some advice for you:
If a box remains still packed for more than 3 months, you don't need anything in it, so just throw it all away.  |
Good advice. I would add that it is worth investing in decent packing materials, realize that packing is more important than loading (the truck is the final detail, not the main act).
In 19 years of marriage, we have lived in 13 houses or condos, nearly all moves for my job. 6 moves involved new time zones, 3 involved new countries. The longest stay was 30 months. We got it down to a science, including maintaining inventory lists in between moves, ruthlessly weeding out things we find we really don't need, and working to get everything set up within 2 weeks, always (and that includes all pictures hung and shelves set up, even in a 5 bedroom 6000 square foot house). Our two kids have lived in 11 of those 13 houses, so they are pretty good movers too. I've always enjoyed moving, change is good.
Hope it goes well.
Jeff
