Planning your moving boxes and moving supplies
Planning Your Moving Boxes and Moving Supplies
Get a pen and paper and write everything down to coordinate your move. Create a simple record keeping system on paper or on a spreadsheet in your computer for print out before the move. Record all your moving boxes with a number and list the contents of each and every moving box as you pack. Remember to keep your packing supplies in one place including your moving boxes content worksheet for less stressful moving. Keep your contents in your moving boxes very specific for insurance purposes and for better organizing.
Moving Boxes madness made simple
Yes, I??ve been there. It seems like a piece of cake till you get to it and then becomes a whole cake, I mean a whole big cake!! But don??t worry the help is right here.
If you are reading this that means you are doing pre planning in your moving venture and that??s good. You just need a moving guide to ease your planning efforts and here you go:
1. Master-List, Starting right now try to write everything even the things you think you will remember no matter what. To make it simple create and print a page, a master list, from your computer with numbers and space to write whatever comes to mind, don??t forget to include the phone numbers in your notes that you don??t have to stop and search for different phone numbers
2. Central Moving Location, In a corner put a box as your MOVING-DEPOT that you can put all moving supplies along with your master list
3. Packaging Supplies - Rule of thumb is you will not have enough supplies and in the middle of move you are either running around to get more supplies or cutting corners in your packing, which in turn it will probably cost you more when your precious items breaks. Make sure to include heavy duty large plastic containers, along your moving boxes, for items in your refrigerator, freezer, etc?? Most Moving box kits contain all the necessary packing supplies such as moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape and marker to start with your basic moving kit.
4. Wardrobe Boxes, Don??t forget to buy ??wardrobe boxes??, they are worth the price. These wardrobe boxes are also ideal to store blankets, pillows and comforters as well as hanging your wardrobe. Trust me it beats unnecessary ironing once perfectly pressed cloths can be pulled right out of the box and hung. Especially when you are tired after moving.
5. How to pack a wardrobe box, a few days before your move double up some shopping bags and fill them with your drawers items such as belts, sweaters and jeans. On moving day, put some of the shopping bags in the bottom of the wardrobe boxes and then hang your cloths. Pack hanging item tight enough that items won??t move around and fall off the hangers. Cover the shoulder of clothing with dry-cleaning bags, add sweaters or purses on top, this way you??ll have fewer boxes, and all your closet items stay together during unpacking.
6. Weight a Minute!, Now that you have all the boxes you consider the weight of the box and don??t stuff it. This might save you couple of boxes but it will either break under the weight or will make it difficult to impossible to pick up.
7. Boxes at your doorsteps. Do not buy moving boxes from moving-storage places as you can easily order all kinds of boxes that you might need on line from www.cajasymudanzas.com, delivered to your doorsteps at wholesale pricing. It can??t get better than this, pick moving box kits or bundle of boxes you need for your move and save up to 40% on your move.
8. Color coordinate, it??s easy just pick a color for each room and either mark the boxes with that color or apply colored stickers to them. This will make it easy for movers to put all alike items together in your new place organized ready to unpack.
9. Signs are easy, use them, Make large signs to indicate where to store the boxes, place the piano and other bulk items; and put them on the walls of each room in your new location.
10. Keep your stuff together, no matter you, your spouse or the movers, insist in keeping things together. Tape all loose items to the body of a larger piece of the same item, and just in case, create a ??Part Box??, secure all small parts along with a description in small plastic bags and deposit them in the ??Part Box??. Keep this box in a place that is easy to find when you need them.
11. Pack in Advance, pack, pack and pack in advance and have less time consuming tasks when it comes time to move. Pack your seasonal cloths, your extra radio, TV, flashlight along with any other items that there is no need for days ahead of moving date. This could include all extra kitchen utensils, cooking books.
12. Separate Cleaning Supplies: leave a good mix of cleaning supplies to clean while movers empty each room and another package for the new location to clean when moving boxes put away. Vacuum and clean the new location before moving, this will make it easier to put the heavy, bulky items. Vacuum each room as soon as the movers empty the room.
13. Use Your Luggage, days before moving date, gather all empty luggage and duffle bags on your bed and fill them with clothing, sheets, towels, books, magazines and paper goods. This would make easy to find the suitcase that holds your sweaters or undergarments.
14. Keep Important Documents with you these documents are as important as any other precious and valuable items keep them together and in a safe place away from movers or any other strangers.
15. Check Your Homeowner Insurance Policies, you??ll will be amazed to know both your new and old homeowner policies will cover venues that no one had disclosed to you. These are items such as theft, fire, loss and damages while you are moving. Read your policy, it will worth your time. Keep your policies with all other legal and important documents in a safe place.
16. Family Members Personal Items, make one large, brightly colored plastic box for each family member, try to match the color to the one that used for moving their individual rooms or write their name with different colors. Ask each family member to fill their boxes with items that they will need in first couple of days of the move to new home. These could include a towel, a set of bedding sheet, a nightlight, a travel cosmetic case and so on.
