Are you getting ready to move soon? Here are a few must-dos!
• Determine how many boxes you need. For a two-bedroom house, you’ll likely need sixty boxes to pack up everything. If your house is larger, add twenty boxes for each additional bedroom.
• Aside from cardboard boxes, stackable plastic bins work wonders for keeping things organized and protected, and they are relatively inexpensive.
• Keep hanging clothes as is and pack them in a wardrobe box to save time. Each box holds about 2 feet of hanging clothes.
• Allot one roll of tape for every 15–20 boxes, and be sure to tape every box on the top and bottom.
• Consider packing electronics, like televisions and computers, in their original boxes.
• Always wrap fragile items, like mirrors and ceramic decorations, in bubble wrap before placing in boxes. Cover furniture in blankets to provide extra cushion.
• When packing essential items you will need right away, keep them toward the top of the box or, better yet, together in their own box.
• Don’t forget to label boxes with a list of the items inside, as well as the room they belong in.
