I understand the building itself can flex a little instead of being completely rigid, but everything inside it seems way less flexible. Elevator rails have to stay aligned, pipes connect through dozens of floors and huge glass panels can't exactly bend much.

I was watching videos about skyscraper engineering and this part confused me. When the top of a building moves in strong wind, are all those systems actually moving with it somehow, or do engineers build special gaps and connections that let different parts move separately?

My uncle passed away and left me a storage unit in Phoenix that he'd been paying $180/month on for years. Inside was a solid mix of stuff, power tools, a pressure washer, camping gear, a couple of folding tables and chairs, a portable generator. Good quality things, just more than I had any use for personally.

Was telling a friend I was thinking about selling it all and he just goes "why not rent it out instead" and it kind of clicked immediately. Hadn't even crossed my mind before that.

Spent 2 weekends photographing and listing everything on Facebook Marketplace as rentals instead of sales. Tools to people doing one off DIY jobs, the generator to people doing outdoor events, camping gear for weekends away, tables and chairs for backyard parties.

Average month sits around $580 to $640 after the storage unit fee. Had a chunk of that saved up by month 3 without really noticing it just sitting in a separate account.

Most people are completely normal, just want something for a few days and return it no problem. One guy brought back the pressure washer with a cracked fitting and played dumb about it, but thats been 1 out of maybe 35 transactions so the ratio is pretty good.
