How to Start Packing for Your Move

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

From managing your very first move to packing when you find yourself too overwhelmed to think, these easy recommendations from professional movers in Colorado Springs can help you commence putting one box on top of another until your home is packed and ready to go.

Start out with Cartons and a Permanent Marker

Begin with that first carton. Grab a bunch of 'Medium' packing boxes and a permanent marker. Get started with the rooms you use least, like the shed or den. Clear cabinets into boxes (with padding, as needed) and mark the carton for its contents. After that begin the process of another box. Then another. Clear your off-season clothes straight into one box and your backup toiletries straight into another. Clear your books and desk drawers into one carton and your less used kitchen pans into one more.

One carton at a time, label by label, your house is going to get packed.

Break Up Your Packing into Manageable Sections

If perhaps packing the whole home might appear to be a huge undertaking, break it up. Pack your office first, or all things in your dresser that you do not wear regularly. Pack up the storage areas, they might be actually half-packed anyway. Section your house into areas, leaving your most-used belongings for last. Undertake packing one evening and weekend at a stretch and congratulate yourself on hitting milestones.

Dispose of Belongings You Have No Need For

Moving is an ideal time to remove your personal property of what you do not need or don't wish to bring together with you. All those shirts you never put on, the pans you never prepare food with, or the household furniture too worn out to be worth the truck space can get kicked to the curb or - better still - donate them. There may be a young couple who desperately needs an older durable couch or perhaps a family who can really use that extra mattress.

Eliminate things you have no need for. Anything you will not miss in the new residence is a candidate to lighten up your load and reduce the total you must pack.

Allow Yourself Enough Time

If you are not a professional mover in Colorado Springs, begin early. The majority are not able to pack their house over a long weekend, or even over 3 or 4 weekends. Therefore, allow enough lead-up time for you to pack the residence - and recognize when it's time to call in the moving company reinforcements should you merely don't make ample headway before your moving date approaches. This is typical, not every individual is a packing machine.

Use Professional Movers

Professional movers in Colorado Springs are a crucial aid when you're planning a move. Many individuals hire movers to pack just their big household furniture and a lot of delicate items, trusting their expertise to ensure these things arrive at the new house safely and securely. You can also count on professional movers in Colorado Springs to take you beyond the finish line in case your personal moving initiatives aren't quite executed when moving-truck weekend arrives.
