Countdown to Moving Day...Two Weeks Before Your Move!

Yesterday, we talked about what things you should do one month before your move.  As time marches on, here are your tips for tasks 2 weeks before your move....
  • Continue to pack your belongings.  Make sure to clearly label what is in each box and what room that box will go in to the new residence.  Label on several sides and tops of the boxes for easy viewing.
  • If moving out of and/or into a building with an elevator, make arrangements to reserve use of the elevator during the duration of your move.
  • Arrange to have utilities (gas, electric, phone, cable, water, trash removal, etc.) disconnected at your present  home a day AFTER you move out and connected at your new home a day BEFORE you move in.
  • Fill out change-of-address cards with the Post Office or do this online.  Give your new address to anyone that might need it - insurance agents, credit card companies, magazine subscriptions, friends, relatives, etc.
  • Make any necessary arrangements for transporting pets and plants.
  • Oh...did I mention packing, if you're doing it yourself?! 
Stay tuned...as stress levels begin to rise, tomorrow we've got tips for the one week before your move.
