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.

On moving day, it is likely that the doors of your house will be opening and closing constantly throughout the day. If you have pets (dogs, cats, etc.) you will want to keep them confined either to a closed-off room or a kennel. This will keep them from running out of the house and causing even more chaos on an already hectic day. -- Photo by Mikhail Vasilyev on Unsplash
