Overloaded, unusable closet One of the reasons we Californians don’t wear coats and hats, is that we may not have any place to hang them!  Just kidding, it’s California’s better weather that really allows us to go without layers and the heavy over coats prevalently seen in January in Maine. All kidding aside though, we Californians are notorious for filling up our closets with everything under the sun, leaving no room for even the light-weight coats we do need. Since winter is coming, it’s time to get in motion and get ready for company and the holiday season.  That’s also the best time to clean out all the closets.  You can do it all at once, and keep only what you frequently need in them. Here’s an excellent solution to the overloaded closet syndrome: take all that sports gear, boxes of Christmas decorations, tools, books, out of season (or out of style) clothes, miscellaneous stuff and those shoe boxes of old checks....to a storage unit at 5A Rent-A-Spac

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! ~ 5A IS HERE TO HELP YOU GET READY FOR SUMMER ~ With spring weather here, if you’re feeling over-whelmed with clutter, disorganization or unfinished projects at home - you need help! The answer lies in teamwork, organization and storage. So we’re here to help you get your home ship-shape and free you for a relaxing summer vacation! Our helpful suggestions: Make a list of the “Projects” you want to accomplish on one piece of paper, and write "Storage" at the top of a second piece. Now have a group meeting with family or housemates and schedule dates to concentrate on one project at a time. For each project list all supplies, tools and equipment you'll need, and assign team members for the work.  If you live alone ask friends or neighbors for a suggested handy person to help you. As you prepare to work on your projects, list everything that isn't necessary for everyday use on your "Storage" sheet.  P
