Electricity Express Checklist for Moving into a New Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just remember that your electricity is a priority. Important Checklist for Moving into a New Home<\/h3>\n

Electricity service is as important as the moving truck.<\/h3>\n

A checklist is your best friend. \u00a0Without one, moving into a new home is guaranteed to be a headache. \u00a0The key to your sanity is organization and preparing as far ahead as possible. \u00a0Read through the advice offered by\u00a0Electricity Express<\/strong>,\u00a0and you will finish the move with a smile on your face. \u00a0It can be done.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Choose Where to Write Down Your Plan<\/b>\u00a0– No matter how great your memory, moves are so stressful that you’re bound to forget something. \u00a0Avoid this by writing down your to-do list. \u00a0It can be as simple as grabbing a notebook or calendar and jotting down deadlines. \u00a0Or you could use Microsoft’s OneNote\u00a0http:\/\/www.onenote.com\/<\/a>\u00a0to keep track of everything. \u00a0Either way, be sure to write down all important dates and then check it every day.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Create Deadlines for Your Checklist\u00a0<\/strong>– This site\u00a0www.realsimple.com\/home-organizing\/organizing\/moving\/moving-checklist-00000000000208\/<\/a>\u00a0outlines the stages of a move and its timeframes. \u00a0Everyone has different needs – families vs. singles, houses vs. apartments, etc. \u00a0However, the basics remain the same. \u00a0Adjust the list as needed.<\/p>\n

3. Grab\u00a0Anything That Can Be Used as a Box<\/strong> – If you’re using a moving van, then you’ll be stuck with using real boxes. \u00a0But if you’re using your car or a friend’s truck, then be practical. \u00a0That laundry basket or (clean) trash can be filled with books, clothes and other non-breakables. \u00a0Besides, do you really want to buy a box? \u00a0http:\/\/www.officemax.com\/office-supplies\/shipping-mailing-supplies\/boxes-shipping<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Double-Check Your Mover’s Reputation<\/strong>\u00a0– If possible, see what others have said about your mover \u00a0www.angieslist.com<\/a>. \u00a0But keep in mind that broken dishes aren’t necessarily the fault of the mover; it could have happened because of bad packing by the homeowner.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Use It or Get Rid of It\u00a0<\/strong>– Check expiration dates on food. \u00a0Eat anything that’s about to expire; throw out that can of soup that’s been in your pantry for several years.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Pack\u00a0<\/strong>– Keep it logical. \u00a0Write on the outside of boxes several things: what room (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) and what’s inside. \u00a0Be sure to note if there’s anything fragile or if the box can’t be tipped over. \u00a0The first things you pack should be stuff you don’t use very often, including holiday decorations and the waffle iron. \u00a0Pack your tools last.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Guard Valuable Items and Papers\u00a0<\/strong>– Create a box full of things that can’t be easily replaced, including passports, birth certificates, photos, jewellery, etc. \u00a0This is a box that should go with you in the car, never with the movers.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Clean-Up <\/strong>– This will go more easily if you clean a little every day. \u00a0One night defrost and clean the refrigerator\/freezer. \u00a0Another night does the windows. \u00a0Put this on your checklist and stick to it. \u00a0The worst thing you can do is leave it all to the last day. \u00a0If you are renting a house or apartment, be sure to follow the move-out guidelines to avoid any financial penalties.<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Turn Off\/On Your Utilities\u00a0<\/strong>– Make sure your service in your old home ends at the correct time. \u00a0Be especially sure that you’ll have power in your new home. \u00a0This post explains more about the process \u00a0http:\/\/electricityexpress.com\/en\/turning-electricity-new-home\/. \u00a0If the worst happens and you forgot to arrange for power in your new home,\u00a0Electricity Express\u00a0<\/strong>can do\u00a0same day service\u00a0<\/strong>if you call before 5:00 pm CST, Monday-Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Buy Dinner For Everyone Who Helped\u00a0<\/strong>– Yes, this is a form of bribery. \u00a0But it’s a nice thing to do.<\/p>\n

Moves are complicated no matter what you do. \u00a0But preparation will always make things easier. Important Checklist for Moving into a New Home<\/p>\n
