Atlanta Moving - What Do You Expect On Moving Day

By Julie Bainbridge


The day of your move is all about getting you out of one house and in to the new one - if you've employed a company, all you will require do is supervise them, or stay out of their way entirely. If you haven't, it is essential to have some strong family members and friends on hand to help you shift everything into your van.

Empty one room at one time, and ensure the cupboards (if they are walk in) are also empty - once it's done, sweep, mop or vacuum, and do one final pickup then close the door. Make it clear to the others helping you that sealed rooms are finished with, to ensure that individuals aren't trailing dirt into rooms that are completed and clean.

Moving day itself will most likely pass in a blur, so it's essential to attempt to savor your last moments in the house you are leaving. You will probably have several memories, good and bad, there, and full closure on that period of time in your life is essential, so that you can move on.

You'll wish to keep a couple of boxes, or bags spare and on hand to ensure that you can catch anything that you have overlooked, that's been knocked into a corner, or essentials that you have kept out for the move - the latter should be marked clearly so that you can find them at the other end.

Keeping your kettle, mugs, coffee, tea, toiletries and baby supplies (if you have got a small child) separate from your packed belongings might be a good idea, as is keeping any essential work, moving, utility or ID documents in a safe place in the course of your move. The latter will assure that they do not accidentally go astray, or are placed somewhere that you cannot find them.

You ought to take a final meter reading, and where appropriate, shut down any water, electricity or gas supplies if no one is going to be in the house for a couple of days after you.
