See my blog on self storage
We had to get the stuff to and from the storage warehouse ourselves. Unlike the many times before, we leased a portable storage container to house our stuff during the remodel. We do not remember such a thing even being an option in all our past moves. The company delivered a big metal storage container to our driveway and it stayed there for a week, while we slowly moved things in there. When we were done packing it up, the storage and moving company picked the thing up and moved it to their storage warehouse.
