Oh man I lived in an outdoor storage unit too. Exactly like yours when you open the door all the boxes and bins are at front behind is a beautiful small efficient studio unit. With TV electricity kitchen refrigerator and all my necessities lived in the storage unit for 3 years and never got caught. I finally saved enough money for a studio apartment and been happy ever since ☺️👍
@@larryc1616 well I kept the lock on the outside and all I did was pull the door all the way to the left. But since I had a unit all the way at the end of the wall at a dead end corner no cars could pass through so it was unnoticeable. You have to come very close to the door to realize it wasn't properly locked. Of course that was only at night when the office was closed and there was no one around. Early in the morning I will leave before the staff came in and I probably lock it because the staff members go around that corner to clean it up.
Bless your heart. I hope by now things have gotten better for you. I WOULD NOT allow my children’s father live in a storage garage no matter how much I hated him. You are a good man. I hope something amazing happens for you.
I wanted to give you an update on his behalf. again with his job and his children didn't know he did this but everything is great now. he saved his money and moved out. what he didn't mention is he was paying the mortgage on the house where heibed with ex and children. he kept this a secret.. only his cousin and. older brother knew. but thank you for kind words he is a very good man
If I were going to do something like that, I'd wear a headphone to watch tv and not take a chance on someone coming in there after hours to check on things, like a mgr.
That's if the manager even cares he's living there. I mean, there's a white extension cord trailing along the front of the units and into his unit. That's not exactly stealth. The manager either doesn't do daily walkthroughs of the property, or he has seen the extension cord and just doesn't care.
Stay positive brother. I did it for 4 1/2 months. Ended up moving to a different state with cheaper gasoline and got an apartment again. You sound like you got your head screwed on straight. God bless
Kinda crazy how we can manage to find big spaces to store junk for really cheap but it cost ten times that if you wanna live in the same amount of space.
We all got to do what we have to do; especially when life hands you lemons. Good for you to use whatever resources at your disposal to regroup or recover from the calamities of life. Some people take a hit and then go into a death spiral and never come out of it. With that said, I need a bigger emergency fund. Just in case.
@@Zesmas yeah and for women too... I'm seriously rethinking getting married with my bf, he's cheap with all, narcissistic, want to be served like the king, we both work and make things but he only expect to receive and not give (and I'm not talking about material stuff).
I had to move out of a place I was in for 2 years because the guy who rented the house FROM the owner, pretended to be the owner and rented out the rooms in the basement, until the owner found out, and decided we all had to move. I dont make enough to be in a building and rooms are very hard to find because homeowners have their racial and religious biases, so went to a lot of places that were renting , only to find out when I got there, that they are no longer available, so I've been in storage now for 3 months. I may just stay here to tell the truth. Its heated and a lot cheaper than rent.
@@noahriding5780 I live in Toronto. A bachelor at the time was near $1500 for a new rental and waiting lists were months, and sometimes years Ling at most places. Then, you have to go through the biases, especially with people who own homes from other countries, where they prefer to rent to folks from their country/ race/ religion. Now, it's even worse, and a study I ready said you need to make $24/ hour to live . Minimum wage is $15, so unless you live in a room or share a home with family, I don't see how folks do it either. I'm out of the storage unit now and am I'm the midst of buying property overseas. I learned a valuable lesson. Still haven't told anyone in my family of this experience though. Not sure I will.
@@kingabijah Thanks for mentioning it. What I saw a few years ago even before this recent inflation was places like Los Angeles or California people had to have 2 jobs and have their wife work just to afford an apartment. That would let them save money for maybe 5 to 10 years before they could even buy a house. That's not a good situation. Also the latinos from mexico they now take their money back to home country instead of retiring here. That to me is a signal that they know its too top heavy costs to live here. I think they are right. Some people are thinking living in Mexico might be better than here and more freedom. Its tempting to think about. If you don't have family to rely on to help you its much harder still. So I agree with everything you said. Its too hard to live now. They are putting people in captivity.
Yes the staff would mind since it's illegal and I'm sure they are trained to watch out of this kind of thing. It can cost the owner plenty if something happens after hours in a situation like that. The owners insurance wouldn't cover it if it was found that a vagrant caused the problem illegally. They owner could be sued if a fire was started accidentally after hours in one of those units and that was known, and it burned everyone else's property there.
I am sorry that is your only option. I don't know how you don't get caught. I would think they would notice that your unit is not locked and check it out
How do u get electric? I'm in Ohio thinking of doing this for a little while but there aren't any with electric in them and no way to run wires..also how do u connect to WiFi? With the workers around how r u able to keep the door open if I shut it I'm sure it would be super stuffy... climate control storage unit?
*You can purchase a portable wifi device at any electronic store like Best Buy, and in the electronics department at Walmart, or Target. For electric, you can purchase a portable generator like the one I have by EcoFlow. If they're too pricey for you, you can always buy a smaller version. However, the bigger ones tend to allow you to run your TVs, fans, etc longer before it needs to be charged. These generators can be charged by the sun using solar panels or you can take them with you to work or to the gym and charge them there. Just throw your jacket and gym bag over it to hide it, lol. Buy battery operated fans to stay cool during hot days and a small heater for colder days OR a heated blanket and socks.*
I don't know how anyone gets away with this, the people that run places like this must never check or they are as dumb as a pet rock!! This guy has a power cable running into it plus when he's in there the door would not have a lock on it!
OK here's the update.. Out and has a gorgeous apartments in Manhattan.. The wife and kids still in home but all. Is good.. Of "he" wanted to be anomonous and all.. But he did not want the kids to leave their home.. He actually. Was payi g mortgage while living in storage unit.. They are still separated and moved on with their lives.. It was sad a 20 year marriage but grew apart... His kids are older but he wanted them to stay in home to graduate high school... But truly a stand up guy...
He got his power from an extension cord plugged in to an outside outlet. How didn't they know? Thats a good question. I worked for a storage company for 5 years, and I would have spotted that extension cord leading into his unit the day it was plugged in. Obviously, they didn't perform daily walkthroughs of the property or, if they did, they just didn't care that he was living there.
Dear friend, the "Good News" is the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is, "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and He rose again the third day according to the scriptures." (1st Corinthians 15: 3-4) The "Good News" of Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life to salvation. Confess that you are a sinner in need of our Savior. Receive the truth of Jesus Christ and believe Him this very moment. Precious believer, may Father God our Creator, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit bless you and keep you abundantly now and forever! Amen! ❤️❤️❤️
Really smart setup in the front. Now I'd like to give you my thoughts about giving up the home to the wife/kids. Let me say that your needs are as important as your ex wife's. Children do need to be taken care of and that goes without saying. But your wife's needs are not more important than yours. Why should she live in a home when you don't have one? When people divorce, I believe it should be a 50/50 split of all things. Then the person who has the children living with them need to make different living arrangements. That is what is fair between the parents. If the wife made the decision to split up, how much more is she responsible to accept responsibility for the change her decision created for everyone? I would have made the wife more responsible than you did. I think it's up to her to decide where she and the children will live and not yours, since the children live with her. You are entitled to as much as she has in the divorce, irregardless of children. I'm not judging, just telling you how I would have dealt with it. I'm also not implying doing it with an attitude. I think it's just what is reasonable and responsible between two adults. So if it were my situation, I'd sell the home and split up the money from the sell. I feel the wife and children need to live differently, and not just you, because of the change in the family. Good success to you for your good heart.
Yes correct I know this man very well and his heart is big and he didn't want to sell the home so the kids would have to move.. They are older children 15 and 16 but he hates the idea of them. Ot finishing high school in that home and town.. The good news is he stayed there for 3 months and has a gorgeous place now and he made sure it was close.. He actually paid half that mortgage when he was staying in that unit... The marriage was a 22 year solid marriage but they started to grow apart couple years ago.. It was mutual.. I understand your point though.. Truly.. He felt. Like he let down his children
Some things you deal with are out of you Hands! Im sure if he had it his way and kids will still be okay. He wouldn't be in this situation! But those weren't the circumstances and this is the situation that he's in! Wicked unjust system! Welcome to the world of being a dad! Every divorce court case isn't Just! I'm Glad he thought of this. And is sustained. In between time of him figuring everything out!
@@tru-sneakerhedz579 i was really just wondering how he's doing, he sounds like a nice guy just down on his luck, you should ask him to doo an update video to serve as motivation to others in the same situation!💯😉👍
All you need to do is keep the latch in the open position and then attach your lock. When you close the door, it appears to be locked (to the untrained and unobservant eye). There's an extension cord running into the unit, so that's a telltale sign that there's someone living in there. The lock issue is small potatoes.
This is really a shame on your ex. Women shouldn't have to live in a castle while the man paying for it lives in the gutter. If this is how this country is, then those women don't deserve those things. There should also be ways of subdividing houses for people who are divorced so that they can both have a place to live and neither be put out by using modifications, etc to the housing. I get why people do this. Its a good idea actually and you do need to save money. But women should care about their men more is what I'm saying.

why you shouldn't get married
Cavs Fan23 wow, narrow minded much. We’re not all the same.
Kinda crazy how we can manage to find big spaces to store junk for really cheap but it cost ten times that if you wanna live in the same amount of space.
Supply and demand. Unfortunate but true.
Looks cozy man Awsome and good luck
I do the same, although your unit look more like home then mine.
We all got to do what we have to do; especially when life hands you lemons.
Good for you to use whatever resources at your disposal to regroup or recover from the calamities of life. Some people take a hit and then go into a death spiral and never come out of it.
With that said, I need a bigger emergency fund. Just in case.
How did you run your power feed inside the unit without other people or maintenence seeing it??
Amazing that this is what men go through and society doesn’t care.
Wow that’s smart no rent to pay but a storage fee only
bro this is scaring me away from getting married
theirs no real reason to get married. its just a unnecessary expense, and causes more problems then good.
@@Zesmas yeah and for women too... I'm seriously rethinking getting married with my bf, he's cheap with all, narcissistic, want to be served like the king, we both work and make things but he only expect to receive and not give (and I'm not talking about material stuff).

@@noahriding5780 You mean, avoid getting caught living in the units?
@@kingabijah Yes.

Nice setup
Hi my friend,
Are you still being fabulous there? It looks sooo comfy!
good on ya champ you just keep on truckin sir
off the grid living watch youtube it may give ideas
You did a good job.
Moral of the story - Marriage is a suckers game these days. There is no benefit to getting married.
thats a killer pad man, lol i wouldnt mind kickin it in there
I wonder if the staff in Public storage wouldn't mind this, since I am planning to do this too
Same
Yes the staff would mind since it's illegal and I'm sure they are trained to watch out of this kind of thing. It can cost the owner plenty if something happens after hours in a situation like that. The owners insurance wouldn't cover it if it was found that a vagrant caused the problem illegally. They owner could be sued if a fire was started accidentally after hours in one of those units and that was known, and it burned everyone else's property there.
They will mind but you cover your tracks, you don’t burn the place down and you save your fucking arse off.
Great video, thank you from Oslo.
Looks cozy bud enjoyed the vlog
Life below zero
Lucky to have an outlet to plug into lol
I didn't have a plug a tan extension chord and hid it!!
looks cozy.. do what you got to do in my brother
Hope you’re doing better now
Kudos!....Living on the street is illegal too.

Are you afraid of getting busted.
Rule #1 men NEVER EVER EVER EVER leave your home. Its your home too
Is there ever spiders
My FIRST thought!!!!! Arachnophobia!!!
How long before you were caught?
they should let peopl;e live in them if they pay for them
How bro?? What if they catch you? How do you get power and how dont they know?

Sooo uhhh where do you go to the bathroom?
Probably has a pee bottle that's not shown
Was this an outside unit?
Thank you
How are you doing now mate? Warm wishes from England
Are there air conditioning and heating in each storage shed? Thinking of getting one, but I live in the warmest state. Summer is 112+
This is what a woman's goal is after a divorce and the government helps them been there done that never again
I still don't understand where the free electricity comes from?
