Moving to your New Home


When moving, first decide whether you are going to hire a professional moving company or be a "do it yourself" mover.  Either way, you will find a wealth of information available from the moving company or truck rental company.

If you use a professional moving company, they are responsible for damages and will exert caution on items they pack.  Be aware of the various insurance provisions and make sure you are properly covered.

If you are packing and moving yourself, it is critical to label the boxes. Often you will think, “I will remember what is in this box,” because it is heavy, light, big, little, etc.  Wrong! When your new garage has three hundred boxes in it, you will be lucky to remember what was in the last box you packed, much less what it looks like. 

Also, when you are moving yourself, you might use boxes from retailers, grocery stores, etc., which tend to have writing on them.  To organize your boxes, you may find it helpful to buy packages of colored construction paper.  Tape the same color of paper on at least two sides of a box. On the paper, write what the box contains and if the items are heavy, fragile, etc. Assign a color to each room of your new home. (You might want to tape a piece of the assigned color to each door.)  When you are moving in, simply put the boxes in the corresponding room. For example, all the yellow-labeled boxes go in the room with the yellow paper on the door.  You will find this very helpful when you have children, friends or relatives helping with the move.

Moving is not an easy task.  It is one of the top ten stress factors of life.  Planning and organizing in advance can help to simplify the job.
