How to Protect Floors when Moving:



In order to protect your floors when moving place a doormat in front of the doorstep of every room. In this way when the moving begins they can catch most of the dirt that comes in from people’s shoes like sand, mud or dust. If you have hardwood floors you can protect them by putting pieces of carpet with the size of a doormat or a bit larger. This will keep eventual scratches or other types of damages on the floors away on moving day.

Lay the wooden floor in living room and children’s room with paper. In order to protect floors when moving put the paper with tape on all of the way in your house on which you will carry furniture. You can find special paper for that purpose at hardware and home improvement stores like Lowe’s or Ace Hardware Stores for example.

Use plywood to protect floors when moving appliances and electronics that are larger like a freezer, refrigerator and washing machine. You can put that in the kitchen. The plywood sheets will also protect floors when moving being damaged since paper is going to be too think to rely on when it comes to appliances because they have sharp edges unlike the soft couches and the mattresses from the living room or bedroom, for example.

Before moving any furniture that has legs, wrap them up with towels or pieces of clothing that you won’t need. In this way you can protect floors when moving in the case that someone accidentally drops down the kitchen table or you need to put down the chair you are carrying for whatever reason.

4 Pro Tips for Unpacking After Your Move

1. Take a break

Most people move in the summer. This means you’ve probably just finished a long hot day and you’re completely beat. Treat yourself by finding your first favorite restaurant in your new town. If it’s meal time, have a quick meal out of the house, or if not, have a coffee or a treat. The boxes will be there when you get back and taking an hour to relax a bit will make all the difference as you start to tackle them.

2. Don’t obsess

It isn’t hard to get caught up in the details. “If I put the coffee pot here that doesn’t leave me any room for the blender.” The goal is to get your stuff out of the boxes and get the boxes out of the house. Not to spend hours agonizing over whether this should be the silverware drawer or the dish towel drawer. Give yourself a week actually using your rooms, learning the feel of the place and your new preferences. Then decide on the final spots for your gadgets and knick knacks.

3. Arrange Furniture First

It’s easy to clear a room of boxes, or at least most of the boxes, so that you can visualize the space and what you want to put where. This also gives you the freedom to try out several options in a room before making a final decision. If you need to purchase furniture for a room, try to unpack as little as possible in that room until the new furniture has arrived.

4. Essentials First

Most people will tell you to have an essentials box. It’s the box of stuff that gets packed and loaded last and then unloaded and unpacked first. Be sure to keep your eye on this box and head for it first. You’ll instantly feel better with your toothbrush set out and clothes for the next few days put away. But there are more essentials than just the essentials box. Don’t leave your bed until right before you’re ready to crash for the day. Put it together early in the process and get the linens put out. Then, getting to sleep doesn’t mean one more thing you have to do. The kitchen and bathrooms are also essential rooms. Have an “essentials” box for each room so that breakfast is easy in the morning and you’re not scrambling for towels the next day.
Just like you did with packing, you can set yourself daily goals. Try to unpack a few boxes every day. If you find that some boxes are sitting around after a few weeks, consider whether you really need whatever is in them. Have patience with yourself as well. Moving day is the big day, but the work doesn't end there. No need to stress out about the amount of work, remember to enjoy your new surroundings a little as well!mo

10 Things To Do After You Move:

1. Call the utility companies

Gas/propane, electric, cable, telephone, garbage service, and any other providers for your home must be called to ensure service is in your name. Double check what day your garbage will be picked up(order cans if you need to) and when your bills will be due.

2. Don’t put your home inspection away

If you just bought a house, hopefully you had a home inspection. You may not have the time, energy or money to deal with all or any of the items on your list right away, but don’t forget about the big repairs you may need to make, especially before winter comes your way.

3. Find your main circuit breaker

Take the time to locate the main breaker box for your home and label each breaker correctly if not labeled already.

4. Find the off switch

Locate the main water shut-off and make sure all household members know where this is located. It is also not a bad idea to purchase a water cut-off wrench in case it ever is necessary to turn off your water supply from the meter.

5. Obtain a subscription to the local newspaper

I did not do this right away when we moved to Bainbridge Island, and I regret it. Print media may be dead in many ways, but the local paper, small as it might be, is a good way to find out about local politics and the inner-working of your new city/town.

6. Spread the word about your new address

Don’t forget to inform creditors and magazine subscriptions of your new address. In most areas, you can now change your address online through the Post Office. Make sure your old post office is forwarding your mail correctly.
  • Change your address with the DMV
  • Change your address with your employer
  • Order new checks with your new addresss
  • Register to vote
  • Let your friends know too, email is great for that

7. What’s your number?

Make sure your street number is identified and easily visible from the road. Reflecting house numbers on your mailbox work well. Many streets on our island do not have street lights.  You may want to make sure your street numbers light up.

8. Organize your files

Files that are related to your move such as receipts, manuals, warranties, etc. I give my clients a hard copy of the real estate transaction and I burn all the files onto a CD too.

9. Check out the area to locate new physicians, dentist, vet., etc.

Ask your new neighbors kid’s teachers, the clerk at the store, get local references.

10. Write it down

After you meet your new neighbors write down their names and phone numbers.  Put the info in your phone contacts.   Helpful to have in a pinch.
