PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Planning is the first and perhaps the most important stage of the move. The success of its implementation depends on how you plan the move. Especially if you decide to do the move yourself. Self relocation of appartments requires careful preparation and preparation of a detailed action plan.

1. First of all, decide how you will move: what you do yourself and what you entrust to the transport company like https://prounionmovers.com.
2. Carefully calculate the timing. Start organizing your move at least two weeks before the planned date.
3. Sort the property. Change of residence is a good reason to restore order among things. Sell, give or throw away all unnecessary.
4. Stock up on the required amount of packaging materials. To do this, contact the online store , where you can find boxes, bubble wrap, wide tape and wrapping paper.
5. A week before moving, start packing: clothes and shoes, bedding and dishes, appliances and paintings. Leave unpacked only the essentials. 
6. Take it as a rule: everything that is packed is necessarily signed. So you save yourself from confusion in a new apartment.
7. If possible, transport things gradually. Bags and boxes with things will easily fit in a passenger car, and for the final transportation only furniture and large equipment will remain.
8. Pack valuables, money and documents separately. Store them in a safe place for the duration of the move.
9. A few days before the move, start dismantling the equipment and dismantling the cabinet furniture. Pack everything in appropriate materials. Fold accessories in separate packages and sign.
10. Arrange packed items in zones: fragile items in the farthest corner, large items closer to the exit. If your home space allows, leave one room free of packed boxes - you can fully relax in it.
11. Last but not least, pack your essentials. Let them be stored in a separate box or bag, after moving you can unpack them first.
12. If your family has small children or pets, ask relatives or friends to look after them during the move.
13. Plan for the direct transportation of property in the first half of the day. On this day, ask for a day off at work.
14. Ask relatives, friends, neighbors in advance to help you load and unload furniture and things on the day of your move. Take an interest in which of them has freight transport. If you cannot find a truck among your friends, order the transportation service from the transport company.
15. Make sure that on the day of moving at least one parking space near your home is free and, if possible, a freight elevator is reserved.
16. During loading operations, remember that furniture and large interior items should be loaded first, fixed with special fasteners (if any in the truck), and only then fragile items should be placed.
17. After all things are loaded into transport, again inspect the apartment and make sure that nothing is forgotten in it. When leaving, close the windows tightly, turn off the taps, turn off the power to the power supply.
18. After unloading the property in a new apartment, check for all boxes and parcels that were loaded at the previous place of residence.
19. Thank the relocation participants for their help and invite them to a housewarming party.
20. Plan further work in this order: first unpack, assemble and arrange the furniture and only then proceed to unpack all other things.
21. Summing up, evaluate the real benefits of the completed apartment move. Consider not only the amount that you managed to save by refusing the services of the mover, but also the physical, time and moral costs on your part, material losses in the form of accidental damage to property. Perhaps after such an experience, you will seriously think about the benefits of professional moving companies.
