TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE B RE THE BIG MOVE

• Clean up every room once you’ve packed all the items in it. • Disassemble furniture that you will not be using in the following days and pack or ready it for moving. • Set aside all items that you will not be needing and schedule a pick-up by the local Salvation Army or any other organization you decide to donate them to. If you are planning on a garage sale, now is the perfect time to do that. • 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. • Check the new place you will be moving into and make sure everything is ready for moving day. Clean up all the clutter, check if the switches are working and if electricity is already available. • Throw away all unneeded and unusable items, especially flammable items such as left-over paint, spray cans, or propane. • Call up the relatives and friends you enlisted to help with the packing and moving and inform them of your final schedule.
