My hubby had this storage chest that he used when he went away to college over 15 years ago. It’s been in the attic, garage, basement for all these years with an old tent in it. (have no idea why the tent was in it) I wanted to use it for blankets. When I opened it smelled musty. It’s cedar lined but that didn’t stop the odor. How can I get rid of the musty smell?

I’ll need to store my belongings at a self-storage place for several months. I’ve never done this before. Can you rent one large space for your car plus all your things, or is this not safe (in terms of fire hazard)? Is it more typical to rent a separate room/garage (indoors) for your car and a separate room for your belongings?
yes, I agree. Many storage places simply don’t look big enough (from the outside) for vehicles and furniture/boxes to be in the same space. That’s why I wondered maybe you have to rent two rooms or go to a completely different kind of facility for your storing your car. I would preferably like to store my car inside and not outside in parking space.

(1) The garage is in the UK (England)
(2) Power is available, though water and drainage is not.
(3) Is not intended for living in, but storage
(4) Issues are associated with building and planning issues

I know that is a very broad question but I am just curious about the pricing of a No-frills, very basic small storage shed. I want to build one myself and I just need to make more room for my garage. I need some space for my tools and lawn equipment(mower,weed eater etc..)

I live In Michigan. I need to store some items in one of those self serve storage units. I have a stereo and some electronics. Can they be stored in a unit(garage like door) without heat!

I have just insulated my attached garage and am having new wall board put up. Then I will have it painted. I thought white would be the color, but wonder if there are better colors and ones to stay away from. I want it to look great for cars. Also, I am using part of the garage for some office work. Otherwise, it is the usual things – car, tools, some storage.

I live in New York and have a small one bedroom apartment. The old tenants put up a "loft" for storage against one of the walls – right now I have some games, winter clothes, and other miscellaneous items up there. However, it’s starting to make my bedroom look like a garage. Any ideas that are not too expensive to make my bedroom look like a serene bedroom and not like a storage locker? Thanks!

I need to store some merchandise at our backyard so I can access occasionally. It’s too expensive to hire a contractor to build a garage, because I have a baby to take care of so it’s not convenient if they are in a commercial storage place. I used to purcahse a tent and build it but it’s not safe at all. Is there any other way to get my stuffs store safely in my backyard? I really appreciate your advise.
Thank you for all your advises. I really appreciate that. Yes. 1000 S.F. probably too big. 20×20 might be OK. I was thinking about use awning. Like products shown on http://www.sunsetter.com. Will that be easier to set up and tear down when don’t need it.

I rent a home with no basement or garage. I decided that I should invest in a storage shed. I need to store 3 kids bike, lawnmower and some medium size containers (about 6, approx. 5×5), and some gardening tools. What is the smallest size that would work?

When I moved here people kept saying washer and dryer should be stored in real storage. The pair I have currently are in my garage. Will they still work over time? How long can they stay before they don’t work again?
