Re: Best Moving Tips
We moved about 1.5 years ago, and we moved slowly, too.
Things I wish we'd done:
1) Painted before we moved in. Seriously. All other decorating, I'm glad we waited, but whatever paint is currently on our walls is SO easily scuffed that I wish we'd taken the time to repaint, especially now that we have a toddler :facepalm
2) Thrown more stuff away-- I decluttered a lot, but there's still a lot of stuff we moved that we didn't truly need.
Things I'm glad we did:
1) Choose a day that we would be sleeping in the new house. That was my "deadline" for packing up essentials. I lived out of a suitcase for a bit.
2) Hiring a moving truck (we have a piano).
3) Hiring someone to clean our old apartment before we moved.
4) Kept boxes with stuff from just one room-- made unpacking a lot easier.
