4-6 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MOVE [Print Version]
	Begin collecting boxes and packing supplies (tape, bubble wrap, etc.)
	Begin disposing of those items you designated for sale or donation - be sure to get a receipt for your donations for tax purposes.
	Start packing things that are used infrequently (such as books, knickknacks, etc.)
	Pack everything you can into boxes, as this provides the best protection for your belongings and makes them easier to load.
	As you pack, pack one room at a time and mark the boxes with their room identification and their contents
	Reinforce box bottoms with tape. Pack heavy items like books into smaller boxes to keep the weight of each box down to a manageable amount.
	Wrap furniture with blankets or bubble wrap and secure the padding to the furniture without taping directly to wood or painted surfaces
	When possible, always use original shipping boxes for valuable electronics such as home computers, printers, etc. Remove detachable wires and cables. Tape electrical cords to the back of the item to prevent damage.
	File a change of address with the US Post Office
	Schedule all utilities at your current home for disconnection there and connection at your new home - disconnect the day after you leave and connect the day before you move in - you don't want to move in without any lights or electricity or water!!
	Make arrangements for someone to keep your pets on moving day so they won't be underfoot.
