GETTING READY TO MOVE

At least one month prior to moving into your new home, decide which items are going with you and which are going to charity, a garage sale, or the dump. When it comes to packing, tackle the job one room at a time. Begin with the least used items in the garage, basement and attic. Then proceed through the living/dinning rooms, great room, bedrooms, and finally the kitchen. Use a variety of cartons, sealing tape and marking pen. Use either bubble wrap or newsprint for protective wrap (avoid newspaper, which contains ink). Try to arrive at your new home one day before your belongings to check that the utilities are connected and major appliances are in their correct places.
