Whether you\u2019re moving across town or across the country, you have a lot to do to get ready for the trucks that will haul your household goods from one location to another. Whether you\u2019re packing up yourself or your mover is handling the boxing up, it\u2019s always a good idea to have a home moving checklist to ensure nothing gets missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">As with any other sort of checklist, the idea is to compile a listing of things that must be done prior to the move. List them all, even the obvious. It is sad how often the obvious gets overlooked when the movers arrive. Your list could include things as simple as labeling the boxes with the room and a rough list of contents. It could also have a list of items that are going to be packed to travel with your, as opposed to riding in the moving van. After all, your great-grandmother\u2019s pearls do deserve a bit of special attention. Add things like making sure the dog\u2019s bowl and his lead are in the car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Another sort of home moving checklist involves things you have to do rather than items you\u2019re taking with you. You need to get the electricity switched off on the right date and, if applicable, arrange for it to be turned on in your new home. The kid\u2019s schools have to be dealt with, both the ones they\u2019re leaving behind and the new ones they\u2019ll be entering. The phone company, the gas company, the newspaper service and, of course, the post office all need to be notified. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">A checklist is a good way to make the often-emotional period when you\u2019re packing up one home to move to another a little less stressful for you and your family. Be sure you don\u2019t forget to include a few extra hugs for those neighbors you\u2019ll miss and do get their addresses and phone numbers so you can stay in touch!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving is a major undertaking.
