The Stress And Strain of Moving: Making A Hectic Day Easier


Moving can be as exciting as it is stressful.  As College Station continues to grow, and college students come for an education every semester, the moving never seems to stop.  If you are moving for college or for work, there are a number of things you can do to make the move easier.  Let’s focus on some of the less common moving suggestions, to give you a more in depth guide to moving in style.

 The Moving Bag

The moving bag is a simple concept that many people forget in the hustle and bustle of moving.  The moving bag should contain everything you need to stay sane for the next few days of packing, moving, and unpacking.  It should contain basic toiletries, a few sets of cloths, and things you just cannot live without.  By throwing in a bottle of water and snacks, you can help keep your cool and even relax during what would otherwise be a stressful time.

Photos

When everything is packed and your old and new homes are bare and clean, take pictures!  Pictures are you insurance against all accusations made concerning the quality and condition of the house.  By taking photos of your old house, you have proof that you complied with the new owner’s requests as specified in the purchasing agreement.  In addition, you have proof that you left the residence clean and ready to move into.  By taking photos of your new residence, you can mark where trouble spots are.  If you are renting, then this is insurance against the landlord charging you for pre-existing conditions.

Moving Help

What is the worst part about owning a truck?  Everyone you know will ask your help to move things.  This is very true in American culture, especially in College Station, TX.  If your friends are helping you move, then remember to thank them!  A meal out and drinks on you is normal.  In addition, give all people who help free dibs on furniture you no longer need.

Address

The last thing to consider is a change of address.  This usually requires a few hours to change your address for all-important things.  In addition, by setting up mail-forwarding with the United States Postal Service, you can keep getting any mail sent to the old address for an extended period of time.

Moving is time intensive, but it doesn't have to be stressful.  By making the right preparations, you can sail through moving with a minimum of problems.
