Get It Packed
- Get *clean* boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, scissors, rope, furniture pads.
Don’t get used boxes from food stores! They can have roach eggs embedded in them, which will transfer to your personal belongings.
- Pack a separate box with valuables, medicines, birth certificate and passport.
- Pack early anything you won’t need to use before your move.
- Save space and money: your towels and linens make great packing material for your breakables.
- Leave clothing in drawers.
- Take apart beds and tables, put the hardware in a ziploc bag and tape it to them.
- Wrap paintings and mirrors in blankets.
Get It Moved
- Pick up truck
- Load truck with heavy items first
- Put all boxes in appropriate room in new home
- Do final clean of old place after last load is unloaded
- Check all cabinets/closets for remaining items
