I finally have a working washer and dryer conveniently located in my own apartment! Public facilities are a thing of the past for me, and I couldn’t be happier at the moment. This is all thanks to a very friendly couple of neighbors who were happy to let me have the appliances just to get them off of their hands. We took my truck to the storage unit where the washer and dryer were located, and I saw that this couple had much more on their hands than unwanted appliances! A classic example of when self-storage goes wrong! My new washer and dryer were burried behind mounds of odds and ends stretching floor to ceiling. I dug a path through garbage bags, pillowcases, drink coolers, and just about every other type of household item that could feasibly be packed by people who don’t believe in boxes. These substitute-containers spilled out crayons, silverware, unmatched socks, tangled cords, and more onto the floor of this tiny, shrinking junk-room of doom. Long, painful, yet successful story short; I will soon pour a fresh pile of blankets and clothing fresh from the dryer onto my bed and emmerse myself in its warmth and fragrance… just for nostalgia sake.
I was so thankful that my neighbors did me this favor, that I returned it immediately. The couple will be meeting with local Connecticut movers this weekend for their last day in that horrific storage unit. Professional movers will pack their odds and ends up (USING BOXES THIS TIME!), quilt-wrap all furnishings, and drive these belongings to our storage facility where the couple’s items will be professional loaded into their new improved storage vault! My neighbors were very pleased with the service and were also pleased to learn that we handle small moves as well. In a few months, the same local Connecticut movers who rescued them from a self-storage nightmare, will deliver a dresser and a crib for their soon-to-be newborn son’s first room. Families helping families… All My Sons Moving and Storage.
