Moving Tip of the Week - Moving Time Line: 1 Week Out

Whether you bought a Basking Ridge home or are leaving the area, start planning early for your move.

1 Week Before Your Move . . .

• Work with children/dependents on farewells meetings with their friends, school chums, etc.
• Confirm move date with Seller of your new home.
• Confirm moving arrangements and date with your Moving Company.
• Pack a "Moving-In Supply Box" including cleaning products, plastic products, emergency phone numbers, paper towels, toilet paper, batteries, etc.
• Label items that you need to access quickly/easily and place them in a separate room/area. (Remember that items packed and loaded last will be first off the truck!) Be sure to keep your "Moving-In Supply Box" in that separate area. If not with you directly, that should be the last box on the truck.
• Clean your refrigerator and let it air out for at least 24 hours if you are moving it.
• Prepare outdoor equipment (grills, lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc.) for move.
• Remove paints, aerosols, and flammable/toxic chemicals.
