3 Must Know Moving Hacks

When it comes to moving to your new home, everyone can use some handy tricks to get by easier. Sure the basic bubble wrap and duct tape are your best bet for practically anything, but here are a few things they won't be able to help you pack.

It's probably one of the last things anyone would think to pack. Moving can be overwhelming, and we forget about packing our clothes. Therefore, because there is a lack of time you'll end up rushing and damaging your clothing by tossing them in a garbage bag.

Winter is upon us and moving during those months is going to be tricky - especially during the holidays. You'll be encountering unexpected weather, snow storms, and for my fellow Canadians, bone-chilling cold. Although a move in the winter is not so common, sometimes it simply can't be avoided, so if you find yourself in a snowy situation here are 5 tips to help you get by.

Ever bought a piece of furniture that didn't fit in your home or even up your stairs? A mere inch can make that difference so precise planning is important. It is always important you've got a floor plan before you move. It makes the move more efficient, less stressful and less spontaneous. It also avoids any future back-aches on larger furniture. Measuring your home dimensions isn't the sole factor, many forget to consider their stairways, elevators, door entries (whether it's a bedroom or the main entrance, the two can sometimes differ), windows and even the height to your ceiling for chandeliers and ceiling lights.

It always comes as a great relief once your hired movers leave, and you are unpacked. Though, you shouldn't get quite comfortable yet; there are a few more chores you'd need to do before you either forget or get too busy.
