When the McClellan Air Force Base was converted into the McClellan Business Park, we decided it was a great opportunity to move our small business into a prime location. As office manager, I made all of the arrangements so that we would move close to the time that our current lease ended. During that time, I had the new office remodeled to suit our needs. Unfortunately, the remodelers ran into some problems installing the plumbing for our employee restroom and the completion date was delayed by a week or two. This meant that our new location was not going to be ready before the lease on our other location ran out.

I decided that the best option in this situation was to temporarily store all of our office furniture and equipment until the new location was ready. I would also give our few employees some paid days off during that time. I immediately started placing calls to various North Highlands self storage facilities to see what was available and how much it was going to cost our business. I considered getting a climate controlled North Highlands storage unit because I had heard that our documents and electrical equipment could be damaged by the summer heat. However, a business associate told me that storing everything for a week or two would not cause any damage that warranted spending the extra money for one of the climate controlled North Highlands storage units. She said that I would be better off focusing on finding a regular unit that was close to the McClellan Business Park so that we could get everything moved in and set up quicker at our new location.
