Moving is an adventure that comes with a host of responsibilities, tasks and preparation. Planning and strategically downsizing, packing and so forth is ideal, however, on moving day, many people do not know what to do with themselves as the movers do their jobs. To help make your time productive while the professionals do their work, we at Excalibur Moving & Storage would like to offer some tips and suggestions.
How Do I Prepare for a Move with Movers?
Keep Children Pets Out of the Way of Movers. It can be challenging for the movers to get the job done if they are concerned with pets and small kids creating obstacles for them. If having the pets or kids at a loved homes while the professionals get everything ready to move on moving day is not an option, keeping them entertained and out of the movers way is the best way to help the movers be more productive and efficient in their tasks.
Pack Vehicle with Essentials Box. If kids and pets are not a concern, you can start packing up your vehicle of the personal items or unmovable possessions the professionals won’t move. If you are driving to the new home, having the vehicle packed with your sensitive documents, medication, valuables, and other essentials.
Offer Movers Refreshments. To rejuvenate energy and replenish their drive, offering the movers some drinks and snacks can go a long way. Whether you have a cooler packed with ice, water and a few packaged food items, or want to indulge the movers with a modest spread, having food keeps morale high and as well as energy levels.
Clean as You Move. Generally, cleaning the house is on most people’s agenda, especially for rentals. As rooms are done being packed and there is not much foot traffic, tackling the cleaning can expedite the exiting process. Cleaning as you go also give you the opportunity to give each room a once over and ensure everything is removed from the rooms and the trash is removed.
Do Not Leave the Premises. No matter which tasks you engage in while the movers are hard at work, do not leave. There may be important questions and directions the movers need and if you are gone, you can hold up the whole process. Keep busy on location to be there if the movers need your assistance.
Stay Out of the Way of Movers. Movers have the professional training and experience to properly and efficiently move. Micromanaging frustrates the movers and you end up slowing down the whole process. Unless they ask you a specific question, or you simply need to note fragile or sensitive items, stay out of their way and let them do their job.
