Hey everyone, my name is Kirk. Welcome to my site about preparing your collector car for a climate controlled storage unit. After completing my first collector car rebuild, I was worried about weathering and pest damage, as those are common problems in my area. I did not want the snow, rain and sunlight to wreak havoc on the interior or exterior surfaces. I was also concerned about rats running through the engine bay and chewing up the wires. Placing the vehicle in storage was the best way to prevent these problems. My site will cover all of the tasks you need to complete before placing your car in a protective storage unit.

Whether you are moving to a home across the country or you are in the process of building a home in your same town, you may need to place belongings into long-term storage. Knowing how to pack and store your belongings is key to protecting their function and value. Of course, you may not know where to begin. Considering most households have a large amount, learning how to pack and store your own books is a great place to start with your move. Here are a few simple storage solutions to pack and store your books in a safe, effective manner.
Packing
To get started, sort through the books and donate or sell the ones you no longer want or need. Consider donating children's books to daycare centers, schools, churches, and friends and family. This will reduce the amount of clutter you have in your home while giving others a chance to enjoy the books.
Pack all of the books you DO want to keep in medium-sized cardboard boxes or plastic bins. Make sure these packing containers are clean, dry, and free of any food debris and odors. This will reduce the risk of mold growth or pest infestations.
Place a good amount of books into each packing container, but make sure the box is not too heavy for you to carry.
Storing
Once you are ready to place the boxes of books into storage, you may consider the least expensive storage facility. While suitable for most items, these basic storage facilities are usually not climate controlled, meaning your belongings may be at risk of damage.
Keeping your items safe will require a climate-controlled storage unit. These units manage the temperature inside the unit, ensuring the interior never gets too hot or too cold. In addition, climate-controlled facilities protect your belongings from humidity, which will not only warp wood furniture, electronics, and photos, but also discolor and decay your boxes of books.
Climate-controlled storage uses heating and cooling to keep humidity levels at a healthy range, which is around 55 percent.
Do not just stack your boxes of books onto one another inside the unit. Place a pallet, blanket, or towels on the floor of your unit before moving the boxes into storage. The extra layer of protection reduces any risk of damage from heat, humidity, or pest infestations.
On moving day, you may find yourself overwhelmed with the numerous books you must transport and store. Thankfully, these simple solutions will help you pack and store all of your household's books with ease.
