Moving from one home to another is something that most people experience at least once in their lifetime. The younger generations are even more transient not only changing homes but moving from various states and even different countries in their lifetime. All of this moving is exhausting and is quite a big event that can be made more simple if you are organized and plan ahead to get everything packed up and moved to the new destination. This article will mainly give suggestions for those that are doing the move on their own by renting a truck and packing up and moving themselves. It will mention ways to pack things up or how to move big heavy things like a piano using a piano dolly or piano dollies.
The packing up of personal treasures can actually begin well before you move and are getting ready to put your current home up for sale. Because a home sells faster when all personal items clutter is removed, this can be all packaged up for the move later. One good idea to pack up all of those framed photos and to make your linen closet appear less stuffed and more organized is to use some extra sheets and towels to wrap up those breakable frames and put them in a box for storage. This eliminates the use for packing paper and helps your home show better to prospective buyers.
Another great money saving suggestion is to visit your local wine shop or liquor store and ask them for leftover boxes that they have. They will be happy to unload them to you for free and these smaller and very sturdy boxes are the best ones for heavy items like books or photo albums. These too can be packed up ahead of time prior to your moving day. Basically, all items that are not used on an everyday basis, can be packed up as soon as you know you will be moving. If it is springtime and you are moving in the summer, pack up all of those winter clothes that you will not need.
One of the largest tasks in packing up everything are the dishes and glassware. Moving boxes and packing paper can be purchased at home improvement stores or moving places like U-haul where you will rent your moving vehicle. Be sure to not over pack breakables and glass and use a lot of paper around each piece to avoid it breaking.
For the large furniture items, it is recommended to purchase those sliders that can be placed under the legs of big pieces so they can slide across any type of flooring. Get the help of some strong friends on moving day as well and use a dolly for large pieces or appliances. Most people also underestimate how much stuff they have so make sure to rent a large enough truck so you only have to load and unload it one time.
