For those who are selling their homes, one of the more daunting and tiresome components is that of actually packing up all your stuff and moving. Especially for those who have filled their garage to the brim of capacity, it can be even more difficult. However, when packing up your garage, there are various practices and tips you can employ to ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible when packing the rest of your home.
Key Takeaways:
- Since garages are notorious hidey-holes, like attics, it's best to sort them out before a long move, designating things to throw out and things to keep.
- It sounds silly, but have a garage sale to sell your garage stuff, thereby acquiring a little extra bread for your move.
- Just because they're already boxed, don't assume your garage items are moved-ready, as you will probably need to repackage them with mover-approved supplies, including bubble wrap.
