Start by making a list of all items to be removed. Leave two spaces aside from each item, one for the room destination of each box and one for the number that will be on that box. As you pack, remember to mark the room, the contents, and the number on each box. Keep your list readily available for use as you are packing
When should we start packing?
Packing for a move can be done months in advance. Anything not needed until after your move can be packed now such as kitchen items and out of season clothes.
How should we move all our clothes?
Chests of drawers can be left alone as each full drawer can be moved individually. Hanging clothes can be moved in wardrobe cartons obtained from your moving company. Clothes can be taken right from the closet to the carton. Consider organizing your new closets now. Have your closet firm meet with you in your current residence as well as in your future home. An inventory of your present wardrobe is essential to making the most of your new closet space. Newly organized closets can be installed in your new home prior to your move.
We are renting a van. How should we go about loading it?
Put the heaviest items in the front of the truck. Sofas and mattresses should go on the sides of the truck. Remember to rent a van that fits your needs. The tighter your van is packed, the safer all of your items will be.
Now that you are starting fresh, organize your new home once. Don’t try to unpack and organize everything in one day. Enjoy your new home!
