If you've moved into a new house recently, what are your magical tricks to make it smooth? I'm thinking I spend the first day doing a deep clean since it will never be so empty again...so I need a broom, mop, towels, etc. for that. What do you wish you'd done differently, or what worked well for you?
If all goes well, in a couple weeks, I'll be moving into my new house. It's out in the country without much nearby, so I'm hoping to plan what I'll need in advance so I'm not wasting time running back and forth to the nearest town (which will take an hour minimum). I've been renting for a while, and before that was in the same place for over a decade, so it's been a long time since I've done this!
I have storage and other than a suitcase or two, most of my belongings will be there, to be moved at some flexible time after closing. There's a large garage where I can store things and gradually bring them into the house to unpack (boxes are labeled reasonably well regarding contents). The exterior needs some TLC, so the more efficient I can be with the actual moving portion of the program, the faster I can get to doing the things that need to be done, and the fun stuff like planting a garden. |
