Moving Tips
Stay organized by creating a moving binder.
During a move you are going to need paperwork more often than you ever dreamed possible. Put together a brightly colored binder with sleeve protectors that contain copies of your orders, birth certificates, social security cards, mortgage documents, rental agreements, etc. It will make you feel even more organized than you already are.
Guard yourself from claims disputes later on by creating your own photo inventory.
You could inventory everything you own—27 forks, 12, knives, 6 spoons, 182 sippy cups. Or you could fling open your cabinets and take pictures of what you own. You can do the whole house in about an hour. If you need to make a claim, a photo is hard to dispute
Have ziplock bags on standby to collect any loose hardware during furniture disassembly.
Nothing gets lost quicker than the hardware that keeps beds together or mounts a TV to a bracket. Use little ziplocks to tape hardware from beds to bed frames so they all arrive together. This works for cords and curtain rings, too. Use a Sharpie to note what the items are and where they go. Plus, all too often the “parts” box can go missing which makes it difficult on the distant end.
Take a picture of the back of your TV so that you can remember how to set it back up at your new location.
Remembering how everything gets plugged in to the TV is a hassle—and you will forget which cord goes with which device. Take a picture and eliminate the mystery… and it doesn’t hurt to snap a video or photo of the serial number and the TV powered on and working. This way if it shows up in the new place and no longer functions it will prove helpful during the claims process
Don’t move still packed boxes from your previous move – you probably don’t need them.
The number one tip professional organizers like to give is: if you haven’t used an item in two years, you don’t need it anymore. Since military families move every 2.5 years, this means that if you haven’t used an item in your current house, you are probably not going to need it in your next house. This especially applies to those brown cardboard boxes of stuff from the past four duty stations that you never unpacked
