Moving and packing a la DIY may save you a little in the pocketbook, but will take its toll in other ways – hello stress? – if you don’t do it the right way. With spring just around the corner, moving probably means lugging along a burgeoning shed as well. So how do you pack up that shed?
You’ve boxed up the kitchen, the living room, the bedrooms, and the basement. Now it’s time to tackle the outdoor rooms – the patio, balcony, porch, and yard. Here are some tips to help when packing and moving those items that are (meant to be) built to withstand the elements.
When it comes to the moving (one of the most physically and emotionally stressful events in our lives), preparation is critical to success. A job that seems overwhelming and daunting becomes manageable with the right tools at hand. This is certainly the case with moving house.
It’s approaching moving day, and after weeks and/or months of planning, you’re getting closer to the big moment. But not everything from your old house is going to make the trip with you to your new abode.
Having to move is often unexpected and beyond our control. Housing and rental markets, employment changes, and other of life’s curveballs can necessitate a move when we least expect it.

So knowing how to move on a shoestring budget can make a stressful situation a little easier to get through.
Did you know that moving companies have limited liability for damage to “ready to assemble” furniture (furniture you or a store have had to build from a package)? This means that many movers, including You Move Me, do not move assembled furniture unless it’s been disassembled first.
Moving can feel like a combat zone. Boxes, piled high, become obstacles to weave through while tension builds among the hard-working recruits. But if you go in to battle prepared, there’s no reason to stress. These simple tips will help you put your mind at ease.

When it comes to homes, bigger isn’t necessarily better. More, moving into a smaller space offers a myriad of perks, including easy maintenance and less cleaning. A limited floor plan also makes it less tempting to accumulate possessions, and can mean a smaller decorating budget.
