On the Move!

Moving is always an exhausting venture.  Booking a mover through HomeWised can help minimize the stress, and we also have a few tips for you to make the move as easy as possible.

1. Make essential items accessible.  For any items you may need such as medicine, contacts, make-up, etc.: pack an overnight bag.  This way you have your important items in a known area, but still easy to move.

2. Wrapping glassware or anything fragile or of value in your clothes.  It saves you time and money by packing two items at once and not purchasing a roll of bubble wrap.

3. When labeling your boxes, put the details of the boxes contents on the side.  That way when all the boxes are stacked, you can still read them.

4. Pack books in luggage.  That way it is easy to move since it has rollers and will hold a much heavier amount than a regular box.

5. Before you unplug your TV or other electronic's, take a photo of where all the wires belong. That way you won't spend hours trying to find where they belong, you already have a guide to refer to. 

6. The easiest and fastest way to pack hanging clothes is to leave them on the hangers and put groups of them in plastic bags.  It protects your clothes, makes it easier to carry a large bunch, and makes it easier to unpack into the new closet.

7. If you are renting space, make sure you take before and after photos.  You will be held responsible for damages, so it doesn't hurt to have photos of the conditions.
