    Default Anybody got any good secrets for moving smoothly?

    Its about a month before the big move, but I'm already packing a little bit every day to make it easier when the big day comes. This time is going to be a pain cuz I have a lot of furniture to move in addition to all my other junk... clothes, books, kitchen wear, shuz. (Eek! Way too many shoes!!!) I moved a lot in college and I figured some stuff out the hard way... like,

    -Boxes are easier to carry and stack than bags.

    -heavy items like books need to go in lots of little boxes instead of one big box so they're manageable to lift.

    Label the boxes (if you can)so you can find stuff if I need something before you've finished unpacking.

    If you tape the cord up onelectronics like microwaves and tvs it doesn't get in the way.

    Any others? Please help this move go smoothly for me. Thanx.

    Rent a U-haul so that you can load everything in and move everything all in one trip. It is totally worth it, esp. since now you have furniture.

    Have a yard sale/donate to charity with all the things you don't want/need anymore.

    you can rent giant plastic boxes for real cheap and that way you don't have to tape and untape cardboard and there's no mess afterwards

    I love my SpaceSaver bags for bulky things like pillows and comforters. You load as much stuff as you can in them then suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner. I got mine at Target, but I see infomercials for them all the time.

    Get a moving service. If you're not moving far, it should only cost about 300 to 400 dollars for a whole house of furniture.... price shop through the yellow pages. I did it last time I moved and BELIEVE ME it was worth the money.

    I'm moving too. I am just getting rid of everything I can possibly get rid of. Less, to pack, less to haul, if I can sell it for a few dollars its a few dollars towards new stuff. Everything else is going in the trash or to charity.

    It feels good to think of this move as starting a new life and every time I get rid of something its like a weight being lifted.

    Where are you moving to LO? Are you leaving Vegas?
