Is an entryway a mudroom?

• <div><p>While you may hear entryways referred to as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-add-mudroom-my-house.htm">mudrooms</a>, there are some differences. Entryways are often the entrance point to the house from a guest’s perspective, which is why they’re off the front door. Mudrooms are less formal entrances that are more for the people living in the home, which is why mudrooms are often attached to garages or the side or rear of the house. Entryways are also more formally decorated, while mudrooms are often all about utility.</p></div>

How to pack clothes for long-term storage?

• <div><p>When storing your clothes long-term, first consider the container's breathability. While plastic bags, cardboard boxes, or vacuum sealing may be great options for short-term storage, they won’t help your clothes hold up in the long term. Breathable plastic boxes and fabric bags help with airflow, prevent mold or mildew from building up, and allow proper airflow.</p></div>

Do I need a building permit for a closet?

• <div><p>You may need a building permit to add a closet, depending on the size and kind of work required to install it. The most likely scenario requiring a permit involves changing the structure of the house and performing electrical work for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bright-ideas-closet-lighting.htm">closet lighting</a>. A permit can cost between $100 and $450. If you’re installing a smaller reach-in closet, a permit may not be required, but always check with your local municipality and consult a closet designer or builder.</p></div>

Q: How do I find something in storage?

• <div><p>We use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/storage-ideas-every-room-your-house.htm">storage in nearly every room of the house</a>, so it's no surprise that we lose track of things from time to time. The best way to organize storage is to declutter each year to cut down on auxiliary items that can be donated or tossed. Once you decide what's worth keeping, create an inventory list for all boxes you won't open for at least six months.</p></div>

Q: How much space is there between bathroom closet shelves?

• <div><p>If you have a bathroom closet with movable shelves, you can place them at virtually any spacing that works for you. Useful measurements between shelves in the working, or middle, section can be 10 to 16 inches for towels or linens. Lower or higher shelving could be up to 24 inches between shelves to store lesser-used or bulky items or boxes. </p></div>

The staff was very kind, and it was apparent that they were dog lovers. The space seemed a bit disorganized, though, and the checkout process took a long time. They listed a storage room as a "suite", which costs more, but it was no more than the size of a large closet and was not at all what...

I've used them two or three times. The experience has been good overall. The closet door didn't stay fixed and his explanation was that it was old, which I thought was lame. I will use them again. They are middle of the road price wise and they generally do a good job.
