MOvemewithcare.com: More MOVING TIPS for the upcoming 2008 season

By: Mover

Several steps to follow when moving

Step 1: Pack One Room At A Time
" Tackle one room at a time and put things in boxes with a view to where they'll be in the new house. For example, items that were originally placed in your bedroom drawer should be placed in the garage. Don't tape your boxes until they are ready to be placed in the truck. There can always be last minute change and you'll need to add more items in the box.
" You can sell any items you no longer need in a yard sale before your move. "EVERYTHING is for sale" as everyone knows, so you might as well make a few bucks. Unsold items can be given to charity, they will definitely appreciate it. And remember donating goods is a tax credit.
" Number the rooms of the new house and make sure that all boxes are numbered, depending on what boxes goes where. If your kids room have several boxes, make sure to number them so the movers will place them in the right location in the house. You will not need to open all boxes and find out where your kids diapers are.
" Unfortunately, it is common for movers to be tempted to keep in their position some of your belongings, especially if the box title mention: "Mom jewelry box". Avoid mentioning this on the box. Find new titles which only you and your family members knows what's the content.
" Movers charge by the hour, so pack and move as much as you can to somewhere close to the door that they will be using to remove your contents. Remember to leave a clear path, in case certain items need to be put at the front of the truck.
" Avoid placing flammable goods in boxes, propane tanks, kitchen cleaning products. If in the truck and spills during transit, it can damages all your furniture. Purchase a big sealed plastic container that will keep these items secure from spilling.

" Step 2: Important Documents
" Insurance Papers, Birth Certificates, Stock Certificates, fine collectibles and sensitive materials kept on computer disks are far more important to you than a box of dishes. We will advise you to pack them yourself, and put them in your car. You will be sure that it will surely arrive at destination.
" Items such as these can be very susceptible to water damage, fire damage or spillage. If these paper are valuable to you, you will need to protect them adequately.

Step 3: Make them available quickly
" It takes time and patience to unpack arrived at destination. However, you will need to make some items available to you when arriving on your new site. Make sure you have paper plates, cups and plastic eating utensils, napkins and paper towels so that your family can have something to eat without needing to do unpacking first.
" Have handy a can opener on hand, scissors, utility knife, a pot for cooking, dish soap, trash bags, a few towels and a quick meal to defrost and put into the microwave.
" Take a cooler along with you. A good-sized cooler with a couple of pounds of ice can keep your food at the right temperature for a good day or so, especially in a long distance haul.
" Take along instant beverages such as instant coffee, tea and bottled water.
" Don't forget the basic toiletries - and always have toilet paper!
