Sort
- Sell, Give Away or Throw Out
Now is the perfect time to take a real hard look at some
of those items collecting dust in the attic or garage. The
kids toys, games and books that have not been touched
since they turned thirteen. If you have not used it in the
last two years chances are you will not use it in the next
two years. Then there is that old dresser, the one with
the broken leg that you have glued several times. Consider
a yard sale, donations to charity, a trip to the local
dump or all three. The less you have to move the lower the
cost to you, regardless of which mode of transport you
choose.
Make
a list or three lists in your notebook. Set a date for the
yard sale and mark it on your calendar.
Assemble
Packing Supplies
Now that you have determined what items you are moving you
can start collecting your packing materials. Boxes,
packing tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, etc. If you
purchase from a moving supply company, buy in bulk
(especially boxes), it will cost you less. Pickup clean
boxes from liquor stores, grocery stores and local
furniture retailers.
