    Default Ok I give in, getting a storage unit. Few doom room pics.

    Well I really can't move in my main room anymore. That and my rent of $1700/mo. (going up to $1800 more than likely in two months if I were to stay) needs to come down. So off to storage and a much cheaper/smaller place I go.

    What are good containers to get for extended storage? I will be getting a climate controlled unit (10x10 $155/mo.) and hopefully I can find a few pallets beforehand.

    It was a lot more manageable before the extra stuff I was storing at my moms house got the boot and I had to bring it home. These pictures don't show the number of full closets here or the garage either. I don't think I've ever posted my doom of room pictures so here they are before everything goes into boxes. Enjoy!




    That last one is actually all car magazines.

    $1700/mo rent? holy crap

    I pay $350/mo and thats split between 2 people...of course the downside is i acually have no room for a dedicated room of doom and territorial conflicts break out quite regularly here.

    is that includeing all utilities?

    as for good containers, i've never had a problem with those big generic plastic containers you pick up at walmart.

    Nope actually that includes zero utilities. Electric, trash, water, gas, etc are all paid by me for an extra $100 a month or so. Also it's a rather smallish two bedroom townhome. But welcome to Southern California! Man if rent was only $350 I could probaby afford a nice house in the area.

    Im hoping to move into a place thats no more than $1200/mo. next time.

    i don't know how the fuck you guys find shit with your places like that..

    Rooms of Doom like yours are exactally how i don't want mine to look. But the amount of things you've collected is impressive none the less.

    Sometimes I can be a challenge to find something I'll give you that. Used to be a bit better. Once those shelves got full the boxes just started piling up and up. Now its more doom than room! Thus the need for storage.

    You may want to ask yourself, if you're going to consider putting stuff into storage where you'll likely forget about it, if the stuff isn't worth selling.

    At least that's what I'd be asking myself.

    It could be the reason that often myself and many others end up buying dupes of certain titles. Down the road you "uncover" something and say "whoa, I own this already. Cool. I wish I knew before, but cool none the less." ; )
    With a humble heart, on bended knee...

    if it was more organized you wouldn't run into this problem.
