There are many things to think about when preparing for any move. Here are a few tips that will make the task easier:

Packing
When considering packing, you may pack yourself or have professionals perform the task for you. Obviously, professional packing is best, but if you prefer to pack yourself or need to save money, here are some tips:

• Wrap dishes seperately. Nest cups and bowls. Stand plates, saucers and platters on edge.
• Don't forget you need to bring items down from the attic(s) and in from shed(s) for the movers (don't forget to mention these areas when askong for estimates.)
• Have major appliances disconnected before the movers arrive. They cannot do it for you.
• Defrost, clean, dry and deodorize all appliances.
• Pad small appliences in paper and pack in cartons.
• Secure moveable parts on appliances and stereos with tape or blocks.
• Pack lampshades in seperate cartons.
• Pack heavy items such as books in small boxes, and light items such as linen in large boxes.
• Use drawers or wardrobe boxes to move clothing. Protect the contents with paper not newspaper.
• Drain garden hose and connect ends. Tie or tape tools together.
• Label cartons with contents and assigned room.
• Be sure boxed items are well and fit snugly.
• Seal cartons securely with paper tape (Not masking tape).
