If you are someone that lives in a rented house, you will know just how much of a hassle moving day is and no one ever looks forward to the day that they have to shift homes. The problem however is that, because no one looks forward to the day and no one wants to think about it, they tend to put the packing of their things and the preparations for moving day off until the very last minute which is one of the roots of the problems in the first place.
There are many things that you can do to make moving day a little bit easier on yourself if you plan well ahead and if you start the process well ahead of time.
Make a check list
You will want to start with making a time based check list which will detail everything you need to do and when you need to get it done with a time line. If you want to make the day less stressful, you will need to start the process at least a month or two ahead of time so that when moving day finally comes around, you will not have much to do except for dealing with the furniture removalists Melbourne and seeing that they do their job well.You will need to start packing your belongings in to boxes from about a month ahead so that towards the last week before your moving day, you will be living a minimalist lifestyle with very few things in your home.
If your new place is fairly close by, you will want to take the place a few days or a week before you actually move in so that you can drive over with a few boxes a few days in advance so that the professional movers will have fewer things to move on the day. If you are moving far or across states, you will need to hire interstate removalists who may cost a lot more because of the distance they are travelling and also because of the higher number of things they will need to transport.
Host a garage sale
Make an effort to start getting rid of as many of your belongings as possible so that you have very few things to move. You could host a garage sale to get rid of all of the stuff you do not need anymore and this will also help you to collect a little extra money for your move. Keep in mind that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure so you might be able to earn quite a bit of money.
