When you go through the process of selling a home and buying a new one and then getting all the contents relocated, it’s apt to feel like a three ring circus. But in the last 48 hours before the truck pulls into your soon to be old driveway to load up and cart away your belongings to their new home there are some more things to consider that can get lost in the shuffle, amidst all the squeaky wheels begging for oil. Remember, for example, to close out local bank accounts. Before the truck pulls up to your new digs, make sure that it of an acceptable size and any permits are in order. Make sure furniture that should be disassembled is. Defrost your frig. Gather together all your important documents to make sure they are all in one handy spot. Lastly, consider those first few days, potentially without furniture, or much in the way of creature comforts. Pack an essential bag for everyone to get over that hump with the best face possible.
Key Takeaways:
- Two days before moving, defrost the refrigerator and freezer and clean them.
- Prepare an essentials box of items you’ll need to get you through the first couple of days.
- Start disassembling furniture ahead of time just in case it proves to be more difficult than you thought.
“Vital documents should always stay with you rather than moving with the truck or moving company.”
