Moving can be a weeks or months-long process. After you’ve done most of the work, you may wonder if everything is in order the day before you actually move for good.
Balancing all the logistics and the schedule of a move, whether down the street or long distance, can be difficult. You may have questions about how to spend the last night and day before you move your belongings to a new place and begin unpacking.
Here are five steps from the Slater Transfer & Storage team that will help you prep for the night before a move.
If you’ve scheduled help from a moving company, you’ll want to confirm the night before. Make sure you’re both on the same page and that you know what time they will show up to get started.
On the other hand, if you’re doing the move yourself, you should confirm with any family members or friends who are going to assist you.
Moving can be chaotic, so you don’t need to make things even more complicated for yourself by frantically looking through boxes to find your clothes.
Instead, put together a suitcase with your essentials, such as outfits and toiletries. You can also set aside food items to eat so you’re not scrambling to get sustenance.
Dealing with a dying cell phone is the last thing you want when you’re in the process of moving. The night before your move make sure you charge all your vital electronics, including phones and laptops.
You might also want to charge video game consoles or tablets for kids as they may need some distractions during the move.
It’s always a good idea to cover all your bases. Take pictures of your place once it’s empty. If you have an apartment, you can use these pictures to ensure you get your security deposit back. If you’re selling your home, you can prove you left the place in good condition for the new owners.
If you’re hiring a moving company or just want to make sure you didn’t leave any belongings behind, it’s also a good idea to take pictures of your boxes and stuff.
Finally, remember to get some rest. Moving day and the next few days as you unpack can be hectic. You’ll likely be driving a lot and doing some physical labor, especially if you’re doing a lot of the process yourself. You want to be well-rested for the big day!
