How Do You Pack Clothes for Maximum Space?
One of the areas of packing that can be difficult to take on are the clothes. Everyone in the house has clothes that will have to be packed away and that can be overwhelming. This is the time to go through all the clothes and to donate what you know you will not be wearing. It is also the right time to go through and pack a suitcase or a bag of clothes that you will need during the moving process which can be a few days if you are moving far. You want to make sure that you then are smart about packing the rest of your closet. You can choose to pack the clothes with the hangers as a way to combine the two items and make the hanging back up easier. You will have to pack the hangers anyway so keeping them in the clothes and laying them in a box is a great hack.
Label Assembly Parts for Furniture
Have you ever moved and gotten to your new place and realized that you need to set up the bed? This is one of the things that go first so that you can get a good night’s sleep. The problem comes when you need to find the allen key that you is needed as well as the bolts that belong to that bed. Some people pack them all in a box that they then will need to locate. The hack is to put all the tools as well as the parts and bag them. You want to them take that bag and tape it to a large piece of the furniture secure. This means when you need to make a bed or attach the bookshelf you can do it and all the parts are there.
What Goes in an Essentials Box when Moving?
When you are moving you will need to pack it all but you want to make sure that you have what you need. This might be access to your important documents or other necessities that you may need along the way and when you arrive. It is important to pack these necessities in a box that you keep with you when the truck is being loaded.
