The storage world has changed a lot over the last few years.  One great addition is the use of mobile storage for personal use.  Years ago the only option would be to find a truck, pack everything in to it, drive it to the spot, and unload it.  There was a lot of wasted effort and time, now you can actually have the unit delivered to your home.  This can save you so much time and you wont owe your neighbor that favor you didn't want to repay anyways.
