Preparing ahead of time can make a tough job much easier. The following tips for storing your belongings might save you time and effort.
- Take apart as many things as possible. Things take up less space if disassembled.
- Use the same size boxes or totes whenever possible, they stack better and create efficient use of space.
- Pack boxes orderly and FULL. Partially empty boxes are a waste of space and can collapse from any weight put on top of them. Always stack lighter boxes on top of the heavier boxes.
- Label each box with its contents. Identify which room the contents of the box belongs in, it makes unpacking easier.
- Place electronics in the back of your unit, away from the door to protect them.
- Protect furniture by covering them with plastic or paper. (Just be sure not to seal them airtight, as this may trap humidity and cause mildew.) Use cardboard or a wooden pallet on the floor. Using a pallet allows for airflow to prevent condensation.
- Place important papers and documents in one box and store it near the door for easy access.
