Key takeaways
- Pack a bag with medicine, chargers, documents and a change of clothes.
- Empty and defrost the refrigerator, and unplug and drain appliances ahead of time.
- Clear pathways and park so the truck can reach the door.
- Walk the home with the crew lead and point out fragile items and anything that stays.
The first hour of moving day sets the pace for the rest.
Keep with you
Medication, important papers, jewelry, keys, chargers and a change of clothes ride with you, not on the truck.
Prepare the house
Clear hallways, remove rugs from the path, move cars so the truck can park and make sure the elevator is reserved if needed.
Appliances
Empty and defrost the refrigerator a day ahead, and unplug and drain the washer. Gas and water hookups should be handled by a qualified trade.
Walk through with the crew lead
Point out fragile items, items that stay and the rooms where things go at the new home. Then let the crew work.
