Some Quick Tips
Moving can be a pain. Here are a couple quick tips that a friend told me that has been helpful.
1. Color and Label
This makes it so much easier to tell where things go when putting it into the new house. You don’t end up putting the kitchenware in the bedroom by accident and then have to dig through several boxes to before finding and then dragging them into the kitchen. That can be quite annoying.
2. Pack Ahead of Time
I’ve been slowly moving stuff from my current home to the new place as I have time. I’d have never been able to have such a leisurely moving experience if I didn’t simply pack stuff ahead of time. This is particularly true for less vital things that you don’t use everyday, like out of season clothes or the spare television. Of course have overlapping rental times also helps.
3. Know Someone with a Pickup
God a little pickup truck is a must for moving. Things like the bed, television, tables and chairs are tough to fit into a car without taking multiple extra trips or any trip at all if these items don’t fit in your rig. If you don’t know someone with a pickup I’d suggest you meet one soon. Maybe you can find someone on Myspace or Plenty of Fish or something, hehe.
