Tips For Moving

Blog

If you are going to be moving, then there are some steps you can take that will help to make your move go smoother. Read the information offered in this article to learn about some of the things you can do to make your move easier on you and your household.

Hold a yard sale

You should set all the things you no longer want to the side and save them up until you find you have a lot of items in your pile. Once you have enough things to make a nice-sized yard sale, you should pick a weekend and set it up. Not only is this going to be a great way for you to get rid of the things you no longer want so you don't have to move them, but it is also a good way for you to earn money you can put toward your moving expenses. When you have a yard sale, you should follow these tips:

  • Make signs on bright posterboard all around the neighborhood
  • Put an ad advertising it in the local paper
  • Display small items on tables
  • Put prices on everything so people don't have to hunt you down for every price they want
  • Only put out clean items that are in good condition
  • Put big ticket items near the street where they are easy to see
  • Move your cars so there is parking and you aren't blocking your items from view of the street

Use a moving chart

As you pack your items, you want to list all the items in a box on a paper, then mark a number down on the paper and put that same number on the box. This way, when you get to your new home you will know which items are in what box so you won't have to search around for the things you want to find.

Rent a dump trailer

Renting a dump trailer allows you to have a dumpster you can use for everything that you want to throw away. Once you are done throwing away your unwanted items that you can't sell at the yard sale, you can move on to cleaning the yard and throw away any junk in it, as well as everything you rake up and any branches or other items you need out of the yard in order for it to be presentable. This makes it so you don't have to make several trips to the dump or hire someone to clean up after you. You can contact companies like S&H U-Call We Haul for more information.
