The Process of Storage and Moving
 
   

It seems that storage and moving go together. I have moved a lot and, for some reason, I always ended up putting stuff in storage. When I was in college, my parents had a storage unit and I ended up ditching lots of things there every time I moved. Every summer vacation, I would bring more things home and stash the things I did not know what to do with in there. I never really seemed to take anything out of there, though. When I went to graduate school across the country, I actually had my movers stop there to pick up what I thought was going to be a lot of valuable things. I ended up leaving most everything in there and included them in a big yard sale the next time I visited my parents. I am sure those guys were happy I made them schlep all the way there for a little storage and moving adventure. I was young; what did I know?

When my husband (then boyfriend) and I first decided to move in together, we had another storage and moving voyage. He thought it would be easiest to put almost all his stuff in storage, since my apartment was the size of a postage stamp and I was already settled in. When we moved into a group house with some friends after grad school, the stuff came out of storage. Our friends then put a bunch of stuff in our storage place. We had a few friends here and there that would stay in our guest bedroom for months at a time. They all used our storage place. When we bought a house and moved out of the shared one, we used Craigslist to sell or give away the things we did not need. We no longer rented the storage place after that.

We were storage unit free, until we decided to remodel our house. We had always leased one of those storage places that was just a storage building, whenever we did our storage and moving dance. We always had to rent a truck or take multiple car trips to get things to and from the facility. This time, we decided to go with one of those transportable self storage services. We do not remember such a thing even being an option in all our past moves. They brought the steel storage box to our curb and we moved items into it at our leisure for ten days. The storage and moving people then transported it to their storage facility. After so many experiences moving things into storage via the old school method, this was like a walk in the park. We had a key to access our container in the climate controlled and guarded facility, just like we did at our old storage unit. When the construction had been completed, we had the company bring the metal storage box back. The company picked it up a week later, and we got to take our time getting things moved back in. We will never go back to our old storage and moving ways. It is nice to know we are much smarter than we used to be.
