When the walls seem to be closing in on you, it might be time to get rid of a few things. At first, it may seem like a monumental task, but take it slowly, a step at a time and before you know it, you’ll be dancing in free space.
1-get rid of anything with broken zippers or wheels–like on suitcases or wagons.
2-throw out broken toys.
3-give away boots that are too small.
4-give away small appliances or musical instruments that you haven’t used in over a year.
5-give away old coats.
All of the above won’t take you very long to do, but takes up alot of space.

Self Stor tip for AprilMonday, April 1st, 2013
To save the life of your dryer unplug it and remove the lint screen once a month. Wash it with soap and water and allow to dry. Lint screens accumulate a clear film from dryer sheets and fabric softener making it harder for it to do its job. Next, vacuum inside the lint trap with the long attachment used for tight spaces. When the screen isn’t functioning properly lint collects deep inside the trap and can clog up the external exhaust hose (check that as well) and make your dryer work harder than it has to. Wipe down your dryer inside and out and you’re done. Self Stor tip for MarchFriday, February 1st, 2013
Painters tape is a wonderful item to keep in your home. Unlike duct tape, (which also has many uses), painters tape is less adhesive and peels off much more easily. Using it to wrap objects with plastic wrap or bubble wrap will make it easier for the tape to be removed, therefore, saving the wrap for another use when you are done.

Take a little time to visit the farmers markets and stock up on the wonderful fruits of summer. Bring the fruit home, wash it, cut off the stems, slice and freeze on a baking sheet until frozen. Then bag it in a freezer bag or container for use in the winter. Protective glass for your artWednesday, March 28th, 2012
A while back I was asked to search for historic art for a very old building. I found some in the library archives. Upon having it made into an appropriate size, we had the glass that was going to cover the photo protected with a UV filtered glass. This can be clear as well as tinted. When you’re spending the time to do all the work, it makes sense to have the picture protected. This will reduce any fading. Its a really good idea to consider if you have some art going in an area with much sunlight. |
