START EARLY ! GET RID OF
CLUTTER AND LEAVE IT BEHIND ! 1. Start packing surplus items. Pack anything you will not need before the move. Begin in the basement or garage. 2. Dispose of old clothes, outgrown toys and unused household items. 3. Have a garage sale or donate to the local charity. 4. AVOID MOVING ANYTHING YOU DON'T REALLY NEED. 5. Pack one room at a time. Label each box with the room name. When unloading, the movers will know where to take it in the new home. 6. Pack all items that will be needed immediately at the new house in the same box. Mark that box to indicate it is a priority. Perhaps with a large letter "P" for Priority. Be sure to pack some bed linens in Priority box for easy access for that first night.. 7. Find someone to watch the kids on moving day. 8. Enlist all the help you can. Solicit family and friends. More hands mean quicker results and less work for all. Perhaps offer a "thank you" pizza party when the job is done. 9. If hiring a moving company, be sure to find someone with a good reputation. It is worth the investment. 10. Pack a small box of basic tools and keep it handy. You will need these for setting up furniture, etc at the new house. 11. Pack a suitcase as though you are going on a three day vacation. Clothes, toiletries, etc. This will give you the essentials you need for the first few days without searching for items packed away. 12. DO NOT PACK THE BOXES TOO HEAVY. 13. Place all small parts of items that are taken apart in a plastic bag and tape to the item for easy re-assembly.
