When my younger sister moved in with us to attend school, I couldn’t believe all of the stuff that she brought with her!  I think she brought everything she owned and then some.  While my husband and I live in a nice sized house, there was no way that we had the room to store all of her stuff. We tried storing it all in the basement, but there just wasn’t enough room.  I had to walk through a minefield of her belongings every time I went to use the washer and dryer or get something out of the deepfreeze.

After about a week of this, I suggested that we look into renting a self storage unit.  There was a wonderful Queen Creek storage place close by and I told my sister I’d pay for it, since she was still in school.  I leased the space for a year and was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t cost a fortune. She agreed and we went through all of her stuff so she could pick out what was essential to keep with her.  Everything else went to the storage facility and I could finally move around in my house again. I certainly didn’t miss the obstacle course in the basement.
