Tips For Surviving A Summer Move

Planning a move this summer? Whether you are moving somewhere local, trekking to a different city, or crossing state lines, a bit of careful planning can turn a stressful ordeal into a well-planned and seamless day. Consider the following tips to ensure you get from A to B with as few hiccups as possible.

Start Early In The Day

Due to the notoriously high summer temperatures, you will want to do your best to avoid hauling boxes and moving furniture when the heat is at its peak. Try to start early in the morning, when it is still relatively cool out, and get the heavy lifting out of the way right off the bat. Pushing yourself too hard when temps are high isn’t good for your health and could leave you weakened and dehydrated for the rest of your move – not good!

Stay Cool

If you are forced to move in the middle of a smoldering hot day due to time restraints or scheduling issues, take proper precautions to avoid things like heat stroke and similar issues. Keep lots of water available, take plenty of breaks in the shade or in air-conditioned areas, and be sure to let someone know if you are feeling dizzy or light-headed.

If you have plenty of help, it might be a smart idea to work in shifts throughout the warmest parts of the day, as well. That way, everyone stays well-rested and healthy. It’s the best option for all involved!

Schedule Strategically

Now, summertime is well-known for being the busiest time of year for moving companies so do your best to plan ahead and schedule professional help well in advance. Need to change things up last minute? Well, when you work with the team here at The Mobile Attic, we will do our best to accommodate you, no matter the season.

Be Careful When Packing

Some items are more sensitive to heat than others and can become damaged if left out in the sun too long. A box full of candles, for example, should be kept out of the heat as much as possible, and be careful with your phones, computers, televisions, and other electronics, as well. These items are probably best left in the air conditioning as long as possible, and we would advise you to keep them in your cool car throughout the transit process.

Tips To Make Your Move As Easy As Possible

Are you preparing for a big move? It is no secret that moving into a new home is a stressful and time-consuming process. Fortunately, The Mobile Attic team has some tips to help you get through this ordeal as smoothly and as efficiently as possible. Review some of our guidelines below, then contact us about renting a storage container. You deserve to go into your move feeling confident and on top of it all.

Formulate A Plan

Figure out what rooms you want to pack up first and what items you want to put off boxing up until the very end. You will also want to make sure you have appropriate help lined up, as well as any documents you need for changing your address, utilities, and the like. One reason renting a storage container is so handy is because you can pack things up in a timeframe that is convenient for you.

Get what you can out of the way, and try to get as much packed up as possible before moving day arrives. That way, you will not have as much to think about when you are trying to get everything officially relocated.

Pack Smarter

When it comes to actually packing up your items, forming a solid strategy is key. We suggest going room-by-room to make unpacking easier. Also, do not forget to label your boxes as you go, so that you can easily access items you might need right away.

Use packing paper and bubble wrap to secure those more valuable or breakable items and, when it comes to transporting important documents or family heirlooms, do not stash them with the rest of your stuff. Rather, keep them close by you at all times and be sure you are the one personally transporting them from the old house to the new one.

Put the heaviest items on the bottom, when loading the storage container, and utilize the space inside of trash cans, washing machines, and big appliances by putting blankets, pillows, and clothes inside of them – it’s a real space saver!

Avoid Damage & Theft

By investing in the blankets, locks, and straps provided by the team here at The Mobile Attic, you can rest easier knowing your items are better protected, no matter what you might face throughout the moving process. We do our best to ensure your belongings stay safer and more secure, and we build our units with the toughest materials around, so theft or weather damage should not be something you have to worry about.
