Packing Tips
This weekend, I moved from an old apartment into a new, bigger,
WONDERFUL town home. Just like any move, this one wasn't very
fun. No matter how many times I do it, there are always an
infinite number of sentences beginning with "I wish I'd...." or
"It would've helped so much if we'd...."

STAGE 1: Packing
Materials needed: several good, big, black permanent markers;
lots of paper to wrap your breakables in; masking tape; friends
or people who owe you favors; boxes; boxes; boxes; boxes; more
boxes.
Procedure:
1. Buy the markers from your grocery store. Click here to print
out a full STUFF YOU'LL NEED LIST and get everything your going
to need for the move in one trip.
2. Get your boxes: After you shop for your moving supplies,
check behind the store. Most stores will have a plethera of
great boxes (unless someone's beaten you to them). If you're
moving around the beginning of the school year, you might make a
call to a nearby school. Every year, teachers get in new book
shipments, so they usually have tons of extra boxes.
3. Get packing paper: If you're living in an apartment, there's
usually a "paper only" recycle bin next to the mail boxes. Raid
this first, and then gather up old newspapers.
4. Convince your friends (or those who you've helped move in the
past) to come over and help you. The more people you have, the
faster things will get done.
A few tips before you start filling boxes:
# Get everything on your AFTER THE MOVE LIST and put it in the
bath tub of your new place. Why the bath tub? Because it's just
about the only place you won't be shoving boxes into, and it's
usually already clean.
# Do not pack things in trash bags.... especially if you have a
lot of people helping you move. Someone will throw the bags away.
# Don't just mark boxes KITCHEN, or BEDROOM. Break things down
into sub-categories. It's easy to do and makes unpacking a
breeze. For example you might have KITCHEN - Dishes and
Silverware; BEDROOM - Sheets and Comforter, etc.
# When you move boxes, you'll be stacking them, so don't just
write the contents on the top of boxes, write them on every side.
# Wait as long as you can to pack your stereo or T.V. You'll
want entertainment while you're packing.
# To protect glasses from breaking, wad up paper to shove inside
and then wrap the glasses in several sheets of newspaper.
# Don't foget to wad up paper to shove between breakables.
Pack 'til you can't pack any more!
Hopefully, these little tidbits will help you pack for your next
move.
Moving Packing
If you're among thousands of people who have picked up and moved their family to a new home or a new community, you most likely have unhappy memories of the frustrations of moving and packing. However, there are lots of ways to help make household moving and packing easier and smoother. Read here for help to get your life, and your possessions, organized for a peaceful and exciting move.
Having a moving packing list works like a simple record keeping system. Place a number on every box you pack and list the contents on your moving packing list. Place this moving packing list in a place where you will find it easily preferably along with the moving packing supplies.
Have plenty of moving packing supplies. You'll also need lots of boxes and a whole lot of moving packing supplies like strong plastic packing tape to close up the boxes securely, unprinted newsprint or packing paper or bubble wrap to wrap and cushion household goods.
In addition to having a moving packing list, plenty of moving packing supplies, boxes and other materials, you would do well to keep in mind a few more moving packing tips such as keeping things together when you or the movers are packing boxes; packing ahead will save you time on moving day; consolidate cleaning supplies clean anything possible ahead of time; use your luggage by filling luggage and duffle bags with clothing, sheets, towels, and paper goods; keep important papers such as birth certificates, school records, mover estimates, new job contacts, utility company numbers, recent bank records, current bills with you; use personal boxes one for each person. These should be brightly colored storage tote boxes. Let each family member fill theirs with items they'll want 'right away' in the new home -- a set of sheets, a towel, a couple of extension cords, a phone, nightlights, address book, pens and paper, keys, kleenex, and travel cosmetic case, and so on.
Moving may not be the most fun you've ever had, but planning ahead in accordance with these moving packing tips will go a long way toward making the process bearable.
