Most of you out there know the rottenness that is moving. Should you get a friend who has a truck to help you move or should you rent a truck? If you have the choice, don’t go with either. During one of my family’s many moves, we crashed the moving truck into an awning and the place we were moving into charged us an arm and a leg for repairs. What a great way to make an impression on your landlord, right? Then there was the time we were moving and threw out an old mattress and it caught fire. That was great – fill a garbage can full of water in the bathtub and haul it to the mattress, repeat. What you should really do is save up for one of many Moving Companies to come handle the hassle for you. There’s a web site called homebulletin.net that gives you tools to handle the move without having to do the driving and hauling from house to truck and back. You can find out what Moving Companies are in your area and get free quotes. They also offer a checklist of things you need to do before during and after the move to transition smoothly.
