Moving day doesn’t have to be stressful. By planning in advance, having everything done when the house movers arrive, and giving the movers the best chance to do their job your move in Nashville can go exactly as planned.
It is important as the homeowner to have an understanding of what will happen when the house movers knock on the door to start the move. By looking around and determining where there may be possible issues, it is possible to proactively address these situations and prevent possible problems.
Be Packed
The most important point for anyone moving is to be packed and ready when the local house movers arrive. Ideally, plan to eat out the night before and the morning of the move so there isn’t an issue with preparing meals, disposing of food and cleaning and trying to pack dishes last minute.
Additionally, do a walk-through of the home the day before. Open all closets and check all drawers to make sure nothing is left behind. Also makes sure all boxes are labeled, taped and identified as to what room they need to be placed in at the new home.
Have the valuable and irreplaceable documents and items packed in your vehicles and not mixed in with other items the house movers will take. If you have medications or medical equipment the family needs have that separate and apart from the household contents as well to avoid the Nashville movers loading boxes that shouldn’t be on the truck.
Pets and Kids
Moving can be stressful for both children and pets. Make sure that both are kept away from the areas where the house movers are working. Small children may naturally be curious and want to help, but they can easily be injured when larger items are being moved.
Dogs, cats and other pets should be kenneled or kept secured in an area while the house movers are loading or unloading the truck. They will typically prop open doors, and this just poses a risk of the pet getting outside and running away from all the unfamiliar activity in the house.
Be prepared to be available for the house movers when they are packing up your home in Nashville. When you can answer any questions they may have it makes loading the truck in an organized fashion, and ensuring only the items you want to move end up on the truck.
