Moving Tip Tuesday: Keep a running list of all the little things that must get done. Last minute jobs have a way of piling up. You know, like cleaning the 5 year buildup of mold in the shower and removing the spoiled yogurt from the refrigerator. Don’t wait until the truck is on its way to frantically begin these tasks. A list will help you prioritize and make time to get these things done before you leave. If you’re into tech, there's are some great apps out there that could help you keep track of your list.

Is your student starting to plan for the holidays? Make sure you rent your storage unit early so your student can pack away their items early and focus on acing their midterms before break! https://www.trustedselfstorage.com/student-storage/
Moving Tip Tuesday: Don’t hire the first moving company you interview. Instead, try to obtain quotes from at least three companies to compare prices and services. When interviewing a moving company, make sure they are properly licensed and insured. For more advice on what to ask your movers when interviewing them, check here. https://www.moving.com/tips/5-important-questions-to-ask-before-hiring-a-moving-company/
It is Moving Tip Tuesday! Don't forget: once the dates are finalized, contact your utility providers to schedule service at your new home. You don’t want to arrive there, tired from the move, to find that the electricity, water, or heat is off. Schedule it ahead of time, and keep records of your requests in your moving folder. At the same time, request service stops for your move-out date at your current home.
This October Scary Story is brought to you from Hartford, Connecticut, where a man was using two storage units for his “business.” No, I don’t mean his auto supply business; I mean his chop shop. He was taking parts off stolen cars, reselling them or using them to build new cars. Needless to say, once caught, he was arrested and is doing time behind bars. PRO TIP: Don't do illegal business out of your storage unit - it could land you in your own 10 x 10 box!

Use Bubble Wrap to protect your belonging. Wrap your items with the bubbles facing inward for better protection against exterior pressure and accidental impact. The flat side is easier to write on (in case you want to be able to identify each item quickly) and will hold the tape in place much more effectively. Bonus: popping Bubble Wrap could have some health benefits. In 1992 a professor conducted a study where she found that subjects were more relaxed after popping Bubble Wrap - we all need that during a move, right?
Moving Tip Tuesday: Set your budget early! Moving can get expensive, and you don’t want to end up with major sticker shock on top of everything else. Plan ahead and research the best prices.
Leaving your RV in your driveway or on your residential property may be free, but it can be unsightly and inconvenient. Your HOA may have restrictions against parking large vehicles and your neighbors will probably complain. Another drawback is exposure to the elements. Your best option is self storage. It’s convenient, safe, and will keep your neighbors from asking you to move. Learn about our vehicle storage options here: https://www.trustedselfstorage.com/vehicle-storage/

Finding a safe, secure self-storage unit is easy because most of them are equipped with digital video monitoring, electronic gates with keypad access, bright lighting, and secure perimeter fencing. Many facilities are equipped with smart technology security that does everything from monitoring unauthorized activity at your unit to allowing for mobile entry and digital key sharing. Shouldn’t the people and belongings in your home be as secure as the items in your storage unit?

Moving Tip Tuesday: Dress appropriately. You already know that you’re not dressing for dinner at your favorite high-end restaurant, but don’t underestimate this suggestion. Make sure your clothing is comfortable, but not too loose fitting. Any clothing that has long ties or is over-sized can get in your way or become caught on something and cause injury.

Holiday Organization Tip: If wrapping presents for family and friends makes you feel like you're working the gift wrap station at a busy department store (all sorts of paper, bows, and ribbons strewn everywhere!), it's time to bring some order to the chaos. "Have a signature wrapping style," suggests Erin Doland, author of Unclutter Your Life in One Week. "I always wrap presents in silver paper with matching silver bows and name tags. It's not only perfect for holidays but for birthdays and weddings, too." Most importantly, it streamlines the process.

Holiday Moving Tip: If you live for the holiday spirit, then there’s nothing more depressing than an undecorated home during the November and December months. To avoid feeling depressed once you’re in your digs, I suggest packing up your Christmas decor, gift wrap, presents, and holiday wardrobe in separate and clearly labeled boxes. Ask the movers to put them in your main living room when they arrive at your new home. Happy decorating!
Holiday Organization Tip: Keep wrapping paper organized. Wrapping paper isn't just used during the holidays, so save space and hassle when you go to wrap gifts by storing everything together. Read about it here: https://www.littlebitsofhome.com/2020/02/wrapping-paper-storage-hack.html
Holiday Organization Tip: Wrap lights before storing. When taking down your lights, wrap them around a piece of cardboard or a wrapping paper tube to prevent them from getting tangled in storage. Tape the ends of the light strings to the cardboard with low-tack masking tape to keep them secure.
Happy Holidays!

MOVING TIP: Get rid of Clutter! Packing all your possessions into boxes, bags, and more can be overwhelming. Make it a little bit easier on yourself by cutting back on excess and clutter as much as possible. Before you pack a single box, do a merciless purge of unused or unnecessary items. You’ll have less to pack, less to move, and less to unpack—and you’ll start life in your new space with a clean slate.
Trusted Tip Tuesday: Use linens, towels, and other soft items as a cheap and sustainable way to cushion any breakable items!
The average American spends at least an hour a day cleaning their home. Instead of stashing items away in the closet, garage, or attic, self storage helps you save time and free up space by storing these items in a secure location.
