Planning-----Storing Your Possessions

Here's what to consider when you stash your stuff

Storage can be used for many different reasons. If you're trying to sell your home you may want to free closets and rooms of extra clutter so that the place shows better. Maybe you have too much furniture for your new home; the kids have moved out but you can't part with all their childhood memorabilia; you want to store items for different seasons; you have stacks of documents that you need to keep but don't want them to take up living space.

Here are some of the details to check on when you selecting storage units: what size storage, rental cost, access hours, safety from water and heat damage, risk of insect infestation, secure, and is it a clean environment were I can store my goods at.

Once you've located a storage facility, it's important to plan how best to place your items.

Follow these tips to make your storage experience hassle-free.

• Place those items that you need to get to often, in the front. If possible, allow for an internal walkway inside your locker during extended storage.
• Make an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place, such as at home or at work.
• It is vital that you drain all remaining gas from lawn mowers, power tools, etc. Moving and storage of any combustibles such as solvents, gas, paints, etc. is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
• Use uniform-size boxes for easy stacking. Stack lighter boxes and boxes marked "Fragile" on top of the heavier boxes.
• Stack pictures and mirrors on end.
• Dismantle tables to save space.
• Cover exposed belongings to protect against dust.
• Keep a small box of tools handy for dismantling and re-assembly of furniture.
• Check with your insurance agent if you have extended coverage for those items stored away from home.
