In the last week or so the fall flowers have come into full bloom here at Tustin.  Since the parade, it seems the flowers have become a big crowd pleaser.  We get all kinds of people coming by and taking pictures and asking who our gardeners are.  Their comments have been that we have the most colorful and best landscape around here. We are pleased to hear it!

Moving into a new home should be enjoyable for the entire family. If you start planning early, you can experience a quick and easy move that allows the family to efficiently get from your old home to your new one! Utilizing the right tools, like POUCH self-storage centers , can help you enjoy the most efficient move possible. Follow these tips for a stress-free move:

Start Planning Early

Getting the family involved in the process as early as possible is essential for a successful move. Sit down with the family to talk about where your new house is located, when you will be moving, and what responsibilities you will need to take care of before you can leave your current home. Work together to create a moving timeline that will help you stay on track!

Get the Right Packing Supplies

Investing in quality packing supplies is important for getting your belongings to your new house without losing or damaging them. Purchase boxes in a variety of sizes, along with packing tape, paper and bubble wrap, and markers. Decide which boxes will work best for different items in your home. You can use the paper or bubble wrap to secure loose items, and don’t forget to make a list of what is inside each box with a marker.

Sort Through Your Belongings

Each member of the family can be responsible for packing the items in his or her room. As the moving date gets closer, ask each family member to sort through his or her belongings. Everyone should create a pile of items to keep, items to donate, and items to discard. This will help to get rid of unused or unwanted items before the move.

Take Advantage of Self-Storage

Make your move as smooth as possible with self-storage! You can store items you do not use regularly or do not want to bring to your new home, but do not want to give away. This will make it easier to focus on moving what you need.

Late Friday afternoon we saw some people hanging out on the corner of our parking lot. We were curious as to what they were doing. A few moments later, we saw a guy taking a video. Shortly after, we saw a TV van leave the scene. We aren’t exactly sure what the story of the day was, but we’re certain if it hits the news our facility will be on it!

With the right supplies and attention to detail, you can plan a long distance move with minimal hassle. Take the time to prepare to relocate so you can complete all of your tasks before the big day. Whether you are moving on your own or with your family, use these tips to plan and execute a successful move:

Start Early

One of the best resources during a move is time. As soon as you know you are moving, start organizing your belongings to make the move as simple as possible. Create a timeline that clearly lays out all of the tasks you need to complete before you go. This helps you stay on track throughout the entirety of the moving process .

Pack Well

Take your time packing to ensure all of your belongings make the trip safely. Stock up on packing materials like strong boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and peanuts or newsprint paper. Use these items to provide padding and protection for all of your belongings.

Use Self-Storage

Self-storage centers are extremely helpful before, during, and after a move. If you are trying to sell your home, place excess belongings inside a POUCH self-storage unit to make your property more attractive to potential buyers. If you are moving to a smaller residence than where you currently live, place your items into storage until you find space for them. If you need to move in a hurry, you can put your possessions into a storage unit and return for them when you have the time.

Whether you are moving or just need to clear out some space, Pouch Self Storage is here for you. With convenient locations around the Orange County area, including Pasadena, Rancho Cucamonga and Long Beach, we make it easy to safely store your belongings. To learn more, visit us online or call (888) 258-9626.

It was a cool Saturday morning this past weekend, so we decided to clean the front of our building. We set up the ladder to clean our POUCH logo sign. As we were getting set up, one of our tenants showed up and said that the ladder looked perfect next to our sign. At first, we didn’t understand what he meant, so we asked him to explain. He said the ladder is a big letter “A” for Anaheim. 

Are you getting ready to move into a new home? Now is the perfect time to sort through all of your belongings and decide what should come with you to your new space. Your family can save time and money and reduce stress by donating unwanted items before the move instead of bringing them along.

Encourage your family to start inspecting the items in their rooms as early as possible. They can create separate piles for items they want to keep and items they no longer want. Items in good condition can be donated to secondhand stores, libraries, and other community locations.

If you have items that you want but do not want at your new house, consider keeping them here at Pouch Self Storage ! See if our Long Beach, Rancho Cucamonga, Pasadena or any of our Orange County self-storage services are right for your upcoming move by visiting us online at www.pouchselfstorage.com or giving us a call today at (888) 258-9626.
