Moving With Storage Containers: Packing, Unpacking Made Easy

Without a storage container, Cher Woehl's cross-country move would not have been possible. Woehl had just three weeks to pack up her 4,500-square-foot home in California for a move to her fiancé's 2,200 square-foot log cabin Frederick, Md.

While she considered hiring a moving company to pack for her, she wanted a better way to sort and organize her belongings on such a short timetable. The solution: a storage container.

A portable-storage-unit company would drop a storage container at her home the next day, keep another container on reserve and deliver them to her new home across the country.

With a storage container in her front yard, Woehl was able to start taking stuff out of her home, clear it out little-by-little, and make the process of deciding what to take and what to leave a little easier.
