has anyone ACTUALLY worked out of a self-storage unit??
i'm from the Dallas/Fort worth area of Texas and i'm going back to
school soon. i'm going to live in an apartment w/out much spare space to work. i was considering working out of a self storage unit. i think most of them don't want you to do any actual work in their unit. certainly nothing w/ paint. has anyone ever handled this problem before? any personal experience with this situation (tips or ideas) you'd like to share? any info would help. thanks |

has anyone ACTUALLY worked out of a self-storage unit??
Several craftsmen and service people I know use these self storage sites for
warehousing of supplies or equipment. Nobody I know uses them for work because they lack power outlets, have no a/c or heat (except the more expensive units) and no windows. I have had storage space in 3 different locations over the last few years and none of them allowed on-site work (even hobbyists)...they let you access your unit as much as you want to move stuff in and out, but no on-site work. I guess that's just one of the reasons local woodworking co-ops exist....besides borrowing tools :-) I would look to see if there is a co-op in the DFW area. - Al |

Does anyone know if there is a woodworking co-op in Eastern NC (near Camp
Lejuene)? Thanks "jcofmars" wrote in message s.com... Several craftsmen and service people I know use these self storage sites for warehousing of supplies or equipment.

Brian,
I worked our of a storage unit for two years. (Making needed repairs on my cars while I was going to school). I lived in a mobil home and the tools from a 3 car garage filled the 12 x 20 storage unit I rented. It is cramped and cold inside if it is cold outside. My best guess is that you are not going to have a bunch of time to spend in the shop if you do your schooling right. Many schools have a shop that is openly or often provisionally open to students. Texas A&M, where I was going to school when I lived in the mobil home had a fully equiped shop in their student center. They also had an even better equiped shop in the Industrial Engineering shop that was available to their IE students. I would check this out before investing in a storage unit unless you need it to store tools, etc. while you go to school.
