Believe me, seeing that empty unit was like heaven. The whole thing was the worst moving experience of my life. So many things went wrong with the whole process that I didn't even mention in the post.
A day before the trailer arrived here, I went to the local storage place where I rented a unit to ask them where I could have them park the trailer and the guy looked at me crazy and said "You can't park that in here!" --- BUT a month earlier I had called several times to confirm that I could park it there. It turned into a big fiasco. I could write a whole other post about it... haha
I once went to help somebody move all of their stuff out of their storage unit and when we got there, the place had been taken over by stink bugs. So that was pretty miserable, having to deal with bugs flying all over me non-stop (I don't particularly like bugs much.) However, even that doesn't sound as bad as what you had to do and go through pain-wise.
Oh man, that sucks! The only gross thing I had to deal with was that a container of motor oil had a hole and slowly leaked over several years getting all over several boxes and the floor. Was pretty nasty. You never know what kind of crap you will find after opening a years old unit.
