Last Compartment Check

Take a last walk through your home and do a final check of each space, closet, cupboard, and upper shelf.

This is the optimal time to likewise get a glance at each bathroom. Make sure there's TP, a hand towel, and hand soap in every one. This is not just useful for you and the movers on moving day, it is equally a considerate real estate way for you to depart a residence: bathroom-ready.

Clear Room for the Movers

Then, take into account the location where the moving truck is likely to park. You will need a long space, more than likely curbside, with the rear (or side) of the truck directed in the direction of your house however that is possible, if you live in a parking-space controlled community, you might need to schedule a row of single spots for the moving truck on the big day.

In case you have fish, household pets, hazardous materials, or house plants then make plans to bring them with you instead of transferring them inside the truck. And if you've got any questions about what can and can't be on the truck, give your moving coordinator a call. They would be glad to respond to any inquiries you may have.

The fridge has already been emptied which means there should be more than enough room for cases of soda and also water and perhaps even snacks for the team.
