Tips for Packing a Storage Unit

Welcome to my website. My name is Mitchell. Two years ago I moved from a large home to a one-bedroom condo. The hardest part of the move was trying to decide what to put in my new place. Then from the furniture and belongings I wasn’t going to keep, what to do with it all. Lots went to family members, some items were donated to charities, and there was some I wanted to keep but didn’t have room for so it’s stored. I rented a storage unit not far from where I live so I can go dig through for items I want. I’ve learned a lot about organizing a storage unit over these two years! I would like to share some helpful tips with you. I hope you find them to be useful.
