Tips for getting a storage unit that best fits you

You are overwhelmed with all the stuff hanging around you and need to find a storage facility to keep it. How would you find the best one wisely with a quick process? Here are some tips for you to have a wise selection.

  1. When you type “storage” on the search engine, you will see some results under Ad. It is important to go through all the paid Ad results, but it is also essential to see the organic result, which is an unpaid result because it proves that they are locally popular in that area even they are not paying for ads.
  2. Call and walk in a lot. Most of people want to know the price right away because they think it is wasting time, but it is actually very helpful to call the storage company and get some information. It is the best way if you can actually go in to the facility and see how it works. Just like when you rent an apartment!
  3. Price varies depends on location so it is important to consider the location. Get a quote from the company with several locations so that you can find the best value with the best location.

People can be frustrated when there are so many storage facilities out there and don’t know what to do. Lots of research will help of course, but with also some trips. Hope you the best luck in searching a storage that best fits you!

What we can know with dogs’ tongue out!

Nobody can resist that it is very adorable when dogs put their tongue out. However, did you know that it can be several signs and they are trying to express something? It is very important to distinguish the signs from happy to hot.

Dogs put their tongue out normally when they are happy or panting for running. The tongue does not come out all the way down but around halfway down with normal tongue color. They can put their tongue out for several reasons “normally” so it is hard to identify when, but at least it is not so dangerous for your dog.

When your dog is hot, the tongue comes out to evaporate the moisture on their tongue so that they can cool themselves down.
The tongue comes out longer and more than usual and the color can be either very pale or very red. You should immediately put your dog under the shade and provide cool water for them.

It is important to see our dogs’ sign with their tongue.
It is cute but very essential!

Which weather to move and store??

Moving things to store in a self-storage facility requires a lot of physical activity. When it is cold, hot, sunny, rainy, it is hard to find perfect weather to move to the storage facility. However, we can find a better one than the other.

Many people think it is not great to move during a sunny and hot day because it will make people who move very tired. True. It is not a smart thing to move under the sun and it can be also dangerous.

Thus, many people look for cloudy weather when it is likely to be humid. However, that is not a great idea.

Some storage facilities like Dino’s Storage has a dehumidifier and air conditioner for their climate-controlled units. However, if the item is not in great condition when it is stored, it can affect the whole storing time.

Humidity, when stored, can make all the water-sensitive products stored in a wet and humid condition which can be very critical when they are going to be stored in one place for a long time.

Find a day without a cloud and humidity. It is hard to move under the sun, so pick a time around 6 p.m.-8 p.m. It will be great if you have a storage unit with a facility that has 24 hours access like us!

Why the self-storage?

A self-storage facility is an option for many people when they want to manage their space more efficiently. Some people think it is not that necessary but it can be the perk for your life which seems small.

Managing a space can be a pain even when you have your own space. A House that has lots of space to store but does not have a well-divided section can make you “lose your item in your house.” You don’t want to store something until you move out, do you?

Self-storage facilities prevent that kind of situation. You strictly divide the purpose and usage of the space with a well-managed atmosphere. You can use that space for keeping extra important things so that you don’t have to be super worried about keeping in your house. Otherwise, you can keep something that consumes space but that you don’t want to throw away.

Having a self – storage unit and managing it efficiently can give you a little more breath to your life. Why don’t you get a quote now for this extra perk?

Keep your dog away from this!

Since many people are having a dog as their forever friend, how to raise their dog is becoming one of the lifestyles and cultures.

Some people feed their dog dry food, very strictly. On the other hand, people feed human foods or snacks for their food.

We cannot say what is right or wrong since that can be their dog’s own habitat and lifestyle.

However, everyone should know what to not feed their dogs no matter what their eating style is because it can cause fatal damage to their system or even to death.

Chocolates

Chocolate contains methylxanthines which is very dangerous to a pet’s system because there is no factor that can digest this in a dog’s body. It can cause diarrhea or some disability to their digestion, but it can cause death if they consume a high percentage of it.

Onions, Garlic and Chives

These foods can cause gastrointestinal irritation in pets and could lead to red blood cell damage which is very hard to be cured and fatal to dogs.

Grapes and Raisins

Grapes and raisins are fruity and seem safe for dogs, but it can cause serious kidney failure to dogs.

Remember, foods that look safe can actually be dangerous. If you are feeding your dog human food or treats, be aware!

One broken tree should not ruin the whole forest

It is hard. It is hard when the incident occurs involving hating and blaming each other. A small thing happens and it fires up a bigger thing.

It is not very easy when something occurs and blames a fire inside us. When we get emotional, angry, and sad. It is harder to control what we see.

People tend to see the tree when they see the incident.
One broken tree makes people see the forest as a whole ruined tree.

We should distinguish those two and make sure we are not ruining the whole tree by ourselves.

We can weed out the broken tree. We can see other good trees.
We don’t have to break other trees because one tree is broken.

Let’s see the forest. Let’s protect other healthy trees.
