TIPS TO MAKE MOVING HOUSES LESS CUMBERSOME

 

 

Shifting houses can be one of the most exhausting and annoying tasks anyone could do, but luckily for you, here are a few tips to make that process easier! 

1. 1. Call the utility and moving companies as soon as you find out you’re moving. This not only gets it out of your way, but it makes last minute hassle considerably less, and all the dates are pre-decided so you have an organized plan. A great moving company based in LA is https://royalmovingco.com.
   2. Set a budget: moving can get pretty expensive sometimes, so it’s always better to have a decided budget that you can stick to for all your cost issues, and leave a small margin, for any activities or needs that go up the price hill. This will help you save money, time and hassle at the last minute, and help you be more organized.

 

• Get rid of useless items! Most importantly, you need to de-clutter and cleanse your home during moving, so use this opportunity to get rid of stuff you have no need for, and either donate them, or even better use them in a garage sale to get a little extra cash that you can utilize in your moving budget. Any bulky furniture items that you don’t need anymore, or clothes, books, and tools can be used in donations that can benefit the rest of the community and you as well!

• How to pack: instead of emptying out dresses drawers, leave the items in them, and just wrap all the drawers separately. Do this especially to save time, and if you dresser is not that heavy altogether, just wrap the entire dresser up at once so that in your new home, you simply have to unpack the covering, not all the items inside it. Use suitcases to pack things that aren’t so easily transported in boxes, such as books and heavy serving dishes.

 

Pack a bag with the items you’ll need such as documents, medications, chargers, basic toiletries, a couple changes of clothes, etc. take a picture of the back of your TV so you know how to re-install it at your new home. Use color coding for boxes with similar items such as blue for bathroom items, grey for laundry etc. 

 

• On the day of the move: the best thing is to be completely wrapped up 1 day before moving day. Use sleeping bags, or mattresses for the night before, and the next day use help from your moving company to get all the items transferred to the other home. It is much easier to keep track of things when all your items are done a day before so you have a bit of space to regroup if something doesn’t go as planned. 

• Lastly, when you start unpacking: give yourself a deadline, or schedule a housewarming party based on how much time you’ll need to unpack the items. This will give you a consistent schedule and a set goal 

 

Happy moving!
