Moving Homes?
When you are prepared to change addresses, we highly recommend calling a moving company. It is a safer and more relaxing option for you. However, we understand that people will want to try moving homes on their own, and we respect that, so here are a few pointers for when you are moving.
5 Pointers for Moving Homes
Wear Proper Attire – Wearing the right clothes is everything. Shoes, shorts, and shirts tend to be the standard attire for a move. It offers mobility and comfort when you are constantly lifting and walking. However, during the colder seasons, sweats, long sleeved shirts and jeans may also be substituted.
Box Appropriately – The number one rule of any move is safety. You always want to put appropriately weighted materials in their proper area. Put little things in big boxes and heavy things in little boxes. You want to keep the weight close to your abdominal muscles and chest, and you want to lift constantly with your legs. If you don’t know how to do that, the calf raise technique is the easiest way to ensure you are lifting with your legs. You are forcing the weight into your legs by tippy-toeing.
Label Materials – An organized move is an effective move. If you label your materials correctly, you will be able to unbox properly and unpack your move with ease. There are never too many ways to label; some people even make lists.
Valuables are Separate – The only way to make sure your valuables are safe is to put them away from everything else or specially mark them. We strongly believe that if you create a ‘no-touch’ zone, then you will have a very safe move.
Call the Moving Company – If you’ve done everything and read the list, you’ve probably realized what a hassle it can be. It’s much better if you just call a moving company.
