Re: Dumb Question?
If you are talking about an everyday, run of the mill, storage unit, it will most likely never fly.
1. Most units do not have access to power, so if you are running electric anything, not going to happen. I have seen people trying to run extension cords from a hallway, but that gets shutdown as soon as management finds out.
2. Most facilities do not have a light inside of the unit, the lighting comes from the hallways. Once again without power in the unit, you would have to leave the door open, so everyone coming by will know your buisness.
3. Most facilities have strict policies against storage of any kind of Haz Mat (powder, primers). If they catch you, fines, charges, you get thrown out.
4. Most facilities have strict policies against carrying out any kind of activity / work in a unit, they are to be used strictly for storage.
Working Public Safety, we deal with them on a regular basis now thanks to all of the idiots who are setting up meth labs, indoor grows, and all other kinds of illegal stuff in them.
Because of this more and more facilities are always in your buisness and run a very tight ship, so you can't do much without someone checking up on you.
There are certain facilities that will rent spaces for "limited" commercial use and occupancy, but they will usually run 2-3 times the cost of a normal unit.
Sorry, but it sounds like that you need to find a friend who you can reload with, or you need to drop some type of an out building in the backyard.
Best of Luck,
