Home is where the heart is or can we say that heart is where the home is?
There is a difference between a home and the house. House is a building made of bricks and wood whereas a home is made of emotions and feelings. Every one of us has a special bond with the things around us in the home. From sofa set, coffee cups, dining table we even love a particular corner in the house. To that extent, the home has become an integral part of our life.
In a city like Bengaluru, until we have a permanent house, we tend to shift. It may be due to the change of job or change of interest. Most of the times, while shifting the home, we face many difficulties from packing to unloading. So in this article, we are bringing you 12 tips that you can follow for a hassle free shift.
Perfect checklist to make your home shifting easier
- Neatly organize your household items before moving to your new house. It’s a good practice to put a number tag on every item so that it will be easy for you to unload it in the new house.
- While packing the items, we tend to forget the placement of them in the boxes and end up in heavy confusion after the shift. So, it’s recommended to write the item name on a sticky note and stick it on the boxes so that you don’t need to remember.
- There will be some fragile items in the house like glass, porcelain mugs and saucers. Make sure you pack them with care and place them at the top of all items.
- Make a list of all unused items in the house and pack them separately so that you need not open them in your new house and also, you can save some space there.
- Prior moving, do not sell old newspapers. You can use them in packing the things.
- Do not throw the bags and covers that you got from online shopping. They will come handy while packing and you can save some time in searching for an alternative.
- Make sure you empty your refrigerator and lock it properly before moving. Also, ensure that your almirah is emptied if there is no lock for it.
- If you have a storage Cot, take advantage of it. Dump all your items into it.
- Carry all the valuable items like gold, cash and financial documents with you. Do not mix it with other items.
- If you are moving your vehicle then it is a good practice to empty the fuel and if your furniture can be disassembled, make it. At the least, you can pack their edges.
- If there are any items that are of no use then sell them to gujri. You can save some money.
- Before moving, call your owner to make sure that the home is in proper condition so that you may not have to face the complaints before the shift.
