Diy House Moves
By Sharon Hurley Hall, Fri Dec 9th
With 20 moves in 25 years, I've learned a thing or two aboutmoving house. Here are five steps you can take to make sure thatall your belongings arrive with you. 1. Wrap it up To avoid breakages, wrap your fragile items verycarefully. The best packing items are newsprint and bubble wrap.If you can get it, beg or buy large sheets of unprintednewsprint or ends of rolls from your local printer. (When we didthis, the roll we got saw us through three moves). If you can'tyou'll have to start saving your Sunday newspapers (the bigger,the better) the minute you put your house on the market. Bubble wrap is also a safe, clean alternative, and if you getbored, you can pop a few bubbles while you wrap. Electricalitems are best transported in their own packaging if you've gotit, or bubble wrap if you haven't. Sharp knives and toastingforks should also be wrapped so no-one gets hurt. All mattressesshould be wrapped, otherwise you'll be sleeping on dirt foryears. They're quite heavy, and you'll usually drop at least onecorner. Black garbage bags and packing tape are useful forwrapping large items such as these, but even better are big dustsheets from your local hardware store.
2. Get stuffed Cups, mugs and glasses should be stuffed insidebefore being wrapped. That provides an extra layer ofprotection. Anything with a delicate handle should have thatwrapped separately before wrapping the whole item. Lids to milkjugs, sugar bowls and

teapots should be wrapped separately. Andremember, with wrapping, more is more: the more stuff you putaround your stuff, the more likely it is to survive the moveintact. I haven't lost a cup yet. 3. Space saver Line the bottoms and tops of your crockery boxes,as well as any nooks and crannies with old tea towels. Thisprovides more protection for your breakables and packs thetowels as well, and you'll have the satisfaction of havingkilled two birds with one stone. 4. Open spaces OK, there are a lot of items you won't be able todo without, but that doesn't mean you have to leave the packingtill the last minute. Pack your canned foods in boxes but don'tseal them. That way, you can easily get hold of something yousuddenly find you need. 5. Delete the junk When you're moving things out of the loft orbasement, use this as an opportunity to clear out anything youhaven't needed in the last two years. If you don't need it, whymove it? The same goes for the garage (does anyone keep a car inthere?) and for the garden shed. Be ruthless, or you'll end upwith backache for nothing and have to throw it away on the otherside. Moving is also a good excuse for 'losing' that unwantedgift from five years ago. Follow these five steps and all your stuff should arrive safely.Happy moving!
