Moving Down The Street
If you move across the country or down the street no one looks forward to this task. Some of us get tired thinking about it. Moving can be made smooth by being one step ahead and having everything to pack ready for the day you start until you return the rental truck. Timing important the longer you have the truck the more money it will cost you. You can start two weeks in advance by separating everything room to room. Have all your supplies and professional movers blankets ready as well. Many of the supplies you need you can find at the local dollar store for half the price. Check around at the local lumber yard stores in your area for moving blankets or better yet see if you have any at home not being used.
They can be washed and used again. Pack as much as you can several days before and secure the boxes well with tape. Spills are not a good thing in the middle of a move. Focus on glass and double wrap with blankets or put between card board and tape with boxes and wrap with blankets. Slide them upright between to pieces of furniture inside the truck. Do not feel confident when you are only moving a block or two away, because if you have to hit the brakes you could with stand some serious damages. Make sure the furniture and heavy boxes are all up front of the truck so there will be no chance of sliding from inside the truck. A short move will go quite easy if you make sure everything is stable as if you were going across the country. With that in mind take your time and the move will go as planned. And everyone will feel better after the move is complete.
