The Dos and Don'ts of Moving

Moving to a new home can be pretty difficult and stressful, and you need to be aware of what you should and shouldn’t do before the moving day actually arrives. Let’s face it; there are so many things that can go wrong. And many of those things can cause you major disruption that you don’t want to have to deal with.

DO

Get Insured

First of all, you should make sure that you get insured. This is one of those things that can often get ignored. If you don’t insure the move, you could be left with a big bill for repairs and replacements after it. On moving day, things can get pretty hectic. And that means that there is always a chance that things can get broken. That’s not what you want to happen, so putting insurance in place is essential. Learn about all this at household-tips.thefuntimesguide.com/moving_insurance/.

Label According to Rooms

Labeling things is obviously important. But go a step further than just labeling what’s going to be in the boxes. Instead of just doing that, you should label which room each box and its contents belongs to. That way, the box can be taken directly to its corresponding room when the moving day happens. This saves you time and makes things a lot easier for you. And all it takes is a little forward planning.

Ask the Old Owner Plenty of Questions

It’s always a good idea to learn as much as you possibly can about the home that you’re moving into ahead of the move. So, ask the seller plenty of questions. You need to know about the gas and electricity, and you also need to know when the trash is collected. Knowing about all of these things will make your life a lot easier in the days directly following the move. It doesn’t take much time or effort to pick up the phone and ask these questions, so do it.

DON’T

Try to Go it Alone

It’s a big mistake to think that you can go through this whole process on your own. It’s a lot wiser to seek the help of professionals who know what it takes to carry out the move properly. You can go to www.nicksmoving.com if you want to hire a moving company with experience and the right credentials. Even if you think that you can take care of things by yourself, you will probably find that that’s not the case.

Leave Too Much Until the Last Minute

Another mistake that often gets made is that people leave things until the last minute. It’s easy to put things off when they seem time-consuming or difficult. But that moving day is coming for you faster than you think. So, you should try to make sure that you get these things out of the way sooner rather than later. That’s always the smart way to do things when you’re moving. It will save all that rushing around on the day before the move.

So, if you are considering a move, be sure to take these points into consideration.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
