| Here
are some things to think about before the big moving
day: |
|
1. |
If
doing your own packing, try to avoid leaving out
lots of small items. Instead pack them into large
boxes |
|
2. |
Have pets and children looked after by friends or
relatives if possible |
|
3. |
Notify neighbours of your move if using a common
driveway |
|
4. |
Put fridge and freezer food into an esky at the
last minute |
|
5. |
Make sure you have marked all your ‘fragile’
boxes |
|
6. |
Have all electrical cords wound up and taped including
your VCR, TV, Stereo and kitchen appliances |
|
7. |
Do not leave your packing until the last day, and
be sure all your mail will be re-directed to your
new home/office |
| To
help you save time and money: |
| 1. |
Leave clothes in chest of drawers and bedside cabinets |
| 2. |
Leave fridges and freezers operating, but cleaned
out for metropolitan moves only |
| 3. |
Disconnect washing machine hoses and drain out |
| 5. |
Unscrew large 2-piece wall units |
| 6. |
Put bedding into strong garbage bags |
| 7. |
Make sure over head obstructions are cleared as
much as possible to allow the best vehicle access |
| 8. |
Leave doorways and hallways free of boxes and furniture |
| 9. |
Tape garden shed tools together |
| 10. |
Try not to water pot plants 24 hours before planned
move |
