Youve chosen a new home, selected a mover, and now comes the task of packing for the move.
Heres a list of the materials youll need to pack efficiently:
Boxes:
Divided boxes like liquor boxes are great for glasses and stemware.
Your mover can also provide you with boxes especially made for moving.
Start as far ahead of time as you can.
Its best to pack a room at a time so that you can keep everything thing together that belongs together.
Place the heaviest items on the bottom of the box and the more delicate things on top.
Rewrap that group in more paper and seal with the plastic tape.
Try to keep small kitchen appliances like the toaster, crock pot, etc., all together rather than mixing them with other items.
(Remember to do this for salt and pepper shakers also!)
This includes items like aerosol spray cans, gasoline, and paint thinners.
You dont need to wrap toys, books and shoes individually.
If youre a pet owner who is considering a move to an apartment there are certain things you must be keep in mind.
Dogs:
If you own a large dog, apartment living is probably not for you.
Many times your dog only causes a disturbance because its lonely or bored.
Since most complexes dont have areas where its safe for your dog to run free, this is as much a matter of your dogs safety as it the protection of other tenants.
If your pet is discovered you may be evicted and/or fined.
This is intended to cover any damage your dog or cat does to the premises, as well as additional cleaning that may be necessary when you leave the apartment.
You can also enlist the help of a local realtor or relocation specialist who usually have lists of pet-friendly apartments.
Happy apartment hunting!
