Settling In Your New Home– part 1
By Joni White
This must be the minute you were looking forwards to since the minute you decided to relocate. You are finally in your new home and expecting your movers to arrive any day mow. However, there are some tasks that require your attention before this process can come to an end. Completing the following tasks will assure a smooth start in your new home.
Be Prepared for the Movers
To assure that your moving process ends as simple and smooth as it began, you will have to be prepared for your items arrival and be absolutely ready to work with your movers until every item is placed where you plan.
Easy Unload
It is likely that your mover will contact you one day prior to expected delivery time. This will notify you that it is time to begin preparation for the unloading. Keep in mind that the easier it is for your movers to unload your goods into your new residence, the faster and cheaper will this process be. The two most important factors for an easy unload are elevator access and parking for the truck. If your new home is located in a skyscraper, reserve the elevator for your move date to allow the movers to use it instead of the stairs. Depending on your new location, parking may and may not be a problem. Do your best to provide your movers a good parking spot to prevent additional long carry charges. For example: If you moved to a place where parking is not a problem then you will only need to make sure that your street is wide enough for a truck to enter. However, if you moved to a place where parking is an issue such as Manhattan, you may need to reserve a spot the night before and in some cases you may even need to obtain a special permit.
A Clean Fresh Start
Clean your house before your movers arrive. That will allow you to start fresh and place your furniture in clean rooms. Consider that: it is a lot easier to clean your home before it is full with your items. Take the time to review your floor plan in order to plan your item placements. Keep in mind that the better you know where things suppose to go, the faster you will be able to get the unload process done. In addition, a good plan will help you determine final placement of items so you will not need to move them again yourself after the movers leave.
