What's the best
way to prepare for a move?
Four weeks before moving |
|
| Decide what you want to take, what
you want to throw out, and what you want to donate to
charity or sell. |
| Start using up frozen food and staples.
Don't buy any more than is necessary before moving. |
| Start planning your trip. Make airline
reservations. Book hotels and rental cars. |
| Arrange for important school, medical,
financial, and legal records to be transferred. |
|
| Three weeks before moving |
|
| Arrange to have your pets transported
or boarded. Start preparing your plants for the move. |
| Get back any items you have lent (and
give back any items you have borrowed). Pick up any items
that are being repaired. |
| Dispose of flammable items such as
paint, aerosol cans, and cleaning fluids. |
| Send change of address information
to the post office and other businesses. |
|
| Two weeks before moving |
|
| Schedule a date for a service firm
to disconnect and prepare the appliances you are moving.
|
| Start packing non-essential items.
|
| Arrange for a babysitter for moving
day. |
| Start planning to disconnect utilities.
|
| Draw up a floor plan for your new
home and start planning your furniture arrangement. (It
makes moving in twice as easy.) |
|
|
| One week before moving |
|
| Finish packing suitcases and basic
essentials. Make sure valuable documents, currency, and
jewellery are in a safe and easily accessible place. |
| Drain garden hoses, lawn mowers, and
other machinery. |
| Defrost and dry the fridge and freezer.
Don't forget to empty the defrost water pan. |
| Take down items such as curtain rods,
shelves, light fixtures, and mirrors that you are taking
with you. |
| Dismantle large power tools, such
as lathes and grinders. |
| Make sure all of your important papers,
keys, medications, and plane tickets are available for
the trip. |
| If you are travelling a long distance
by car, you may want to have the car serviced. |
|
| Packing day |
|
| Leave a clear workspace for the packers. |
| Identify fragile and valuable items,
items you are taking with you, and items being left for
the new owners. |
|
| Moving-out day |
|
| Plan to stay home until the moving
van has left. |
| Tour the house with the van operator
during inventory. Sign the bill of lading. Confirm your
new address and delivery date. Check destination contact
phone numbers. |
| Do a final check for overlooked items.
Make certain windows and doors are locked, lights are
turned off, utilities are discontinued or turned off,
and the keys are transferred. |
|
| Moving-in day |
|
| Try to get to your new home the day
before the moving van arrives. Make sure the utilities
are connected. Take another look to see if where you want
your furniture to go is correct. |
| When the mover arrives, check items
unloaded against the inventory. Make arrangements for
installation of appliances. Confirm unpacking requirements.
