You're about to embark on a nerve-wracking, but hopefully welcome, move. Buy some boxes, read our list, and start packing your life into cardboard cubes.
They say that three moves are equivalent to one fire.We won't argue, because we ourselves remember our own moves with a shudder. However, thinking about how many more of these nerve-wracking events we have ahead of us, we decided to look into the matter and draw up a clear step-by-step plan of action. Out of the kindness of our hearts, we are sharing our discovery with the whole world. Step one. We dismantle cabinets and shelves
- The first items we suggest sending into the boxes are wall decor - paintings, posters, framed photographs, garlands and everything that is nailed, glued, secured and leaned against the walls.
- Next comes the packing of photo albums, philatelic, numismatic and other collections, diaries, handwritten recipe books, telephone and address books.
- Smoothly we pass to books, magazines and other polygraphy.
- Shelves, shelves and niches: we lay out the contents of boxes, sort them out into components of the storage system.
- Decide what you will wear on yourself until the moment of moving, and fold the remaining clothes and shoes in boxes. Then repeat the last step with off-season clothing.
Stage two. We sort out the bins
- Holiday cutlery, sets, pots, pallets, pressure cookers and other appliances that will not be needed until the move itself, carefully packaged in boxes.
- DVDs, CDs, video games - this will be the neatest box.
- We collect and pack all outerwear, caps, hats, gloves, scarves, umbrellas. Of course, we leave the most necessary things on the hanger.
- Board games, puzzles, other toys - all thisYou can safely put them in a box only if the toys are yours and you don’t have any offspring yet or if they no longer need constant contact with the dummies of people and animals.
- Tools and items for hobbies and creativity can be packed after toys. You won’t have time for them anyway.
Stage three. Collecting items of secondary necessity
- Jewelry, costume jewelry, cosmetics, mirrors,combs, hairpins, tiaras, diadems, scepters, curlers, curling irons, flat irons, massagers and everything that you can live without until the moment of moving, at this stage you can safely transfer into boxes, bags and drawers.
- We lay out the boxes of toiletries, removable towels, removable shelves and mirrors from the bathroom and bedroom.
- Figures, figurines, scented candles and the rest of the trifle of this kind, not included in the box at the first stage, needs it now.
- Textile. It can be packed all at once. Except the most necessary.
- Empty the kitchen completely.Everything that you didn't pack earlier, put into boxes now. At this stage, you can get by with disposable tableware and food that doesn't require cooking. Of course, if the latter is not your main life priority.
- The last thing at this stage is office supplies and furniture. Feel free to empty your home office or work area.
Stage four. We are engaged in a large form
- It's time for home appliances. All that can be carried in our hands, we pack on boxes, everything that requires the participation of loaders, we leave until the moment of their arrival.
- We pack expensive equipment (computers, laptops, cameras, telescopes, etc.) separately and try to keep it with us.
- First Aid Kit. We extract the most necessary from it and send the rest to the box.
- We collect the last toys and promise the children that they will see them very soon again.
- We put tightly closed containers with cleaning products and all kinds of household chemicals in a separate box.
- We take out the trash. We try not to go crazy from the amount of it.
Stage Five. Saying Goodbye
- We watch specially trained people groaning as they drag the heaviest evidence of your existence.
- We tear the last mementos from the walls. We admire the amount of dirt that opens up to our eyes.
- The last general cleaning, thanks to the walls that sheltered you - and forward, to a new life!
