8 Weeks Out
- Start a file box of all important papers and receipts pertaining to the move.
- Purchase packing supplies.
- Decide what to keep and what to toss.
- Start sorting stuff - sell, garage sale, 2nd hand store, another family member, or trash
- If I'm having a yard sale make plans for it.
- Start packing up stuff we are keeping, but don't need. It can be stored in a storage unit.
- Start making a list of contacts to notify of a change of address - as my mail comes in, make a note, so I don't forget anyone.
We have already rented a storage unit and packed a few boxes of things I am keeping. I don't intend to have a storage unit after we move. So if this stuff doesn't fit into my new home, it's going into a yard sale or I'll sell it on ebay. But the storage unit seemed like an easy solution to help me start clearing out the house.
I just found some moving plan check lists online. Here are a few helpful pages:
- Two men and a Truck Plan Your Move
- American Moving and Storage Association
- ehow How to Plan a Move
My checklist will be changing as I go along. For now, I feel like I have a starting point.
