Packing Yourself Part 2 - A Tip for your New Home

I mentioned in a previous post on packing that using labels on the exterior ends of the boxes can be a big time saver. Here's a related thought for moving.

When moving into your new home, especially if you cannot be there all the time when the movers are bringing your hundreds of boxes in, do what we did - we put signs on every room, even the obvious ones (living, dining, master, master closet, front closet, kids room #1, kids#2, etc). That way the movers could easily determine where to put the boxes if we were not there to point them in the right direction. This saved us a lot of time. We also set up a separate space for all those boxes we didn't know what to do with and labeled that (since we came from a house with a basement and were moving into a California home, which of course DOESN'T have a basement, this was a problem). Worked like a charm.

Note: The movers will label everything with small stickers and put all the items on a master inventory. So they an put MBR items in your new MBR without trouble. But we found that having our own labels and using the method I mentioned was more efficient since we set the system up and knew where everything was going.

Didja know?  The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.
