Storage Wars comes to Brooklyn

No reason to keep all that large clothing - if you grow back into it I will personally kick your ass.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Trooper!
ReplyDeleteNice purse. Is it the Eli Manning edition?
I think the Eli Manning version has more lace and the pink handles (in honor of breast cancer of course, not a comment on the pinkness of Eli's err...handle).
ReplyDeleteLooks like the TY version of taking Sixty Grit's earlier advice to: Pack your shit in a carpet bag and get the flock out of there.
ReplyDeleteMmm, brocade...
ReplyDeleteMaybe Palladian can stay in your storage shed. I kid because I love Palladian.
ReplyDeleteHomeless in Madison do sleep in storage sheds.
ReplyDeleteThey're Storage Wars involve bottles of MD 2020.
ReplyDeleteAhould be "Their."
ReplyDelete"should"
ReplyDeleteI had a few Negroni's. Don't judge me.
ReplyDeleteTrooper ... for some reason I cannot explain, that photo of you is endearing. I only wish I could give such a peaceful and smiling appearance.
ReplyDeleteNegronis are part of a balanced diet.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell Crack about the Negronis. He'll go off about slavery in Italy.

ReplyDeleteThat's mean.
I worry about my storage space all the time. I still have most of my belongings (and almost all of my life's artwork) in a storage unit in Brooklyn which costs me almost 400 dollars a month. That might not sound like much, but I can barely manage it in my current state. It was only through the good graces of some of yooz guys that I was able to save it from auction over last summer, and only by selling a couple of heirlooms that I was able to save my belongings from auction again in December.
It's one of the great worries of my life at this point, since I have no way of moving the stuff to a cheaper storage space, perhaps in another state (I don't drive) and I have no prospects for getting a place of my own again, at least in the foreseeable future.
Ugh. Storage Wars haunts my dreams.
Storage is ridiculously expensive. Someone here in a rural area should lend you their garage or storage shed till you can get your shit together.
ReplyDelete(I've done that for others already which unfortunately means I can't offer now.)
With my sister Sandy
ReplyDeleteMy little brother Ray
Buy a big ole wagon
And haul us all away
Livin' in the country
Where the mountains high
Never comin' back here
Till the day I die
Damn, son, a 5X10 unit here is only $40/mo. $400/mo. will get you a whole house.
ReplyDeleteHow much stuff is there, Palladian? Like if you stacked it all together?
ReplyDeleteWould it fit in a 9'x9' area, say?
OT but I watched the Butler the other night. Oprah was completely annoying. It was a propaganda film for the Democarats and said to be "based on a true story" and I smelt BS. I looked it up to check the story line and sure enough about half the film was fabricated nonsense.
ReplyDeleteThe story told straight and factual would have been a good movie. That piece of shit deserved to be panned in Oscar vote and was even too much for Hollywood whores to vote for.
Palladian, would it help to find a storage unit in Jersey at say 200 a month? It would suck to have to travel there to access it, but I am sure you can get a better price.
ReplyDeletePalladian, Windbag is right, if you get out of NYC you could cut those storage costs exponentially. I'll kick in some $ to just hire a mover.
ReplyDeleteHell Palladian, I have a huge basement in Wi. You can store it there for free. No shit.
ReplyDeleteYou should know there is a polar vortex there, however.
ReplyDeleteOT about movies, World's End was way better than the Butler.
ReplyDeleteCrack is a robot.
Palladian, the plus about Wisconsin is the cheese. The 12 year old cheddar is insane. The Door County cherries are killer too.

Hmm. I'm not that good at spatial reasoning of that sort. The unit I currently have is 10 x 15 x 8, but that's mostly not jam-packed at all. When I had the stuff moved in, I wasn't able to have it put in the unit efficiently so there's a lot of wasted space. Not everything is packed well either, since it was a very rushed job. So I think it would fit into a smaller space. Aside from the initial move, I've had no help at all, so I've really been unable to organize the stuff better, as I'm just not physically capable of moving things or doing any climbing around, especially now with my knee. As I said, being a non-driver also greatly complicates things.
Anyway, I would love to be able to find something more sustainable until I can get my life back together again. Paying that bill every month has really kept me from getting ahead at all.

ReplyDeleteI've never hired real movers so I have no idea how much that would cost; wouldn't moving the stuff to another state be very expensive? I'd love to get it out of New York, especially out of the place it's in; it's $359.00 a month and since I'm usually late with my payment, they tack on a $100 dollar late fee after 5 days (!). I also hate the place because in order to get to it I have to take a bus that departs from the bus plaza that's right across the street from the building I was evicted from.
Dude, at $359 a month, the moving cost will quickly vanish.
ReplyDeleteI'll chip in.
I mean, as long as you're not, like, using it to store old newspapers. My old literary agent used to do that (warning flag? hello!) with stacks and stacks of moldy, yellowed stuff not worth burning in a fire.
That's not a bad idea, hiring some professionals to pack it up and take it someplace.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a lot easier for them to do it.
I've got a dry barn, as long as your shit don't need to be kept at a perfect 70 degrees....
I'd worry about summer mold though.
Palladian, Blake is correct. If you want free storage you got it in Wi. But, the cost would be expensive unless you know an OTR driver who is coming out this way? However, moving it in the metro area should not be too expensive. Let me reach out to some friends/fam in Jersey and Ct. and see if anyone has a basement w/ room.
ReplyDeleteBlake, Palladian is not a hoarder. The gays are too neat to be hoarders.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you is making a lot of dough in a deal. Tanaka.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees broke out their checkbook again for an untried MLB untested import.
Crazy, if you ask me. You think they would have learned with Irabu.
