Storing Your Things for the Winter

Winter Storage
The winter is a perfect time for doing a little cleaning in your garage. If you are like me, you will need the space during the winter months. Go ahead and make it. You don't have to leave it for the traditional spring cleaning.
I just did this myself this past weekend and I thought I would share the process. Essentially, I needed space in my garage. In order to make the space, it was time to take some of my stuff to a storage unit. There was a two hour gap on Sunday, so off I went.
The process was easy. What did I need to do to make room in my garage? The big items were the first to go. Those made the biggest impact the fastest. After that, it was time for the seasonal items. The bikes, mowers, weed eaters, and everything else like that had to go. The finishing touches were the things our family had outgrown. Off went the Little Tikes, big wheels, Y-scooter, and things like that. It was glorious. My garage looks great and all of my things are stored nicely and securely in a storage facility right down the road at
Storage Haul.
