Below
are a few helpful tips to consider as you prepare for your upcoming
relocation:
-
Dispose
of flammables such as fireworks, cleaning fluids, matches, acids,
chemistry sets, aerosol cans, ammunition, etc.
-
Drain
fuel from mowers and other machinery, and discard partly used cans
of oil, paint, thinner, or other substances that might leak.
-
Carefully
tape and place in individual waterproof bags any jars of liquid
you plan to take with you.
-
Refillable
tanks must be purged and sealed by a local propane gas dealer. Discard
non-refillable tanks. Some carriers and the military do not permit
shipment of any propane tanks. Check with your moving company first.
-
Have
rugs and draperies cleaned. Leave both wrapped when they are returned
from the cleaners.
-
Obtain
a written appraisal of antique items to verify the value. Avoid
waxing or oiling wooden antiques and fine wood furniture prior to
moving because some products may soften the wood, making it vulnerable
to imprinting from furniture pads.
-
Think
twice before dismantling your outside TV antennae; a new one may
cost less than moving the present one.
-
Third-party
servicing will likely be needed before moving such items as hot
tubs, large-screen TV's, and some exercise equipment.
-
Talk
to your moving company about PRE and POST move servicing of washer,
dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, grandfather clock, satellite dish,
etc.
