Storage Friday

Today we had a very busy day. We have a lot of stuff we really don't know what to do with. Many of them are mine and just as many are my wife's. When we moved into our new apartment we had to combine all our belongings, with reason and what didn't fit went into storage.

Storage is a great thing. In short: ten pounds of shit into a five pound bag!

Stuff one does not want to throw out but can not be without is being relegated to storage life. And that is what happening to us. We rented out a 10ft by 10ft room to store our unwanted belongings. Last month they advised us that the monthly rental was being increased by @100. Well, that was enough for us to start to think about a smaller storage room. Today was the day when we went to the place and told them that if we could not get a smaller place we old move our stuff to another place. You should see how fast they accommodated us to a smaller storage room (5ft by 10ft). That meant that today we had to move everything over to the smaller compartment. So, we moved and moved. Naturally we threw a lots of stuff away but still there wa plenty left. My wife's son and hi girlfriend helped because without their muscles we just could not hack this problem. At the end w congratulated ourselves because everything fit into the smaller room and still the place looks organized. This is something that in due time can always change. Periodically we can visit the place and discard things we didn't want to part with at earlier times. But until they raise the rent again we just stay.
