Moving is such a busy time...
there is a lot to do in a relatively short period of time.
So, here is our top 10 things to remember when moving....
10. Change your address...this may sound obvious, but did you remember your magazine subscriptions, credit card bills, driver's license, etc?
9. Insurance...Not only do you need to insure your new home, you will need to cancel the insurance on your old home.
8. Utilities... make sure you have not only scheduled a disconnection of service for your old address, but make sure you arrange for new service at the new home...there is nothing worse than trying to move in with no water and electricity.
7. Order new checks....yes those checks have your old address.
6. Check the attic. Remember all those things you stowed away in the attic or hidden cubby...it is time to dig them out an pack them up.
5. Tape the bottom of your boxes...there is nothing worse than your personal belongings all over the lawn of your new home before you are even moved in.
4. Mark each box with which room it goes to and what is in it...you think you will remember where to find your coffee mug, but in that pile of boxes...who knows!
3. Pack a "Tool Box" with all the necessities for moving day... a box cutter to open boxes, cleaning supplies, trash bags, toilet paper, etc
2. Arrange for child care on moving day. They may think they want to be there, but the little ones will be bored quick.
1. Don't forget the money! You will need a certified check and your driver's license at closing, so make sure they are not packed away!
Happy Moving!
