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.

Tip Of The Day

The Beast

In many homes, there is one piece that is a nightmare to move. It’s big, it’s awkward, it’s heavy…no one wants to touch it. The key to a piece like this is (a) to get as many hands on it as you can, and (b) to take your time. If you try to do it by yourself or if you rush the process, there is a much higher risk of damage and/or injury.

Wood Floors

If you are moving into (or out of) a home that has wood floors, be very cautious on moving day. Wood floors scratch incredibly easily, and something as simple as sliding a box on a wood floor can cause damage. To help reduce the risk of damage, lay blankets down on the wood floor to create a layer between the objects and the floor.

Be sure to plan your move in a way that allows some flexibility for your moving date. Unpredictable things, such as bad weather, always have the potential to arise. Having flexibility built into your plan will greatly reduce the stress and chaos that these unpredictable events can often cause. (Photo by Jonas Kaiser on Unsplash)
