Selfstorage

Looking around my house from the seat of my couch I can find 20 good reasons why I need selfstorage for the things that annoy me but I canâ€™t get rid of. If I continue on through the rest of the house Iâ€™m sure I could find hundreds of more reasons for selfstorage. The sad thing is that I have no idea where this clutter came from. It all just suddenly disappeared.

For instance, we have an empty fish tank that has been sitting on my basement shelf for four years. Well it is not quite empty, it has the filter, gravel, and heater stored inside the glass container where aquarium fish used to swim in circles. However, since we moved into this new location it was placed on the basement shelf with promises as empty as the tank itself that it will prosper with aquatic life one day. As a result, some of my tools lay on the basement floor instead of stored neatly on the shelf. Of course the easy solution would be to set up the tank, but we donâ€™t have any place to put it in our current home. So, that is just one item that I could put into selfstorage.

I could use selfstorage to put away extra furniture my wife wants to keep. I assume the best place for this furniture is the garbage, but my wife has other ideas for them. Those ideas remain a mystery to me; however, we can put my college futon, an empty bookshelf, and an extra mattress in selfstorage until those ideas become prevalent.

I canâ€™t blame my wife alone for our house of clutter; I am just as guilty. Since moving to Missouri, the laid back lifestyle has forced me to hire a landscaper cut my lawn. And since then, my lawn mower has been retired to the garage where jointly takes up space with my motorcycle. Consequently, my wife complains how she canâ€™t park her car in the garage because there is not enough space for car storage. This complaint becomes more prevalent in the cold winter months when she is scraping off snow and ice from her car because it was parked outside instead of inside the garage. It would be smart to just rent a selfstorage unit to put my motorcycle in winter storage and get the lawnmower out of the way.

Now we have been living in this house for four years and we are still not fully unpacked. Our basement shelves are full of storage boxes full of unknown stuff. And this wasnâ€™t the first time we moved these storage boxes. These storage boxes have moved with us on 3 to four relocations. We take them with us wherever we go but never open them. Again, my tools clutter the basement floor which represents an obstacle course more than a basement. So far we made every hurdle, but sooner or later one of us is going to trip over the air compressor and land on the drill gun.

I donâ€™t know what keeps my wife and me from using selfstorage. We have a few selfstorage properties conveniently located for a great value. I guess we are just lazy people who donâ€™t want to mow their lawn and donâ€™t want to move our storage problems into a better location. If we donâ€™t do something about it soon, our storage problems will only get worse and we will have to live outside next to our cars in the driveway.
