• Prepare several Post-it notes with your new address and contact numbers to be given to your movers or your helpers on moving day.
ON THE DAY OF THE BIG MOVE
• Pack away your bedding and disassemble all the beds in your home. (You can also do this a day or two before and sleep on an air mattress for your last night.) • Have a last-minute meeting with your movers, and ensure they know how you want things done. Inform them of the box labels, where each box must go, and how they should be loaded. Make sure all your items are packed and nothing gets left behind. • Distribute your Post-it notes with your contact numbers and the new address to every driver in the moving group. • Double-check every room in the house before leaving, ensuring nothing is left. • Turn off all light switches, and lock all windows and doors. • Make sure you arrive at your new home before the movers/helpers. • Please review your new home to ensure all utilities are in working condition. • Clean up your new home while it’s still empty. Open windows and cabinet doors to let in fresh air. • You can direct your movers when unloading your boxes and show them where they go. • Finally, you could unpack what you need for the rest of the day and set up your beds and bedding while you have help.
