Default Buggy "Storage Wars"

I have to store my buggy in a pay by the month storage unit and I was renting a 10 by 20 foot unit that was costing $90 a month and had a metal door.But last year the owner had a unit with wood doors for $50 a month so I moved to save some money.There are over 200 units in the complex and I have one of only 2 units that have wood doors!Storage wars is based on people that default on paying the rent and the owner offers what is inside for sale by bid to the highest bidder.He first has to cut the lock off cause 99% of these units have metal doors.Some guy paid $1500 for junk that was in a unit on yesterday's show!!!Alot of stuff is old nasty clothes that could be full of mice nests or full of spiders!!!...........so to get in my unit all you need is a crowbar or a hammer with a claw end hungry termites or fire. mancoman

Yeah, toys take up lots of room. I got a 3-car garage and my fathers 26x36 enclosed barn and its still not enough. I just added another toy yesterday....its good to have toys!
If I could get my wife to park her car outside I would have room for a couple more.

Also something that took up alot of garage space is when someone lost a mother or father and had no space to store their house full of stuff.I always felt sorry for these people as they had no choice but to plle it in the garage(s)............what kind of toys are you boys collecting to take so much space and come clean with it???............you and your wife the next time you bring one home . mancoman
