This also helps make the house less cluttered if you are trying to sell. Hmm, my tip is to be cheap and recycle---Tuck breakables into boxes with towels and sheets. (We moved ourselves--no moving van or movers so this worked well). I also did not have to pack clothes that were in dresser drawers. We removed them, carried out the dresser and stacked the drawers carefully between blankets.Lorileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03696859749272239553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486699336486256498.post-35373262289076434272008-08-06T16:28:00.000-04:002008-08-06T16:28:00.000-04:00I love your 7 items of the tag, you are right gett...I love your 7 items of the tag, you are right getting old is not for the weak.<BR/>I have moved so many times with the military..#1 rule label and number the boxes..some may come up missing. and always pack a week of clothes and other needs for everyone in the family. Too many times, we got to the new base before the movers. This point is for military families..always have the military persons' gear seperate from the family boxes. My husband would usually have to report before all the boxes were unpacked.<BR/>~~smiles~~ KatieHummingbird Chatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091586086880925595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486699336486256498.post-7948310843012266082008-08-06T02:14:00.000-04:002008-08-06T02:14:00.000-04:00My best moving tip is to be extremely detailed abo...My best moving tip is to be extremely detailed about what is in the contents of each box.

Moving men are usually great but I would never take a chance with my most prized possessions. Also, pack a box/bag with items that you know you'll need when you get there (ex., toilet paper, soap, towel - paper and/or cloth ~~ you get the idea).
