Are pay stations in the self storage industry good or bad? Technology is an undying trend that has been playing a huge roll in our everyday lives for many years now. The use of technology has become essential to the way we conduct business and live our lives on a day to day basis and it is only going to become more essential and in-depth as time goes on. With this being said self storage facilities have been utilizing technology in such ways as running our facilities with specialized software, using e-mail and our websites to connect with tenants and to keep in touch with current tenants. Technology is even used as the way we keep our facilities safe with personalized gate access and high resolution security cameras monitoring the facility at all times. In today’s modern world we even make use of advanced pay stations that make it easy for tenants to come to the facility and pay their bill through an automated pay station that looks very similar to an ATM or cash machine that you would see at a bank or in a local convenience store.
Everyone can use a bigger Closet and Garage Now tell the truth, who among us has opened the door to their closet and said, “If I only had a bigger closet”? More and more homeowners and renters have a room or garage that has been turned into the dungeon of forgotten but needed items. I believe it was Harry Truman who said a chicken in every pot. Well we now have a chicken in every pot, but the family car is no longer in the garage. I remember when I first moved into our house. I think the car was kept in the garage for all of 6 months. Let’s now talk about closets. Now don’t get me started on my daughter. Unfortunately there is no more room at the inn, and I don’t have a manger. Here is where the local storage facility comes to the rescue. They have units in all sizes and shapes. Giving consideration to the option of renovating, and adding on to your existing home, a Storage Facility is often an inexpensive way to bring tranquility into your live without balloon payments and another mortgage.

Calling All Contractors Give me your’ tired, your’ poor, your’ huddled masses yearning…for storage space? While you may recognize the first few lines of this literary work, I’m sure you can recognize the simple change we’ve made. While of course, the original piece was about immigrants from other countries looking for a better life here in America, the same sentiment rings true for us here at the Storage Station, when it comes town our local contractors and construction personal. We all know that the economy of this great country is not what it once was, and one of the hardest hit areas of our work force and job market has been the construction industry. As our housing market is still not anywhere near stabilized, home improvement and building companies have yet to be able to make their return to profitability. First and foremost, a huge benefit to a self storage unit is the ease of access. For many of us, once we pull out of that parking lot at 5:00, the old saying, “Out of sight, out of mind”, rings true.

Buy Used College Books And Get Back To Having Fun Every college applicant wishes and hopes for the day a letter arrives stating something like, “We are happy to congratulate you on your acceptance into our university.” Upon arrival of your acceptance letter, or perhaps letters, you are likely to feel a sense of worth, that all the hard work you put in to your studies thus far has paid off and now you can continue on your path of education. The euphoria of having been accepted into a university can carry you right up to move in day and your orientation week. If it is your freshmen year, your university will undoubtedly have an orientation week full of energetic activities for you to interact with your new classmates. Over the coming years, you will form lifetime bonds with a handful of the faces you meet on campus. But in the beginning, from that moment of euphoria, things are about to turn a corner into a harsh reality on the day you stand in a long ling outside your campus bookstore . However, take a look around.
Looking in from outside a storage facility One might think working at a Storage Facility is the easiest job going. There are days when it can become boring and then there are days when you say “oh my goodness, where did all these people come from at one time?” Believe me, it is better to be busy then not and actually when you think about it, it is a good busy. The best scenario is: one day this week, I had a u-haul pull up to our facility and the people in it were looking for a good size unit – they had just emptied their mother’s home and it was all in the u-haul. The prospective tenants were very willing to let me get the paperwork done, get them where they could get something to eat and let me sweep out the unit. I have to tell you the most frustrating part of this position is when you call and call tenants to remind them to pay their bill, you can’t reach them because #1 – they have changed their phone numbers, #2- their e-mail doesn’t work or #3-their mailing address has changed.

Spring is in the air I awoke this morning and I could hear the birds chirping away as my window was open. It is really great this time of the year as the days are getting longer and warmer. It is nice to see the new green on the trees and the flowering trees out. Now is the time to take out the barbecue and lawn furniture that you may have stored at Storage Station over the winter. My wife will soon be saying to me that it is time to get the flowers that she plants and hangs around our patio. I must say that she does a great job doing this as it looks great when she is done. I really look forward to these spring and summer months getting together with family or friends and throwing a few steaks on the barbecue and having a few drinks. Since the warmer weather is here you also see a lot more motor cycles on the road. I can even see a change in our tenants here at Storage Station now that the weather has gotten better.

peta: RT if you're not buying leather... Everyone wants to save money Do you want to save some money on the size of the storage unit that you need? Make sure that you pack smartly. Getting the right size storage unit at the right price is very important. One of the tips I let everyone know is that if you use the same type of boxes to pack your storage unit, you’ll likely be able to stack them efficiently and securely in the unit. It is very important for you to make sure that the boxes you have chosen are of high quality and proper dimensions. Proper marking on the package is also important. If you have to visit your storage facility for any reason, ensure that you move everything that you need to the front of your storage unit. This will allow you to pack your storage unit tightly behind the belongings that you will still need to use. As always we look forward to helping you with your storage needs.
