STORAGE TIPS

Simplify Renovation Projects with the Mighty MI-BOX®

Posted on March 22, 2017

Renovation plans can take a little bit of time to develop. There's an undeniable feeling of excitement as the plans are made, materials are ordered, and the impending reno date is on the horizon. To make sure your renovation project stays fun and exciting, try incorporating a MI-BOX® storage container into your big plans. These helpful containers can be used for almost anything. 

 

Renovation Materials

Shop the Sales - If you're a DIYer (Do It Yourself-er), you may find yourself shopping around at different hardware stores for sales on flooring, paint, trim, and tools. Before bringing home that flooring you've been eyeing up, order up a MI-BOX® portable storage bin. You can have it waiting for you at home, ready to hold onto all your materials before, during, and even after the renovation. 

Get Organized - By having all your materials on hand before the renovation project begins, you can spend more time renovating and less time running into town to pick up a new paintbrush or painter's tape or flooring underlay or drywall mud or;

 

Furniture & Appliances

Pack it up - If your plan of attack during this renovation was just to stuff all your furniture into a spare room, you should rethink that idea. When a renovation is taking place, you've already lost one room in your home to the project. Why would you want to lose more space due to a pile of furniture taking over? Move it outside into a mobile container and you'll feel less put out. 

Weather the Elements - Many homeowners prefer to do their big projects during the spring or fall. This is mostly because no one wants to spend the summer or Christmas holidays painting and laying down flooring. However, these popular renovation seasons present a few weather-related problems. To skip wet furniture and appliances, store them in a MI-BOX® while the work is underway. 

 

A Convenient Workspace

Perfect the Finishing Touches - There always seems to be extra space needed during these projects for little tasks. Tasks like painting trim, baseboards, and crown moulding to chopping up flooring are some of the jobs that need to be done, but there's seldom a space able to accommodate it. A storage container rental can help. After all, most of your building materials and tools are already stored inside, so everything will be right at your fingertips. 

Stage Your Furniture - Now that the end goal is in sight, you may find yourself shopping for decorative final touches. If your furniture is tucked away inside a storage container rental until the renovations are complete, simply pop in and find out if those new throw pillows match the couch colour or check to see if the rug looks good under the coffee table before it's time to bring everything back inside.
