Unpacking the Smartbox

Filed under: Portable Storage Information — admin @ 4:19 pm

If you are moving, have a plan in place for when your Smartboxes arrive with your belongings.  In order to prevent chaos and clutter, have a strategy in place when you begin to empty your storage containers.  The garage is the easiest area to neglect when moving into a new home.  Unless you plan on parking you vehicle or vehicles in this space, the garage tends to be a dumping ground for objects or boxes with no clear place inside the house.  Be prepared with a systematic process for organizing objects that have been reserved to garage storage and have them stored together in one Smartbox.  Before you begin to unload this designated pod, make sure that the floor surface and walls are clear before you proceed.  It is much easier to lay a new epoxy layer to the floor before it is covered with your “stuff.”  Also, have shelves or areas in place for storage of specific articles or belongings.  Managing the move will become much easier and less stressful with a plan of action in place, and you will find yourself with more storage area and mobility with an organized new garage.
