Now what percentage of us have lived the life of a nomad, relocating to newer destinations every few years, adding to the already existing inventory, holding dearly to the old useless stuff and moving on again. A Soldier's better- half knows just what I'm talking about. Well when the inevitable move knocks on your door every other year, after a few of transfers you're quite expert at it all. I even have been a military Daughter, a military Officer and now a military Wife, and that is what I call hands on experience in "moving my house with all the cheese in it".
Here are a few of tips for those that during this era of professional packers and movers still wish to do it themselves in their own special way:-
1. The day you move into your new location open up a Recurring Deposit as low or high as you would like together with your bank. The deposit over your period of your tenure would go away you with enough cash to cater to expenditures related to the bag-baggage and self move when its time just once again. Try it; it'll prevent tons of unnecessary worrying!
2. Get proper wooden crates for the larger fragile electronic items like your refrigerator, television, washer etc.
3. Have all of your boxes numbered. Get all of your locks and their respective keys tagged with the box numbers. This will be as effortless as card board tags dangling from each key with the box number scribbled with waterproof ink thereon.
4. down to the packing front. Keep the following in mind
a) Start with belongings you aren't getting to need immediately at your new destination e.g. the ornamental pieces in your living room.
b) Do confine mind the climate at the new destination, if it's expected to be bright and sunny you'll pack up all the woolens and vice-versa.
5. Always have a little package with the minimum bare essentials from your kitchen to enable you found out a small kitchenette at your new location to cater to fussy toddlers and once during a while adventures for your own self. Things sort of a small frying pan, a small autoclave and a few of saucepans. Maybe even a touch sugar, tea leaves and a few legumes, rice, flour and a few of condiments in little zip lock pouches in order that you'll miss out on a rush to the grocery store too. The mini box opens up and you'll cook a basic meal or a cup of tea for yourself. Trust me it'll help.
6. Attempt to have a yard sale of all the items you haven't utilized in last two tenures and for those you're feeling you are unlikely to use. It are often a touch hard to spare them sometimes but it'll go an extended way clearing up the clutter and perhaps even assist you feel a tad bit less guilty over your overindulgence with keeping pace with the newest in trend.
7. The key to not ending up with broken stuff is to pack them tightly with no space in between for them to maneuver from where they have been tucked incase of movement on a weathered terrain during transportation.
8. it's always an excellent idea to recycle old newspapers and poly bags, another good use is to store them and have them shred to be used as packing for cushioning and to fill in gaps in between articles to avoid their movement and breakage.
9. it's a wise idea to possess a wooden box lined with felt for permanent use as your crockery box.
10. Another tip is to possess plastic sheets fixed /nailed to the lids of the boxes to guard water seepage from the highest during a worst case scenario.
11. make sure you pack all the breakables like your crockery, paintings, front room accessories in wooden boxes rather than trunks or card board boxes. Wooden boxes are lesser susceptible to breakages and provide better protection to the things inside.
12. Quite similarly the books and clothing items should preferably enter a trunk instead of a wooden box for obvious reasons!
13. A really useful lesser known tip is to pack your full plates and quarter plates vertically with cushioning in between each. Within the event of even one single glass plate breaking, the impact acts as a sympathetic detonation for the remainder below to crack/break. This is often largely prevented by packing these plates vertically rather than horizontally
14. The above is additionally true for packing paintings, which should also ideally be packed standing vertically preferably during a wooden box.
15. Try wrapping your crockery in your clothing items. Try filling up larger utensils with grocery etc, it's an efficient space management tip.
16. Don't have your refrigerator, dishwasher and washer working till the last moment, if you do not let the moisture within dry up there's every chance of you finding unwanted odour and even fungus once you open them up.
17. Use the space within these larger electrical appliances too, e.g. you'll pack your cushions inside your refrigerator which even prevent the racks from moving skelter within the refrigerator. Before you are doing this please make sure that the refrigerator is well dried.
18. it's a must to have lists for every box with details of the inventory packed within. Have a replica of the list pasted inside the lid of every box. Have another during a separate folder. This does wonders to knowing where to seem for what, without delays.
