Tasks to Complete on the Moving Day

To-do

Moving day has arrived and you still feel stressed out and worried. It is perfectly normal to feel that way because you still have many tasks to complete and make sure you don’t forget anything. However, try to stay focused because there are few important final tasks to complete on your moving day just to make sure everything is left as you planned. After all your possessions are loaded into the moving truck and you prepare to leave, do a final checkup.

Make sure everything is packed

Walk through your house to make sure you are really done with packing everything. Perhaps you forgot to pack some tools you have been using for dissembling the bed, or a box of essentials you have been planning to put in your car. Check every room in the house. No matter how simple and redundant this task might sound to you, make time and make sure that you leave none of your valuable items behind.

Don’t forget to clean and take the rubbish with you

This task can be combined with the first one. As you check every room for stuff that might be left behind, if you see some trash or any food or items that spoils quickly, take it with you. The last thing you want is to leave your garbage or food behind that will go bad and create a smell that will be hard to get rid of. Also, if you see anything that should be cleaned after the stuff is out, make sure you take a few minutes and make a necessary cleanup. Perhaps some bubble wrap is left behind or you need to sweep the dust of the floors. This is especially important if you are renting a place. The first impression is very important so make sure new home owners feel welcome as soon as they enter the house.

Close the windows and doors

To-doBefore you leave the house, make sure it is safe and that you close all windows and doors. The last thing you want is to leave behind an open window and risk to attract different kinds of uninvited people or animals. It doesn’t matter if house is empty or not, the damage still can be done. Don’t forget to check the attic and garage too. Plus, walk through the backyard to see if there is something to take care of in the last minute.

Leave the keys and say goodbye

Final moment has arrived. It is time to leave all the keys all family members had used behind. This act might feel like cutting the bond with your place, a place filled with beautiful memories. It is time to say goodbye and leave. As you slowly move to the door and cast a glance at your favorite resort, focus on the positive things and opportunities waiting for you after you finally settle in your new home. Hold on to your tears and say goodbye.
