Moving can be very stressful. Everyone knows that, but did you know that with the right kind of planning and a few helpful insights, the amount of stress caused by moving can be regulated to a very minimal amount. Here are just a few tips that not everyone knows.
- Try to completely fill each box placing the heavier items on bottom. Full boxes won't crumble as easy when stacking box on top of box.
- Choosing boxes of the same dimension to store you items make packing and stacking easier.
- The stouter the box, the better, use these boxes on the bottom to support weaker boxes.
- Write down a inventory list of items that you are storing.
- Wrap your glass cups and plates with packing paper or newspaper. Placing plates on edge may help them from potentially breaking. Never place heavy items on top of glass. These items would be best placed on top.
- Check t see if your table has removable legs that can be broken down to save space in your unit.
- Some sofas and love seats can be stored standing on end to save space as well.
- Be sure to label each box. People always think they will remember where they placed certain items, but it just isn't true. Labeling boxes will save you a lot of time in the future.
