Home relocation is chaotic and time-taking process. It is one of the most hectic and tedious tasks. It requires patience, skills and endurance to accomplish the task safely and successfully. It also requires prior planning and preparation to make the process smooth and organized. The preparation should be started from the day you came to know about your relocation need.
Relocation is a lengthy process combining packing, moving, loading, unloading and rearranging. You need to spend much more time to finish the process. So, do not wait and start preparations as soon as possible. If not, start packing at least before two months of actual move.
Your first preparation should be for packing goods. But before start packing, sort out the unnecessary goods of our home and put them on garbage sale or on auction. This is necessary as you will be saved from packing such useless item. Now collect good quality packing materials to safely pack the household goods.
You can pack items kept on attics of your home. You can also pack off season items like clothes and electronic equipment. If it is summer, you can freely pack woolen clothes, heat blowers, etc. If it is winter, you can pack summer clothes, air conditioners, coolers, etc.
Make a moving schedule clearly allotting dates and durations for packing each portion of your home. Also fix a date for final move.
Pack most of the goods except kitchen and beds at least before four days of actual moving date. Pack bedding furniture two day before and arrange beds on floor temporarily. Leave bedding mattress and pillows to be packed on moving date. Pack kitchen before a day of move. Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner for a day outside. In this way, you can move smoothly. Also no items of your home will be left to be packed on eleventh hour. You will be saved from all hustles & bustles and chaos of the last moment that usually happen if one move without proper planning.
Do not forget to label boxes after packing. Labeling helps during loading, moving, unloading and rearranging. It is mainly helpful while rearranging and during rest processes it is for safety reasons.
Also pack a box containing those items that you will need as soon as you reach new destination. This box should contain tooth brush, paste, towel, a piece clothes, soap and like things.
