Moving Violations

Moving Tips:

• Write down each part of the moving process in a notebook for future reference, including phone numbers, names and appointments.

• Keep appointments also on a calendar.

• Use non-printed newsprint to wrap breakable pieces. Wrap each loosely in one or two sheets.

• Use other things around the house to protect breakable items. For example, put placemats between dishes and wrap crystal in dishcloths.

• Instead of trying to move full-grown plants, take a seedling from those you like. Give the plants away to friends who help you.

• Put heavy items on a rug to make moving them across a hardware floor easier.

• Make notes on boxes to simplify placement in the new home.

• If moving with pets, be sure to keep track of them at all times. When moving across state lines or internationally, check with the authorities for any pet restrictions and regulations.

• Pack all necessities--toiletries, medicine, aspirin, contact solution--in one box, so it will all be easily accessible.

• Pack an emergency overnight bag with a change of clothes and any emergency numbers you might need.
