You may be surprised to see how many happy meal toys your kids have at the bottom of the toy box. These cheap toys may be played with a few times then end up just as clutter in your house. Kids can have trouble letting go, even if it is a toy that they didn’t remember having.

3. Welcome to our blog where we will give
you tips on moving and storage.
Over the years you have probably collected
a lot of things. Periodically in life we need
to downsize our homes
5. Some times the changes in the size of
our home is permanent and sometimes
it is just temporary. Either way we may
need some where to store our things
that we have collected.
6. Here are a few things we would suggest when
it comes to downsizing your home:
1. Separate the good from the bad. You may be surprised to see how
many happy meal toys your kids have at the bottom of the toy
box. These cheap toys may be played with a few times then end up just
as clutter in your house. Kids can have trouble letting go, even if it is a
toy that they didn’t remember having. So it is best to go through their
toys when they are not around. Then separate the items based on how
often your kids play with them and even how valuable they are. If their
are items you are not sure about then keep them or ask your kids.
This same principle can be used when going through your own
stuff. Try not to be emotionally attached to items. Sure there are items
you should keep because there is emotional value. But feel free to let
go of some things.
7. 2. If you don’t need it soon
then store it. Self storage
units are great as they can
be very convenient to store
things that you don’t need
for at least a month or so.
8. 3. Storing your items in a safe,
secure location.
Once you have determined what you
need every day and what can go in
storage make sure you pick a safe
public storage facility. This means
that it is safe from
weather, flooding, fires, pests; but it
also, it needs to be safe from thieves.
Check out this persons experience with a storage unit facility. Some
storage facilities are broken into very easily so pick one that has great
security features. King Arthur Self Storage in Draper and West Valley has
state of the art security features. Some of your items may need to stay out of
the heat or may need to stay out of the cold, so you may want to choose a
climate controlled storage unit. If your items are worth keeping then they
are definitely worth keeping them safe as well.
9. Here are some important things to keep in
mind when choosing a storage facility:
A. Price – of course this should be at the
top of the list. King Arthur Self Storage
is very competitive. Ask us about our
move in specials.
10. B. Location – Your storage
facility should be
somewhat close but if you
are only going to visit it a
few times then it is not
that big of a deal to drive
10 minutes instead of just
5. With 2 locations in the
Salt Lake City Valley we
are sure one of our
facilities will work for
you.
11. C. Safety – There are actually storage
facilities that do not even have fences
around them. But not at King Arthur Self
Storage. We have computer controlled
gated entrances, security cameras and of
course your own lock on your unit.
12. D. Security – Safety and security are two
separate things. It’s important to keep
your items safe from thieves but also
secure from pests, environmental issues
and more. We take pride in making sure
our facility is clean and secure. We offer
climate controlled units if your items are
susceptible to the temperature extremes
we have here in Utah.
13. If it is important enough to keep then,
it is important enough to keep it in a
place like King Arthur Self Storage.
