Goodbye Summer, Hello Storage
Can you hear that? Its the sigh heard around the world as summer comes to a close. For the past 3 months we've been lounging around the pool drinking ice cold beers and throwing impromptu backyard bar-b-ques. However, all of this is coming to an end very soon. That's right, after Labor Day we need to store the coolers, put away the Slip-in-Slides (along with your white linen pants) and transition into life post summer. Planning for the fall and winter seasons is a must! By planning I don't mean harvesting crops and keeping the farm nourished but, by adjusting our home to meet the changing seasons and creating a cozy living space. Think about it, when you're "spring cleaning," you're trying to get rid of stuff in your home since you'll be spending a majority of your time outside. I personally find that when the weather gets too hot and unbearable, decluttering my house of knick-knacks brings down the heat just a little. This probably couldn't be further from the truth but at that 105 degree California moment, its all I got. But the planning I'm talking about is more than just some comfy blankets and firewood for the chimney. I'm talking about leaky roofs and squeaky floors. Things that can keep you up at night-literally. Take care of these projects before the rainy and cold weather while you still have a chance. Rent one of our convenient and portable storage containers and store your equipment and belongings while the renovations happen. Plus, you wouldn't want to leave your belongings out in the cold would you? Whatever your plan is to prepare for the fall and winter time, PODS is here to help!
Downsize to Simplify
It goes without saying that the last couple of years have been rough on a lot of us. Between lost jobs and a plummeting economy, many households recently have downsized and shifted their spending styles. Downsizing for many is dreadful and tragic. Going from a 7500 square foot house to a 2000 square foot condo can be somewhat of a slap in the face. The most important thing about downsizing isn’t about square footage or neighborhoods, it’s about simplifying your life and making new memories. The bigger the house, the more stuff you’ll have. With ample amount of closet space, you really don’t have to worry about finding a place for your things but when you’re downsizing and moving to a smaller residence, that all changes. Smaller houses usually clutter faster and if you want a clean and spacious looking house, you really have to limit the things you store inside. Your moving process should begin in rooms you don’t use often. These rooms usually house stuff we don’t use on a normal base or really don’t need but still hold on too. The reality is most households spend a majority of their time in one or two rooms like the kitchen or living room. The guest room and formal dining room usually are reserved for special occasions and if you’re downsizing, chances are your new place won’t have a guest bedroom. Start with these rooms and really assess what you should take and what you should leave behind. When you begin the process of what to keep and what to toss, our PODS containers can be a good measuring device to limit what you take into your new place. Try to fill one PODS Container will all your belongings and when you run out of space, you’re done packing and can toss the rest. Once you decide you’re done sorting the keep pile with the toss pile, act fast and get rid of the stuff asap! The longer it stays insight, the more you’ll be tempted to go through it again and pull out knick-knacks you want to keep. It’s hard to believe, but there are plenty of benefits to downsizing. Spending less on your mortgage payments, lower utility bills, less cleaning and you getting rid of stuff that has just been laying around the house serving no purpose. Maybe smaller is better?
Spring Cleaning with PODS
Between the rain, snow and cold temperatures we've dealt with this winter, it's time for some clear, sunny skies and springtime weather. The spring season usually puts people in a more relaxed state of mind. Maybe it's because we can take that well-deserved vacation we're in dire need of during spring break or maybe it's an opportunity to start over again. For example, if the interior design and layout of your home is something you can't stand anymore, than maybe it's time for some spring cleaning. Spring cleaning is an annual ritual one can perform every year to get rid of the old and make room for the new. An old tradition that started with the Persian New Year, spring cleaning means to "shake up the house." Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture allowing your home to feel new and re-designed when in reality, you're just getting rid of the stuff shoved in the back of your guest closet and dusting the little corners you never get to. Some homeowners have maids come in and do a major overhaul of the house while others deal with the cleaning themselves. Maybe you can make it a family event and get everyone involved. Everyone can go through their belongings and work through each room and keep what we think we need and toss what we don't want. However big your spring cleaning may be, PODS can help! Some of us have busy schedules that don't allow us to clean house the way we would during spring cleaning so when the opportunity arises, we scrub, dust and fluff up each and every room in our house. If you have decided to perform some heavy duty cleaning on the entire house, let PODS help! Chances are you have accumulated tons of stuff throughout the year and now you have to decide what to do with it. Renting a PODS Container will allow you to store your stuff in the container and work through everything without cluttering the current state of your house even more. It's unrealistic to think you can clean a 3500 sq ft house in 2 days and equally difficult if you have a 1200 sq ft house with all kinds of things laying around. Our PODS container will serve as storage and won't take up any space in your home. Park the PODS container right in front of your garage and easily take things in and out of the house. With PODS, you don't have any deadlines to meet and everything is done on your own schedule. Your spring cleaning can take two weeks or even two months, PODS won't rush you so take your time. Having no time constraints will let you put things aside and make decisions later on instead of immediately. This way you won't get rid of grandma's precious china set and feel guilty about it afterwards. Aside from offering storage containers, PODS can also provide you with packing supplies. We can deliver packing boxes and all kinds of other supplies to your front steps whenever you need them. Ideally, at the end of your spring cleaning effort you will have more available space throughout your home and maintained the cleanliness by avoiding storing inside your home and in a PODS container. Let's say you get everything cleaned out and are undecided on some pieces since they don't have a place inside your home but are to sentimental to just throw out. You could store them in the garage and risk mold, leakage and even damage and breakage or, you can send the stuff in the PODS Container to our storage center and we will keep them as long as you need us too. By keeping the items in storage, you will be able to keep the cleanliness and avoid creating a mess all over again since you'll only keep what you really need. PODS will hold your storage container in our safe and secure warehouse and when you finally make the decision to keep or toss, you can do so without waiting till next year's spring cleaning rush.
