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. It’s not a busy where you want to scream or pull your hair out. The environment is not one where you want to get up and quit. It’s as simple as apple pie, either you have a rental unit to rent or you don’t and tenants pay the rent or they don’t. 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. #1 – they have changed their phone numbers, Brought to you by - Visit our

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.
Fishermen and Self Storage “ Give A Man A Fish And He Can Eat For A Day, Teach A Man To Fish And He Can Eat For A Life Time” When people think about fisherman they generally don’t incorporate the idea of Self Storage into the whole scheme of outdoor sports but it is more common than most people’s thoughts of open water, boats, fishing rods, tackle boxes, bibs, parkas, lures or live bait and most importantly a day on the lake, stream or ocean hunting and tracking down a particular species of aquatic life of a person’s interest! The equipment fisherman use is quite vast depending on which species of aquatic life they are pursuing and literally the lists of lures, baits, attractants is endless let alone the different techniques that are used for each of the different lures that fisherman have success with. One very common species of fish that is pursued heavily within the United States is the largemouth bass.

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. There is no reason to pay more for a space if you can comfortably fit everything you need into a smaller one. Sometimes it just does comes down to comfort. Do you want a little more room to move around when you are in your storage unit? 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. As always we look forward to helping you with your storage needs.
