Tips for Moving:

Use strong boxes or containers in good condition that can be sealed with packing tape. These can be purchased locally at moving companies, truck rental companies and on line. You can often purchase used containers in good shape for a reduced fee from moving companies. On line check out: theboxcompany.com and packingkits.com. Don't overload each box. 40-50 pounds is the maximum. Pack books in smaller boxes and pack them on end. Empty spaces in boxes should be filled so everything in the box is tight. Use packing paper, newspaper, towels, fabric etc. Label each box with contents and which room to unload it. Remove all breakables and valuables from drawers. Pack your valuables, jewelry, photos, collectables, and checkbooks yourself. Packing takes longer than expected. Start early and allow plenty of time.

Organization in packing will save many hours of time and frustration in the long run.
