So you are getting ready to move...

Here are some tips to keep in mind in order to make your move 

less stressful and more fun!

1) Decide whether or not you want to hire a mover. If you've got heavy things to move, 

or if you've got a bad back, trick knee, etc., it's  probably a good idea to hire 

a professional to  move you. Plus, if your company is paying for the move, or if 

you are making a long distance move, you're best bet is to hire someone.

2) Before you move, close out any accounts, such as health clubs, library cards, etc.

3) Send change of address forms to utility companies, magazines and newspapers that you 

subscribe to, etc. 

4) Research the utility companies that service your new home. Get their phone numbers 

so that you can tell them when you are closing on your new home. 

This will help avoid any lapses in service.

5) Get rid of possessions that you no longer need. The less you have to move with, the 

better.  Moving is a great time to get rid of stuff that you don't use. Before 

throwing everything away, however, consider having a garage sale. You can 

turn your old junk into cash, so you can buy new junk. 

6) Clear out your refrigerator the day before you move. Eat what you can and give 

the rest to neighbors or the stray cat that always seems to hang around your 

home. Then unplug your refrigerator and leave it's doors open overnight. 

This will help get rid of any excess moisture.
