boxes for storageWhile I have never had any use for storage, my photographer needed a place where he could store his old works and some equipment he was not using anymore and was planning on selling. He found storage that was a few miles inland. He did not want to store his stuff near the harbor as he was afraid it would be ruined by salt and moisture. I did not quite get it though as storage spaces are always sealed. But then again there might be basis for what my husband is afraid of.
