TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE B RE THE BIG MOVE
• Clean up every room once you have packed all the items in it. • Disassemble furniture that you will not be using in the following days. Pack or prepare these for moving. • Set aside all items that you will not be needing, and schedule for a pickup by the local Salvation Army or any organization you decide to donate them to. If you are planning on a garage sale, do it now. • File your leave from work for the days that you will be concentrating on the move. • Prepare a suitcase of things that you will need on the day of your big move, like towels, toiletries, and clean clothes. • Call up your relatives and friends who offered to help with the packing and moving and inform them of your schedule.
