Tired of this pair of tanks

[letterboy]

During our marriage we would consult each other and do weeks of homework to replace a broken $300 microwave but when it came to dive gear the only questions on the table if any, were do we get both units at once or test one first and get the 2nd later.
Not bragging just recognizing the problem.

@letterboy storage units are not for us... I already feel bad about not using what I have. Plus I'm sure the items there will also multiply. Sounds dangerous.

The photo below shows what my husband built in the garage for the gear.
The floor drawers have wheels underneath and are big enough to hide a medium size adult (literally)View attachment 603594

We thought the 2 floor drawers for the "old stuff" and 3-4 of the smaller drawers for consumables and spares of the gear we use every weekend.... Ha! Everything has dive gear, plus some in the guest room and shed.
Again... Not bragging just facing the issue.

Wow. That is awesome looking!

Forgive me, I assumed by your post you had an over abundance of stuff... You have lots of room for activities in that room. We broke down and got a storage unit for our camping gear after our tent got ruined in the shed outside and we don't have enough space inside, no garage. It is easy to forget stuff in there...

Problem with storage units, for me, is that you have to pay a monthly fee. Time passes far more quickly than I tend to plan for. So somewhere in the future, you realize that all the value of your stored goods has evaporated and you are now paying to store worthless items. That is the purely financial take on storage units.

IMHO, set the best of the best aside (or sell) and press on with your liquidation as you have been doing. Either way, it makes for a great thread!

I wish I had that much empty space....

And that organized. I can't let my wife see this picture of what a gear room can look like.

Yes, I know it is a garage. I didn't think people in Florida park their cars in the garage like we do up here. So it is just another room.

Belated reply To OP:
@Ana : On the bright side, since you do know what you are tired off AND know what to do about it, you are way ahead of many of us!

@Luis H - vehicles haven't been in the garage for 18 years...

Like I said, I'm jealous of the space (as shown before) - this is maybe 75% of it, and the compressor is not here in this picture...

And work bench/tools/parts/hardware is elsewhere too....

bottom two shelves in the lower right of this picture is the only non-scuba stuff... and likely moved elsewhere to accommodate..

That's because you live almost in canada,it's cold up there.

Get a storage unit

Yeah, then you pay $100 a month to store crap that is worth $100.

That's only if it's crap....

If you have good stuff it's a much different equation...
