What is the easiest way to move and pack a 4 bedroom house? |
Travel Info What is the easiest way to move and pack a 4 bedroom house? Travel Tips I have moved more often than I like to admit. The first thing that you want to do is buy a big garbage bag. I will throw away anything that I have not used in a year. Go to the first room and go into any closets and empty them. Decide if it will be of value in your new home or just take up space. If it is just a space taker, get rid of it. Set up boxes for things you want to keep such as sentimental items like pictures, albums or something your kids made that you can't part with. Box all of those things together. After you have emptied closets, take down pictures from your walls and put them in one of your empty closets if you don't have boxes for them. This will keep them safe on moving day. Pack up "good dishes" in boxes or anything breakable and put them in your empty closets also for safe keeping on moving day. Kitchen items are next. Keep out the bare essentials for the days before moving day. Keep a few plastic glasses, plates and silverware for your family. A couple of pots and pans and pack the rest. Keep a sharp knife, can opener and baggies and aluminim foil for cooking. Throw away tupperware with no lids and those items that have been in your drawers and cupboards that you haven't used in years. Ask yourself if you really want to unpack each item into your new home. Leave cleaning items under your sink for move out day. Pack a box of "Emergency" items for your new house. Put toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen towel, plastic cups, snacks, cleaning items paper plates and phone numbers for local services in this box. When you arrive at your new home, you will have these items with you. On moving day take the sheets off of the beds and wash them and dry them while the beds and other items are being loaded up. When you get to your new house, make your beds before you do anything. If you are exhausted at the end of the day, you have a bed to fall into. Good luck on your move!!! Others Do it 1 room at a time (and label the boxes with 'living room' or '_______'s bedroom'). Burn it? Hire it done. If you can't do either one of these, just start with the small stuff and work your way up. I like to lable the rooms on the outside of the box, so that when you get there, you can put the boxes in the correct rooms. Throw away, sell and give away everything that isn't beautiful or useful and pack the rest carefully. That's it. I've done this so trust me when I say that you first need to get rid of stuff that you don't use, and stuff that you don't really want anymore, and stuff that will not survive a move. After that, bring in the boxes and start packing, room by room. Mark outside of each box with ID of room it's going to. Also pick up some of that tape they have at packing centers (U-Haul, Home Depot) that is used to seal boxes but it also has the name of the room the box is going to. |
