GET MOVING THE BEST MOVING TIPS Pinterest HAS TO OFFER We know that moving is a huge pain and can make for a very stressful time in your life. But having a plan, along with some easy tips and tricks can help ease you through it. GET ORGANIZED SCHEDULE START EARLY LOAN DOCUMENTS Moving is a time-consuming pro- cess. Nothing will make your move more stressful than running out of time. So start early so that you can go at your own pace. INVENTORY DONE DAra BEFORE MOVE Emety ie mak ce cte ya and oven CHECKLIST Detost rece CREATE A MOVING BINDER Drain Use this binder to keep track of everything-all your estimates, your receipts, a checklist, a schedule, and any important documents that you might need in the move. FIND A CREW P///8IS RIS There is more than one way to move. Depending on the distance of the move, the size of your home and your budget, you might choose to move yourself, gather friends and family, or hire a mover to do the job, either way more hands make light work. GET PACKED FRAGILE DISHES CUPS BLENDER MASTER BEDROOM CUT THE COST ON THE SUPPLIES HEAVY POTS PANS LAMP BOOKS A lot of stores will give you their inventory boxes for FREE. Call around. KITCHEN OFFICE Don't pack your blankets, sheets and towels. They are great to use as padding between large items and for wrapping furniture and decor. BEDDING TOILETRIES Wrap your breakables in clothing to save on bble wrap. For extra pad- ding, pack your glasses and stemware in clean socks. DROOM KIDS BATHROOM LABEL EVERYTHING You might remember what is in each box now, but things get a little hazy after the move. Make sure to label your boxes with exactly what is inside them. This will prevent you from having to open everything looking for that one item. Remember to label all of the SIDES of the boxes, not the tops. This way, you'll be able to identify them even if they're stacked. MASTER BEDROOM COLOR CODE BY ROOM KITCHEN Use different colored markers, stickers, or tape to label boxes for each room. Using colors makes it easy to spot boxes for a specific room even if they don't stay together during the move. KIDS BATHROOM CUT DOWN ON BOXES Cut down on boxes by making all of your baskets, laundry bins, hampers, and suitcases work for you. Use the wheeled suitcases for heavy things like books. GET SMART THIS SIDE UP "FRAGILE" FRAGILE Use brightly colored "fragile" stickers or a red marker to indicate all boxes that contain fragile goods. HANDLE WITH CARE PROTECT YOUR GLASS Make a masking-tape X across mir- FRAGILE rors and framed artwork. While this technique won't prevent shattering, it will help absorb shock and hold the glass in the frame should the item be dropped. NOT TOO HEAVY 50LB MAX Try to keep a per-box weight of 50 pounds or less; it makes moving a lot easier. A general rule to remember on carton size -- the heavier the item, the smaller the carton. Pack heavier items toward the bottom of the box and lighter items on top. WRAP YOUR FURNITURE When you are moving anything with doors or drawers, wind a few layers of plastic wrap around the item to secure it. This eliminates the need for tape, which can damage the surfaces, and helps prevent scratches. TAKE INVENTORY AND Make a list of all of your things as you pack and cat- egorize them room by room. This will come in handy should any of your items get damaged in the move. GET MOVING! With these tips and tricks you are ready to tackle any move from the smallest of apartments to the largest houses.
