Moving to a new homeBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group

Go ahead and get started getting in touch with professional moving companies about dates along with estimates and decide at the earliest opportunity to be sure you are on their schedule.

Arrange an Early Working Day

The humidity levels differ subject to which area of the country you're in, but the most extreme heat usually hits around 3 in the afternoon. If you can have the moving trucks loaded close to 3 and then everybody can get more comfortable in an AC equipped vehicle. If your move is a DIY, acquire the truck in the afternoon and load as much as it is possible to before it becomes too dark, then finish up the next day.

It Will be Similar to a Trip to the Ocean. Kind Of.

Pack a tote with sun block, hats, insect spray, extra t-shirts, as well as sunglasses to safeguard you from the burning rays of the summer sun. Reapply sunscreen as directed, and exchange tees when they're drenched and disgusting.

Stay hydrated. Then hydrate more. Get cases of water bottles and keep them in a cooler where everyone has access and provide them to the moving company team. They'll typically provide their own, however on a very hot day more will always be accepted.

Board Your Animals
