Top 5 Moving Tips
Moving from one house to another has got to be one of the most painful things you can do to yourself.
If you don't know, my wife and I decided to sell our house a few months back and holy cow has this been stressful. The sale is going fine, its the packing and moving that is driving us crazy.
You really don't realize how much crap you can accumulate over 8 years until you have to pack it all up.
After hundreds of boxes and a handful of screaming matches over whats garbage and whats not, I'm happy to announce that we are all moved out and DONE for now (more on that soon).
After thinking about it for a bit, I, with a little help from Buzzfeed, came up with a list of moving tips that will hopefully make your move a little smoother next time.
Here are the Top 5 moving tips...
1. Pack the items you will need first in a clear plastic bin. Things like a box cutter, paper towels, trash bags, power strips, phone chargers, toilet paper, tools.
2. Wrap your dishes and glasses in clothing to save on bubble wrap.
3. Pack plates vertically, like records.
4. Keep drawers intact by covering them with Press’n Seal or Saran Wrap.
5. Take a photo of how your electronics are connected so you can remember how and where all the wires go.
Bonus tip: Keep sandwich bags close by for holding any small parts of things you have to take apart.
If you are planning a move, one last suggestion, make sure you have a lot of BOOZE!!!!
