So, moving day is just a week away and you probably have loose ends to tie up.

1) Unplug

Right now is the time to think about all the appliances which will be moving with you. Your refrigerator as well as freezer could need ample time in order to defrost prior to your move, so you may want to go on and clean them out and unplug them. Some types of washers and dryers can easily be unplugged and moved, however others may require a professional to detach the gas line as well as other preparations for transport. Consult your moving company in Wichita Falls regarding the easiest means to move these particular items. Additionally, give some thought regarding how you could be packing your TV and additional electronics and plan accordingly.

2) Finish Packing

If your professional movers in Wichita Falls will be packing for you, you can bypass this suggestion, but if you shall be packing on your own, go on reading. By now, you should have packed up all your non-essential things. This final week is the time to get going on a lot of the indispensable belongings. Make sure to go through each closet and cabinet to be certain that you are not forgetting anything. Now is also a good time to double check the attic, basement, garage and shed. The power tools should be emptied of gas, because your moving company in Wichita Falls probably can’t transport them otherwise.

3) Compile an Essentials Box

Following a long day or couple of days of moving, the last thing you will want to do is sift through cartons to uncover items that are required for your first night in your new home.

You ought to additionally pack another box or bag which includes things that you could require right up until moving day. This box or bag can contain stuff like medicines, change of clothes, snacks for the trip, and so forth.

4) Contact Your Utility Providers

Right now is a good time to contact your utility providers to alert them of your upcoming move. In the event you are moving within the same town, you might be able to simply switch your service from your old home to your new residence. Yet, should your move be over a long distance, you will need to find out from your providers what you have to do to cancel or disconnect the service. You definitely don’t want to be charged for utility usage at your previous residence after you have moved.
