If you are doing your own packing, and you have not already done so, schedule delivery of your boxes and packing materials.

•   Begin organizing and packing.

Your attic, basement, and garage are wonderful places to start.  Make sure that all box seams are sealed securely with packing tape to ensure safe handling.

Fill in empty spaces with paper to prevent shifting in transit.  Label each box with a description of the contents and the room to which the contents belong.

One to two weeks prior to your move:

•   Mail change of address forms - click here  
•   Finish most packing.

The day before your move:

•   Set aside items that you will need for the final cleanup.
•   Clean refrigerator, disconnect water line, and allow to dry.
