My sister from Portland and I talked about this the other night.

She's renting a climate controlled storage unit for some of her storage - something on the other side of town or up by her in-laws in Washington. She & her hubby want to split up the storage so it doesn't all get destroyed during a disaster.

Money isn't an issue for her and I'm thrilled she's starting to take this all seriously, so good for her!

We had a new climate controlled storage building built about 1/2 mile from our home. The 5x10 are $50/month. The 10x20 are $100/month.

I took a look at them. The 5x10 is a pretty decent size. I refuse to pay $100 for a storage unit, so that one is out of the question even tho I'd have lots of fun filling it up!!

So .... would you spend $$ for a storage unit if you didn't have enough storage space in your home?
