April 28 – Yesterday was a busy Saturday for us here in Anaheim. But then towards the end of the day, everything got so quiet that even the neighborhood kids who normally hang out at the parking lot were nowhere to be found. So one of us went out to see what’s going on. Well, we had two police cars parked right next to our corner parking lot. So not only do we have video surveillance on our property; we have police surveillance in our property.

In general, people tend to accumulate a great deal of personal belongings over the course of their lifetime and, more often than not, run out of room for all those items. Fortunately, storage units can solve the headache of trying to figure out where to put all of your belongings. Here are a few common reasons to rent a storage unit:

Make Room for Guests
Do you have a long-term house guest coming into town? Are you expecting a new addition to your family?  Spare bedrooms often become a catchall for our home’s clutter, including housing boxes, waylaid pieces of furniture, or other misplaced belongings. Whether you need to make room for a seasonal visitor or for a new permanent resident, additional storage can provide the solution. Clear out a spare bedroom quickly and efficiently by renting a storage unit today.

Store a Collection
A storage unit is a great place to keep a collection that does not otherwise fit in your home. Whether you have compiled a record-breaking comic book collection or have been charged with keeping the family china, self-storage allows you to securely store your belongings while freeing up space in your home.

Sell Your Home
If you are selling your home, eliminating clutter is a key component of home staging. Ridding your home of excess goods can help make your space look roomier and more appealing to a prospective buyer. Move your nonessential items into storage to help sell your house more quickly.

Move Efficiently
A storage unit can be a key component of an effective moving plan. Before you move, go through your belongings and determine what to keep and store and what to toss . Once you know what items you are working with, rent a storage unit, temporarily house your belongings, and wait for your home to be prepared.

In the past, every time we do a skip check on this unit, it gives us some goose bumps when we roll up the door to see what’s inside.Seeing a pair of legs behind the door makes us wonder what this person is doing here and how in the world did he get inside.Only to find out, that this “man” is not a man but a “mannequin” after all. Well this week he moved out. Hopefully it doesn’t have friends in other units waiting to be discovered.

Today’s happening is about our newly installed KIOSK. So many of our tenants are curious about it. Some even thought it was a ATM machine. I explained what it is and its purpose. I feel this will be very helpful for those tenants who prefer to pay at the KIOSK rather than drop-off a payment thru the night slot. The jury is still out on its success.

This was a busy weekend over here at Tustin Self Storage.  On Saturday we had our Shredding  service here in honor of our Pouch Founder John Yelland who was Elected to the self Storage Hall of Fame. We even had  a customer from one of the sister storage who had just missed the truck he traveled over here just for the shredding service.  

This was one week end that we could have use the Tustin Police traffic control people were parking on the street just goes to show you people wait for  a long time to go to storage. We at Tustin offer many different services from  Storage ,Shredding, and yes even Clothing donation from Planet Aid and this is one service that a lot of customers use.    We at Tustin would like to say to John Yelland Congratulations!!!
