Planning Your Move: 1 Day Prior to Your Move
By Joni White
That's it! Finally, your move day has arrived. This is the last night your family will be sleeping in its old home. If it didn't happen so far, now you must be excited and impatient for the big day. If you followed this guide up to this phase, you should be almost ready for a smooth move.
Finalize Packing
This task cannot be delayed anymore. If your house is not completely packed by now, you will have to finish up all packing today. If you can't complete this task by yourself, ask neighbors, friends, and relatives to help you finish your packing on time or call your mover and order packing services. While packing, remember to label all boxes and keep a complete inventory.
Disassemble Your Furniture
If you did not ask your movers for disassemble services, have all of your furniture disassembled and packed. Keep all screws and reassembling instructions. If you cannot complete this task call your movers and ask for this service.
Disconnect Your Appliances
Disconnect all your appliances. Be sure to dry out all water from appliances such as: washer, drier, dishwasher, freezer, and fridge.
Prepare Your Oven
Have your oven emptied and clean. Be sure to reinforce everything you leave in the oven so it will not move or break while your movers load it.
Prepare Your Refrigerator and Freezer
If you haven't done so by now, this is the right time to empty, defrost and clean your refrigerator and freezer. Empty the refrigerator and the freezer completely and use baking soda to eliminate any odors. You can also leave the baking soda box in the refrigerator while it is in transit.
Finalize All Trip Arrangements
Although mentioned last, do not leave this task for the last minute as your moving day is going to be a busy day. Pack your suitcases and make sure you took enough clothes. Prepare a food box and include some snacks and refreshments. Prepare a box with toiletries and all bathroom items that you can only pack on the day of the move, after your family members have finished using the bathroom. Charge mobile phones to ensure the batteries are loaded for the trip. And equally important: Take some time to relax before the big day and get a good night sleep.
