Self Storage Units-Eliminating Clutter While Safeguarding Cherished Belongings

Between my husband and myself, within our almost two decades of marital life,  we certainly have accumulated a ton of stuff!  We’re not compulsive hoarders or pack rats or anything of that nature. But we do have a great deal of sentimental items like old baby furniture and clothing, toys, collectible dishes, as well as other things we would like to continue to keep protected and in good condition.  Yet, it  just isn’t possible for our modest sized home to store all of these important,  but not particularly useful objects without getting damaged.  Not to mention,  I cannot stand clutter, because it tends to make me feel closed in and very nervous.

I possibly could keep the cherished possessions inside the attic or garage.  However,   an enormous disadvantage of storing belongings in these locations would be that the area could possibly get way too hot during the summer and too cold during the the winter season.   The extreme climate conditions could potentially cause the dishes to crack as well as the wooden furniture to warp or become stained with mildew and mold.  An excellent alternative would be to rent a self storage space.

Uncle Bob’s provides a wide selection of Climate and Humidity Controlled storage units in a variety of sizes.  The spaces are cooled during the summer time and heated in the winter months.  This ensures your valuable items are  protected against severe temperature swings as well as mildew and mold growth.  The business also offers traditional self storage units that keep your basic stuff clean, dry, and safeguarded, but don’t essentially require environmental control.

We rented a storage space unit when we initially transferred to the location here in New york and it made the transition incredibly easier than having everything shipped to our new residence immediately.  By doing this we were able to unpack gradually without having all the boxes and clutter being in the way.  Over time we would move items from the storage unit in as we needed them.  If I was required to move again, I would do it exactly the same way.  Relocating is definitely dreadful, but this managed to make it considerably more pleasant.

Uncle Bob’s is one of the largest self-storage companies in the United States, offering over 400 storage centers in 25 states and 150 cities.  Chances are there is a facility near you.  For more information on the self storage prices and sizes available please check out www.unclebobs.com

    It is a great way to store stuff when you need more room.

    I need a small storage space. My room is cluttered with all kinds of things.
