Martha Mondays

Yikes...moving day is tomorrow!

Martha stop shaking your finger at me, I know I should have packed my kitchen and bedroom a long time ago...sorry!

Ugh..I am soo stressed out right now trying to finish the last couple of details of our move...but I'm going to trudge on a give you the last part of our moving tips : )

At Your New Destination

(pg. 689)

i.e. this pretty much pertains to if you have actual movers moving your things

• Have a certified check, cashier's check, cash, or credit cards ready to make your final payment to the moving company
• When the driver arrives, they will list all boxes and loose objects on the inventory, noting the condition they are in. Make sure to keep copies of the bill of lading and contract, and to read them carefully
• Get some helpers! As movers bring in boxes, one person can check off items against the driver's inventory and another person can guide them to the right rooms. Damage, even on the exterior of cartons or missing good s should be noted.
• Before the driver leaves, have him sign the inventory -this will help validate an insurance claim should that be necessary
• If, upon unwrapping and unpacking your things, you discover damage, leave those cartons untouched--do not unpack or unwrap them--until a representative of the moving company can come and inspect them.
• Have tools ready for assembling furniture

HAPPY MOVING EVERYONE!!! : )

EDITED TO UPDATE: I fortunately unfortunately have to work tomorrow morning so I will most likely will not be doing most of the heavy lifting, tho I believe I will be Big Man's bitch tomorrow because I'm pretty sure I'll have a whiny man on my hands : )
