Moving Tips

1 to 2 Months Before

Calculate and budget for supplies and moving expenses. Determine any moving supplies you will need, such as boxes, tape, labels, blankets, etc. Have a yard sale or donate unwanted items to charity. Begin using food and cleaning supplies on hand. Pick up supplies and make your “to-do” list. Reserve storage space, if necessary.

1 to 2 Weeks Before

Pack all valuables to move personally. Pack all nonessentials and label boxes to unload quickly. Drain fluids from your power tools and lawn mower. Clean and empty appliances including your washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Prepare a bag for the road including water, snacks, personal care items.

The Day You Are Moving

Have drinks and snacks available all day. Make sure fragile items are handled safely. Make sure all possessions are packed. Have tools, rope/straps, and spare moving supplies available. If a professional moving service is used, avoid having too many people at your residence who may get in the way of the movers.

When packing up your belongings, it is best to keep items from different rooms in different boxes; you do not want to have boxes containing things from multiple rooms. This will make your packing experience more organized and efficient while also making the unpacking process a much less chaotic affair. -- Photo by Karolina Grabowska from Pexels

It is always a good idea to have a bag or box set aside for anything you might need access to during the moving process. For example, things like a toothbrush, contact solution, medication, a change of clothes, etc., are things that you will not want to have buried in the bottom of some unknown box. -- Photo by Hana Brannigan from Pexels

Disconnecting the Washing Machine

By Robinson dos Santos|2021-01-18T12:50:20-05:00January 18th, 2021|

If you are taking your washing machine with you to your new home, you will need to disconnect it before you are able to move it. However, it is crucial that you turn off the water before you disconnect it! Where the washer is connected to the wall, there should be a couple of valves for you to turn to shut the water off. If you do not do this prior to the disconnection, you will have water all over your floor, which will add even more chaos to your moving day. -- Image by Pete Linforth from Pixabay
