Moving Tips

This past weekend I helped my brother move from an apartment to his new house. It was a lot of work, but in the end it made things easier for him.

Here's a brief list of what to bring when helping someone move::

• Basic Tools - Screwdriver, Wrench, hammer and Pliers.
• Cordless Drill with attachment for screwdriver and wrench
• Water - Drink Plenty of Water
• Snacks - Get a bite to eat.
• Rope - You never know if you need more rope to tie things down.
• Elastic Strap - Sometimes straps are easier than rope.
• Duct Tape - Useful with boxes and closing bags.
• Marker - In case you have to label boxes
• Boxes - Go to UHaul, they will refund any unused boxes.
• Band Aids - You never know if you will get cut.

If you are taking multiple cars make sure that you have directions to the final destination. Having a GPS is a good idea..
