Mistakes to Avoid When One Moves
Are you ready to move? Even if you have made lists, finalized your cartons and everything well packaged ... have you all planned? Here are 10 mistakes to avoid during a move.
Move to the Bad Period
In France, several million people move every year, and 50% of these moves take place during the spring/summer season. Certainly, you may think it's easier to move in mid-August when you're on vacation. But you will have more difficulty finding people to give you a hand! So anticipate and choose the right time to move!
To Fill Your Cards
You say that having the fewest possible boxes, the move will be easier to manage and will take less time! Error, especially for heavy objects! Avoid putting all your books in a minimum of cartons: limit the weight of your cartons to prevent them from exploding and to prevent accidents. Which weight is optimal? 15 kg, and not more than 20kg.
Disassemble Furniture Without Having References
So, you've lost the installation instructions for your furniture and you think that after dismantling them, it will be easy to assemble them?
Tough error, except if it is only a question of screwing the feet of a table. Take photos and notes during disassembly so you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
Forgetting to Properly Prepare Moving Household Appliances
Yes, it's important to plan things and plan what to do to manage appliances! Defrost, drain pipes, secure doors and cables. Moving home appliances is an art.
Fail to Prevent Neighbors
You plan to move early on a weekend but you would not want to wake up by someone moving his furniture at dawn over your head?
So tell the neighbourhood where you are moving and also your future neighbours! Ditto if you need several parking spaces in front of the house.
Forgetting to Mark Your Cards
Do you think that it is not worthwhile to indicate the contents of your boxes and that you will see where to place them when you move in?
Do not neglect the steps: indicate the content and destination of each box to save time on arrival and especially to unpack in the right order.
Neglecting Packaging
Quickly done, well done, a little newspaper to pack glasses, vases and plates seems at first sight sufficient.
This is not the case: between the comings and goings where you can jostle your packs, trips and other brakes, you may find objects in pieces. Find our movement tips not to take the lead!
Do not Take the Move to Do the Sorting
During all these years in your old home, you have stored a lot of things.
No, you do not have to move everything to your new home, especially if you have furniture that is not suitable for your new home or objects that you no longer use. A few weeks before your move, take the time to identify what's right for you. And give or resell what is not needed on specialized sites, it's always saved!

Forget the Survival Carton
Packing everything is one thing but you will be more comfortable if you keep a cardboard or suitcase with some toiletries and clothes for the first few days. Also, remember to prepare a cardboard with the stewardship essentials.
Good preparations and a good move for you!
