No matter the reason or type of home one is going to, hauling to a new residence and starting a new chapter is a big deal. Nonetheless, as much as there is a lot of excitement going around, there are some things that need to be dealt with prior to, in the process of, and after the haul is completed. Making sure that all these are settled will get rid of any worries that one might have, therefore leading to a smooth transition. Let’s start with the things that should be done before.
1. See to it that any pests in the house and yard have been done away with.
For this, one can either get an exterminator or have an expert come over and do a thorough check.
2. Wash the new place.
A new home might not need too much cleaning, but it is still recommended to go over it and get rid of any dust that could be lying around. This should be done before all the boxes get there as it is easier to wash an empty place without things being in your way.
3. Stock up on some food.
Everyone will be tired at the end of the day, and no one wants to start arranging the kitchen and moving. We advise our clients to get some snacks and foodstuffs for that first night.
4. Set aside a box for essentials.
While our expert crew will be there to help with the packing and labeling of the containers, go the extra step and personalize some markings on the things that you will need on the first day. That way, one won’t have to go through all the cardboards looking for something.
The long-distance relocation crew has done its job and gotten your belongings put properly in the vans, and now the trip has begun. Once the journey is over, here are some things to do on arrival:
1. Take care of the bedroom curtains.
You do not want nightfall coming, and suddenly everyone can see right into the house. Have the curtains packed in a box that can be quickly accessed, and then put them up as soon as you get there.
2. Go over the fuse box.
Know where this is so that in the event of a blackout, or if a fuse blows, you have an idea of where to check. One can also try and spot where the main water pipe is.
3. Put in new locks.
This can be done once you have settled in, but do not hold it off for too long. You never know how many people had the keys to the previous locks, and no one wants strangers to have easy access into their abodes.
4. Carefully store the boxes and other packing supplies.
Halifax Long Distance Moving company discourage their clients from throwing away the cartons and other materials that were used in the haul. Instead, think of a way to have them recycled, or look for someone else who is planning the same and give them if they can be used again.
