Who you, a Guru? After you read these 271 Moving tips, you'll be one. But we're looking to recruit a Guru to blog, write a 101 tip Moving book, and become a leader of this community.
Self-moving is a great way to save money, but be sure you save your sanity as well. Here are a few tips for loading your moving truck on the big day:
Whether you're packing up a trailer or a self-storage unit, be sure to get a size that can accommodate up to 15% more than you really need.
Pack heaviest items first, at the back, then move forward with the smaller and lighter items.
Be sure to have a few sizes of dollies to choose from. Never overload them; it's always better to make more trips than risk injury or breakage of your possessions.
Use soft items like blankets and pillows as cushioning between pieces of furniture.
Unload dresser drawers before loading them onto the truck.
