Moving Tips for When you Land Your New Texas Job
From: www.buffingtonhomes.wordpress.com
Have you recently purchased a new home and are getting ready to move? Congratulations! Now it’s time to pack up your belongings and start your adventure in your new home. Exciting huh? Well, exciting until you have to start packing. Here are a few tips to help ease the process of moving and to help keep your excitement.
Keeping Track
Once you get all of your boxes in your new home you’ll probably decide to unpack some boxes now and some later. Unfortunately you don’t remember which box you put your toothbrush in. Here’s an idea to help save you from searching through all of your boxes. When you are packing take a notepad and number the boxes. On your notepad put the number and what you packed in the box. This will help you keep track of what’s in each box and you’ll be able to brush your teeth your first night in your new home!
Connecting the Colors
Now that you have numbers on your boxes, assign a color for each room and apply stickers to your boxes. For example, blue for bathroom, purple for bedroom #1, etc. Also mark the rooms with the color stickers so that it’s easy to distribute the boxes into their correct rooms. This will also help the movers or anyone who is helping you move.
Starting Early
Moving will be 100 times easier if you pack up items that you don’t need weeks before you move to your new home. You won’t need a TV in every room, extra linens, or all your décor so it wouldn’t hurt to get everything that’s not a necessity packed away. With only having to pack what you’ve needed on moving day you are guaranteed to have less stress.
