1 Week Before Move

Week of Move

This is when you usually start feeling nervous and wonder if you prepared properly and took care of everything you needed to.

Keep Documents and Valuables
Be safe and take any important documents such as social security cards and any financial documents along with any valuables such as expensive jewelry and watches. Basically items that are very hard to replace.

Repairs in Your House
Ensure that all repairs in your current house is taken care of.

Don't Forget Anything
Check to see if you did not forget to pack anything that might be in a hidden place such as an attic.

The Refrigerator
Get rid of all items in the refrigerator at least 24 hours ahead of time so you can air out any odors. Use baking soda if needed. Sometimes leaving a container of baking soda inside the refrigerator can help.

Travel Items
Pack all the items you may need while traveling separately and not in the other boxes. This includes any medication, snacks and travel tickets.

Borrowed Items
Make sure anything you have borrowed or checked out from local libraries, videos, dvds or items from neighboors are returned.

Label Boxes
Don't forget to label boxes with "Fragile" if they need to be.
