back in from the Scarborough Local Storage unit. they were not quite sure what to do now that their house was completed, but they knew the first thing was going to be relaxing.
It is very true that when a person is looking for storage at our facility on 25 Crouse Rd, they will get our best. When you look at the list of different amenities we can offer the customer we do not see why anyone will even consider looking elsewhere for their storage needs.
We feel that when it comes to all types of storage we will win heads over tails in a head to head competition with another facility. If you can think about that need as a customer we have the amenity here on site. If you do not believe us, drive down Birchmount and make a right on Crouse. When the customer is on our property they will at first see how secure we are. We keep our facility completely surrounded by an access controlled gate. So only people that are actual renters at our facility, could come on our property. That makes the people that store with us very happy that we do not allow just anyone to walk through our gate.
We have all kinds of sizes that range from the size of a small half bathroom all the way up to a over sized two car garage. So when someone says that they want something like an average bedroom, we can say that we have it. When someone says that they need Toronto car storage, we say that we have many other amenities. It is true that we do not have Toronto car storage , but we can assist a potential customer in so many other ways. Hopefully the customer will see this fact and decide to rent with us anyway. We are confident that customers will all the other amenities we have to offer and rent with us.
Kate was ready for a change. She had lived her entire life in the same town that she had grown up in. she has worked in the same job for the past ten years. Drove the same route to work everyday in the car she has had for the past twelve years. She has lived in the same apartment for the past eleven years. Kate felt like she was living the same day over and over. On her thirtieth birthday she made the decision to change her life.
She quit her job, packed up her apartment and loaded it to a trailer that her new car would be pulling. She moved to Scarborough where she had some friends. It was the most drastic thing that she had ever done.
She found a great apartment downtown that had so much character. It was a little on the small side but it was the complete opposite from what she had that it was exactly what she was looking for. To make up for the lack of extra space Kate rented a five by ten Scarborough storage facilities unit for more storage.
She found a new job in a great office. Having some of her best friends in town she had a much more active social life. Going out on the town at night, and having friends over to her apartment.
Many people thought that she was having an early mid life crisis, but Kate could not figure out why she had not done this earlier. She loved her new job and apartment, and even thought it she had to rent a Scarborough storage facilities unit for more space it was perfect for her. She was enjoying her new life.
Nothing catches us off guard here at our location off of Crouse Rd. We get all kinds of requests and comments from potential renters and we are very content with what we have to offer. We find that we are able to accommodate any of the competitor pricing in town because we are competitively priced. Sometimes people decide to only rent for a month and we are able to get them the great rate they are looking for.
We had a gentleman call us today and they were very cordial and friendly to us throughout the whole presentation. That was until we got to the price. He told us that the price on the 10x20 he was looking for was higher than what he had heard. Naturally we told them what they were getting for the price, but that did not seem to have a big influence on what he was looking for. They were all about the price and nothing else. So we thought it would be good for us to ask the customer what price they were getting. They told us that we were a little off than what he had heard. We wanted to help, So we found out that the customer was only storing for two months. With that knowledge in conjuction to a special we were running, we did beat out the competition for the business of this customer. We are always pleased to be able to make smart business moves like that in order to rent spaces at our facility.
