- Lead packers around the house and make sure they understand all of your instructions.
- Make sure you have gathered together all keys for the home for the new owners.
- Pack all of the items that you will take with you personally. Mark them” Do Not Load – For Car”. It would be better if these were out of the house before the movers came in.
Moving In
- Get to the house I Condominium before the movers. Arrange to take milk, bread, coffee, tea, etc. with you. It will be a long day.
- Lay down Plastic sheets to minimize dirt in the house/condominium.
- Hang up curtains if possible.
- Find your floor plan and give copies to the movers. When your goods arrive, look at each item carefully as it is put in place and check off your inventory.
- Note any damage. You won’t be able to check goods, which have not been unpacked so above your signature of the Bill of Lading, write” subject to loss or hidden damage”.
- First priorities will be in the children’s rooms. TV or radio, and a basic kitchen.
- Seeing as you have not yet unpacked, go out and have a nice dinner. You deserve it!
