Supplies

Boxes in two sizes — small for heavy, large for light Packing tape (more than you think), paper and bubble wrap A marker per packer — label every box by room Port-a-robes for hanging clothes Zip bags for screws and cables — label them and keep them together in one parts box

FIRST ROOMS

0/5

Storage, spare rooms, garage

Pack rarely-used rooms first Books flat in small boxes Tools sealed and labelled. Fuels, gas bottles and chemicals can’t go on the truck; set them aside to take yourself or dispose of. Photograph electronics cabling before unplugging Don’t fill boxes past comfortable lifting weight

LIVING AREAS

0/5

Kitchen and living

Plates on their edges, never flat Glasses wrapped individually, openings up Label fragile boxes on the sides, not the top Small appliances back in original boxes if kept TV: original box or blanket-wrap — the crew can do this

LAST
