14 Tips to Make Moving Day Less Painful
It’s that time of year again for a lot of us. Here are some
tips to make your moving day less painful, both mentally
and physically.
Lighten the load. Dispose of as much as possible
before you start to pack. Donate to charity, have
a yard sale or throw out.
Use the same size boxes. They will be easier to
stack both while you are packing, and in the truck.
No more spending time trying to figure out how to
get all those different sized boxes stacked so they
won’t fall over.
Use smaller boxes. Then you won’t have big heavy
boxes that will wear you out fast. You, and your
moving team will be able to keep going without
struggling.
Use a good quality tape and tape gun. The couple
extra bucks will save you tons of frustration.
A couple of wardrobe boxes are always a good
idea. They keep your clothes clean and ready to
hang. Plus, you can throw boots, shoes, and
purses in the bottom.
Before wrapping your figures in newspaper, put
them in a plastic shopping bag. It will keep them
clean. A paper towel will work with smaller items.
Always write the room the box goes into on the
outside of the box so your movers or helpers can
deposit the boxes without you having to play
traffic cop all day.
Write a description of what’s in the box so you
can find things easily. If you are using recycled
boxes (always a good idea), tape a sheet of
paper on the outside to make a nice clean
readable label.
When packing clothes, sheets, towels and such,
put a plastic garbage bag in the box first, then
place the items in the plastic bag. This works for
pots and pans
too. Then you won’t have to rewash
them when you unpack. Throw a fabric softener
sheet into the bag of clothes and linens before
you close it up to keep them smelling nice.
Pack the items you will need the first night in
separate boxes and label them so you can get to
these things right away without having to go
through 20 boxes trying to find things when
you’re already exhausted.
Make sure the beds get set up, and other heavy
items are in place. Other things can be moved
around later.
Old fashioned as it may be – let the guys worry
about the furniture. Take the girls and let them
help you get the cabinets and drawers washed
out and your kitchen set up. Then, once the truck
is empty - everyone can easily sit down, relax,
and have some pizza and beer and conversation.
If you packed well, the clothes can go right in the
drawers. The sheets and towels can go right into
the linen closet. Hanging clothes can go right into
the closets. Depending on how ambitious you are,
the entertainment center can be set up and books
put in bookcases.
Take a break - the rest can wait for a little while……
Rome wasn't built in a day.
