Does your wife really need to know that you own 37 sets of golf clubs? Is it worth an argument with your husband when you add another pair of shoes to your ever-expanding collection? There is a solution.
It is a bit sneaky; but sometimes you’re just better off not knowing about certain harmless activities. It’s kind of like when, as an adult, you tell your parents some of the crazy stunts you pulled in high school. As long as nobody got hurt, they were happier living in their own little world of “my kid has good judgment.” “His and hers” self storage could lead to an astounding decrease in the rate of divorce, or at least prevent a few arguments.
Imagine how peaceful it could be if you had your own secret self storage unit…
The Self-Storage Man Cave
If you have a man cave somewhere in your home, it’s pretty hard to hide your stuff, especially when someone else has to clean it up. And, if you’re short on space, it’s hard to hide your classic car or that life size cardboard cutout of Ric Flair that your wife won’t let you keep in the kitchen.
Sometimes, you just need to get away and spend some quiet time with your belongings. You want to admire your classic car without your kids covering it with greasy fingerprints and smearing chocolate all over the windows and your wife complaining about the expense.
Your space can be decorated your way. If you’re a sports fanatic, you can hang posters, install shelving for your bobbleheads and autographed sports paraphernalia, and even put a Lazy Boy in the unit so that you can sit and admire your treasures.
If you’re into video games, you need a unit with power. You can hook up a TV and play Fortnite until you’re dizzy. If you have vintage baseball card collections, you can admire them in peace without someone nagging you to “sell them because they’re probably worth a fortune.” Make a table top out of your bottle cap collection and a bar out of an old whiskey barrel. If your unit is large enough, you can install a pool table.
Maybe you like to fish and you need a place to keep your rods and reels, tackle boxes, lures, fishing apparel, as well as your boat. And don’t forget to hang up your original Big Mouth Bass singing Take Me to the River.
Another collection that we haven’t addressed yet is golf clubs, golf bags, and golf supplies. Golf Geeks are obsessed with them. I’ve seen basements with so many clubs, balls, tees, and bags that I’m beginning to wonder if science has found a way for them to reproduce. Golfers need the newest Callaway drivers, stand alone putters, and Titleist golf balls. One set is not enough. You have to be prepared for golf emergencies like a glitch in your short game or an over-correction on your swing. These are problems that might be remedied with a different club, so you need a top-notch selection. Be sure that your storage unit is climate-controlled. You don’t want your clubs to deteriorate in any way. It may affect your game.
The Self-Storage Shopping Stash
Women have a completely different perspective on self storage. They don’t need a place to hang out. They need a place to hide the aftermath of too many trips to the mall. Most men will never understand a woman’s need for more than three pairs of shoes, and they think that two purses is one too many.
Self storage is the perfect solution for an extensive, up-to-date wardrobe. You can tell your yourself it’s only for your seasonal clothes. No one has to know that every month is considered a new season.
And, what about hobbies. If you’re a crafter, you need a place for supplies for every season and every event. You need glue guns, paper, stencils, yarn, pieces of wood, grapevine wreaths, and so much more. Crafting is a huge business, and you’re doing your part to keep it economically healthy. You need to consider a warehouse-sized unit.
Does changing your decor now and then make you happy? I don’t mean only holiday decorations – just your everyday knick-knacks and household ornaments. Even if you have these items in an out-of-the-way closet, your husband is sure to find them and then the questions and the whining begin. What is this? Why do you need it? How much did it cost? And even if you explain that you saved money at a phenomenal sale, for some reason, husbands don’t see that as savings. They only see savings on things like golf clubs, fishing equipment, and TV’s as true value.
Remember, this is a “secret” storage unit. If you want to keep your relationship healthy, no sharing access with your significant other. Don’t worry, our very professional staff will be happy to keep your secret, as long as you don’t try to live in your unit.
Another problem solved with self storage!
