Organize the Garage

Orange County weekend events sometimes need to start at home. It’s time to get organized!  The piles of Christmas decorations yet to be put away and future garage sale items still sitting on the garage floor are getting harder and harder to ignore. It is easy to turn the other cheek to the whole idea of cleaning out and organizing your garage when there is ANYTHING better and more fun to do! After all, when you live in Southern California, you don’t have the cold and snow to force you to face the “inside” chores that simply must get done.  Eventually, something usually inspires us to want to organize and clean!

To regift or not to regift, this is becoming an increasingly popular question especially at this time of year.  For many regifting (to give a gift to someone after it has already been given to you) comes into play when you have received a gift for which you have absolutely no use.  So what are the rules for regifting?  Can regifting be avoided?  Check out this article on www.WelcomeToOC.com.

Solar Energy

solar10-16-09.jpgOC residents know that reducing their carbon footprint is paramount to the future of their world and are actively researching solar energy businesses. Our environment’s resources are not limitless and we should always be looking for ways to be good caretakers of Mother Earth.  Using the sun to turn your roof into a miniature electrical power plant for your home makes sense on two fronts.  One, solar electricity is a clean power source.  It generates electricity that is free of harmful CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases.  Two, many state and local government programs offer incentives and rebates to subsidize the cost of equipment and installation so it makes good financial sense to go solar.  Solar electricity converts sunlight directly into electricity, which can help reduce your electricity bills by as much as 60 percent. What a great savings!

Don’t delay.  Make a difference today.  Visit www.welcometooc.com to help you plan your conversion to solar energy.

How to Choose a Self Storage Facility

Posted by Kris in storageRelocatingOrange CountyMoving

Kris

boxes_10-1-09.jpgStorage, admit it, we all need it with some of us needing it more than others.  Sometimes we are self-proclaimed pack rats.  Other times we find that when moving, storage is something that we need whether for the short term or long.   So when the time comes to look for an off site self storage location, there are several things to consider.  Some are the more obvious concerns are of safety, security, and quality of management, but consideration should also be given to the hours of access and how access is regulated especially if 24 hour access is an option.  Indoor/outdoor temperature should also be considered as well as insurability and other risk factors.  Read what Don Willis of Storage West suggests when considering self-storage at www.welcometooc.com
