Finding a Place for My Urban Gardening Supplies

Urban gardening is all the rage right now, and I decided to jump on the bandwagon this spring to start a little balcony garden of my own. The great part about urban container gardens is that you don't really need a ton of stuff to get started, and it's not expensive.  I don't need a tiller or a mower or a trimmer or any of that – just some potting soil and compost and basic gardening supplies.

The issue is that my tiny Miami Gardens apartment doesn't even have room for those basic supplies! When I first thought about starting a garden, I was having trouble thinking about where I would keep everything, since every shelf and closet space in my apartment is full. I even use the spaces under the couch and bed for extra storage!

Lucky for me, a friend in the area suggested that I check out US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage location to see if they could give me the extra space I needed to make my urban garden work. I went there on a Saturday afternoon to talk with the manager, a little skeptical that they would even have units small and cheap enough for me. But I really wanted to make room for my gardening supplies, so I figured I would at least check it out!

Well, I was really happy to find that the location did, indeed, have some great small, affordable units. I decided not to rent one right then, though, because even the smallest unit was too large for what I needed. I went back to my workplace that week to try to see if I could get anyone to split the second smallest unit size with me. I knew a few other people where I work had been looking for a way to get some extra space in their homes or apartments, so I figured that this was worth a shot.

I found a coworker who was willing to check out the Miami Gardens Self Storage location to see if she might be interested in splitting up a storage unit with me. We went the next week, and she was totally satisfied by what she saw. The units were clean and tidy, had great security, and were really easy to access. Add that all to the fact that they were very affordably priced, and you really can't beat that for self storage!

So, my friend and I ended up renting the second large self storage unit together. That gave us each about as much space as the smallest unit would have afforded, but it was cheaper for us both in the long run! It was great to be able to save even more money on an already affordable Miami Gardens Self Storage locker.

My Business Document Storage Solution

When I first got into business several years ago, one thing I struggled with was dealing with all the documents I needed to have for my business. There were just so many things to organize that I wasn't sure what to do with them. Plus, I didn't need those documents very often, but when I did need them, I needed to be able to get to them easily. That meant that keeping them in a file cabinet in my office wasn't necessary, but I also couldn't bury them in my attic where it would take me hours to find what I needed when I was in need of those documents.

So I went in search of a good document storage solution right away. Since I was working out of a very small space, lots of the most common solutions on the market just weren't going to work for me. Instead, I ended up getting creative and actually using a Miami Gardens Self Storage center called US Storage Centers as a place for me to store my business documents.

There are several reasons that I chose the US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage location for my business documents. Here are a couple of those reasons:

Better Security

One thing I thought of early on when it came to my business documents was how much important – vital! – information was contained in those business documents that I was dealing with. All my business's tax information and earnings information was right there for the taking. Call me paranoid, but I didn't really want to store all that information in my home, where I often have guests, or even in my offices, where any employee of mine could access it.

That's one reason that a Miami Gardens Self Storage unit sounded like such a good idea. If I used a Miami Gardens Self Storage unit with good security, I wouldn't have to worry about people getting into my business documents without permission.

One reason I chose US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage location was that they do have good security. I don't really need to pay for Fort Knox style high-level security, but the simple yet effective technology of the storage center is perfect for my needs. Basically you have to have both a gate code and the key to my unit to get into my unit without either setting off an alarm or breaking the lock. Either one of those events would most likely deter a potential thief, or in the very least would let me know when my information had been compromised!

Low Prices

Of course, as a new business owner, cost was paramount in my plan. I couldn't afford to pay a fortune for self storage, which is another reason I decided to go with US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage. The location had small units that would be perfect for starting out, and they weren't all that costly. It was much cheaper than adding a room onto my ideal office suit, for certain, and it was a great way to get some extra storage space without paying a fortune.

Miami Gardens – Reselling Furniture Out of My Storage Unit

I've always been the entrepreneurial type, but I've never been able to get enough money together to start a business that has a ton of overhead costs. So, I decided to start a small resale business. These days, so many people are looking for a great deal, and people aren't above buying things used that they would have bought new not too long ago. That's why I got into the business of furniture resale. I'm the one who really knows where to find the great deals, and I'll use my knowledge to make a couple of bucks while giving someone else a decent deal on some used furniture.

What I'll do is shop at garage sales. You can get furniture cheaper there than you can at Goodwill or on Craigslist because most people holding garage sales are just trying to get rid of stuff. If you know the right places to look, you can get some really good deals on nice furniture, too. Garage sales are great, but most people will shop Craigslist instead because they just don't have time to go garage sale shopping.

So, I do that part for them. I'll shop at garage sales every week, and then I'll mark my finds up and put them on Craigslist to resell them to people who are looking for furniture. It's a great way to make a couple of bucks, and it's an interesting business, too.

The thing is that I have to have a good place to keep all the furniture between buying it and selling it. For me, that place has become the Miami Gardens Self Storage location of US Storage Centers. The US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage location is close to home, and it's an affordable way to get the storage space I need to make my furniture resale business run smoothly.

I have quite a large storage unit with the US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage location. The unit is easy to pack with furniture, and I can meet potential buyers there to have them look at the furniture they're interested in. That way the storage both gives me more space to put my furniture in and provides me with a place to meet potential buyers that isn't my personal home address.

There are several different things that make the US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage location perfect for me. For one thing, they have great prices. As a small business owner, it's all about the bottom line for me, and I wanted to be sure I was getting good value for my money when I put my business goods in storage.

Getting good value for my money doesn't just mean getting the lowest price, though. It also means making sure that I get good customer service. The Miami Gardens Self Storage location offers unmatched customer service. The manager is very up to date on his industry in general, and he actually helped give me some tips to help me conserve space and make sure my resale furniture is in as good of shape coming out of storage as it was going into it.

Storing Baby Stuff in Miami Gardens

Moving While Pregnant

Moving when you're pregnant – especially very pregnant – is never really a good idea, but sometimes it's just a necessity. That was the case with me, anyway. I was due to be eight months pregnant when my husband and I finally moved into a place that was really big enough to bring a baby into. Some people would call the timing perfect. At least I wasn't moving with a newborn or stuck in a tiny apartment with a tiny baby! I call the timing annoying. If we could have moved sooner in the pregnancy, we would have.

The worst part about waiting so long to move was that I really wanted to start getting stuff ready for the baby. Obviously, though, I couldn't put a nursery together if we didn't have one. Heck, I didn't even have a place to put baby clothes – let alone a crib and rocking chair! I was losing my mind trying to figure out how we were ever going to move and then gather and organize all the baby stuff in the three or four weeks before he or she was born! Luckily, a friend suggested I check out Miami Gardens Self Storage locations to see if one of them would offer an affordable solution.

That's when I found US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage. The Miami Gardens Self Storage location was close to our current home and to the neighborhood where we were hoping to move. It has low prices and great specials, as I found out through the company's website. Plus, they had smaller sized units that would be perfect. I wouldn't have to spend much money for storage, but I'd have just a bit of extra space where I could store baby gear as I bought it or received it as a gift!

I went in to the Miami Gardens Self Storage location and was even more impressed with the Miami Gardens Self Storage location by US Storage Centers. The facility was neat and clean, and the manager was great right of the bat. He immediately understood my situation and helped me get the best deal on the ideally-sized unit for my needs. He also took time to explain how things like the location's security system worked, which was great since I tend to be a bit of a worrier.

That security system really is pretty impressive. First off, every renter gets to buy his or her own lock for their unit. That means that no one else, including the Miami Gardens Self Storage manager, has to have the key or combination. Plus, all the units have individually alarmed doors. The doors will go off if someone opens the unit without first punching in the code that turns off the alarm! It's a pretty high tech system that's still easy to use, and it definitely keep theft rates remarkably low at the Miami Gardens Self Storage location.

A Spot for Our Camping Stuff

My wife and I have always enjoyed camping together – since we were young and engaged. It was something we did a lot when the kids were little, and we still go camping quite often. We're actual tent camping people, too. None of this fake camping with a flushing toilet for us! But with camping, comes a lot of gear – especially now that we keep enough around to take the grandkids camping with us when they're visiting. Since we've downsized to a smaller condo, we use a Miami Gardens Self Storage unit at a place called US Storage Centers to keep our camping gear stored and ready to go at a moment's notice.

When we first decided to downsize after our youngest moved out of the house, we were actually excited. There would be less cleaning to do, and we wouldn't have to worry about yard work anymore. We were ready to cut all the extra fat from our home, and wouldn't regret getting rid of most of our stuff. However, we weren't ready to give up all our camping gear, since we still used it on a regular basis. We went back and forth about the problem for a while until one of my wife's friends suggested that we check out a Miami Garden Self Storage unit to store our camping gear in.

At first, we were a little skeptical just because we figured it would cost a lot to rent a Miami Gardens Self Storage unit. After all, the only people we knew to use a storage unit had done so for short periods of time when they were moving or something. We just had no idea what to expect cost-wise. Before we downsized, though, we decided to go check out our options.

A neighbor recommended US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage, and we decided to check it out. We were immediately impressed with the cleanliness and security of the facility, and we decided that if we were going to store our stuff anywhere, this would be as good a location as any. When we talked with the manager about what we needed and got prices for storage units, we were really surprised at how affordable it would be to store our camping gear there.

My Self Storage Story - Miami Gardens

Saving Stuff for Baby Number Two

When we had our first baby eighteen months ago, it was really amazing how much stuff we discovered we needed. Our family and friends helped provide lots of things we needed at our baby shower, and we were able to buy the rest ourselves. We decided to get all the big stuff – nursery set, swing, bouncy seat, etc. – in neutral colors, though, so that we'd be able to use it for our second baby, whichever gender that baby turned out to be. Now, our little girl is outgrowing all her baby stuff, and we just don't have room for it in our apartment anymore! Luckily, we have a Miami Gardens Self Storage unit at US Storage Centers so that we can keep our little girl's baby things together for our second baby.

When our baby started to outgrow her things, we weren't sure what to do with them. For a while, it wasn't that big of a deal, but then after her first birthday, she got lots of new toys, including some big toys that took up lots of room in our two-bedroom apartment. What were we supposed to do with all that stuff and her baby stuff? We could have sold the things she was outgrowing, but we knew we'd just need them again when we tried for baby number two in another year or so.

Instead of getting rid of things, we decided to look into storage options. While we could store a few odds and ends in our little girl's closet, there really wasn't room for very much in there, so we decided to rent a Miami Gardens Self Storage unit. We checked out a few different places in Miami Gardens, but we ended up settling on the US Storage Centers Miami Gardens Self Storage center for a few reasons.

For one thing, they had the size unit we needed – just a 5x5. We thought we would need a slightly larger storage space, but the manager at US Storage Centers helped us see how we could make the most of our space by breaking everything down and packing the boxes all the way up to the ceiling of the storage unit.
