Times are tough and unless you live under a rock or you’ve been adopted by the Jolie-Pitt’s, directly or indirectly you’ve been affected by the bad economy.

For some it’s meant that they’ve had to scale back on the family vacation and eat out a little less often but for others the crisis has had a more drastic affect with jobs being lost, savings being spent and retirements being pushed back indefinitely.

Being Canadian, it’s in us to offer a helping hand to anyone who needs it. Lately though this helping hand has required us to be more then just a shoulder to cry on, now more often then not it’s been necessary for us to offer a place for friends and loved ones to stay until they get back on their feet.

This being said, I feel that it is my duty to share with you some tips on how to avoid letting those close quarters cause friction. Here are my top three tips:

1. If you don’t want anyone sharing your razor, don’t leave it in the shower. Enough said.

2. If your guests are coming with kids and or animals, put your Fabergé Eggs in a safe place.

3. Even if they say that they will only be bringing a few items with them, play it safe and rent them a self storage unit from LightHouse Self Storage. Trust me, you don’t want your hallways, closets and cupboards overflowing with your guests possessions.

Whether you’re looking to store only a few items or you need space to store a 5+ bedroom house, LightHouse Self Storage has the unit for you. Here are some fast facts:

- The self storage units at 266 Edinburgh Drive in Moncton, New Brunswick are under 24 hour video surveillance.
