At least once a week I get a call from someone that cannot remember which storage facility they used to store their belongings.  I find this really baffling.  Why are they paying all of that money to store stuff that they obviously are not using and do not have a great deal of need for? 

I just got a call from a guy in Edmonton that needs cold storage .  He wants to store cheese.  I explained that we do have climate controlled, but that is not going to work for him.  We had a good laugh when we talked about the storage unit being seventy five degrees in the summer.  His cheese would turn into a science experiment.

I just had a woman call and ask me about renting a storage unit for speed bumps.  No one has ever mentioned speed bumps before, so I had to ask her several questions to figure out what size of a storage unit would work the best for her.  We finally decided a five by ten would work okay.  Then she told me she might be buying the speed bumps in a few years.

I have lived in my house for about nine years now, and I have noticed that I have accumulated a lot of junk.  I have been working hard lately to go through boxes of stuff that have made their way to the top shelf of the different closets and in the garage.  I am amazed at some of the things I have found.  Now all I have to do is to be willing to throw some of it away.

I was a little intimidated when PhoneSmart first started taking calls from Canadian self storage facilities , but now I think it is kind of fun.  The lingo is a little different, but I have learned to figure out most of it.  But I will never really be able to get the whole metric conversion thing with a nearby cheat sheet.
