good time to finalize the details of your big move. • Enlist the help of family and friends. Let them know when they can come and help you with packing or unpacking. • Update all personal documents that include your address. Notify your employer, banks, and insurance companies of your change in address.
TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE MOVE
• Clean up every room once you’ve packed all the items in it. • Disassemble furniture that you won’t be using in the following days and pack or prepare it for moving. • Set aside all items that you won’t be needing, and schedule for a pickup by the local Salvation Army or any organization you decide to donate them to. If you’re planning on a garage sale, now is the perfect time to do that. • File your leave from work for the days that you’ll be concentrating on the move. • Prepare a suitcase of things that you’ll need on the day of your move, like towels, toiletries, clean clothes, etc. • Check the condition of your new place and make sure everything is ready for moving day. Clean up all the clutter and check if the switches are working and whether electricity is already available. • Throw away all unneeded and unusable items, especially flammable items such as leftover paint, spray cans, or propane. • Call up your relatives and friends who enlisted to help
