Moving Spaces

DORIAN AND LUKE HOWARD needed to clear the clutter.

The Howards are planning to move from Clifton, N.J., to the Atlantic City area, and Mrs. Howard, who is a real estate agent, knows that a tidy home is more attractive to buyers than a cluttered one.

“My garage is loaded, my basement is loaded and I just need to put the stuff in storage so I can make my house look presentable to show,” she said.

The Howards turned to a solution that more people who are moving or renovating or are just pack rats are choosing — portable storage. Companies like Pack-Rat, Store and Move, Go Mini’s and Portable On Demand Storage, or PODS — which the Howards are using until their move next month — will deliver a metal storage container to a driveway or yard.

Binding Estimate: An agreement made in advance with your mover, which guarantees the total cost of the move based upon the quantities and services shown on the estimate.

Non-Binding Estimate: This is what your mover believes the cost will be, based upon the estimated weight of the shipment and the accessorial services requested. A non-binding estimate is not binding on the mover. The final charges will be based upon the actual weight of your shipment, the services provided, and the tariff provisions in effect. You must be prepared to pay 10 percent more than the estimated charges at delivery (110 Percent Rule).

Congratulations, you are half-way through the moving process. Now comes the fun part – unpacking! Set aside some time in advance to unpack. This time should be dedicated solely to unpacking and organizing your new home. If you are moving with a family, it can be fun to make unpacking a family activity. However, if you have young children, finding a babysitter ahead of time, will undoubtedly make the unpacking process easier.

Remember that the refrigerator in your new home will be empty. If possible, en route to your new home, pick up some snacks, imperishable foods, cold drinks, a cooler and some ice to keep the drinks cold. Every hard worker can appreciate a break and a good snack.

Americans are on the go again, moving across state lines at the highest rate since the early 1990s, according to a USA TODAY analysis of Census data.
Demographers say the jump is fueled largely by two highly mobile segments of the population:

First, you have to start with your furniture. Although most balconies are covered, and you don’t have to worry about the effects of sun and rain, the wind can still do some damage. So try to put pieces made from hardy materials, but at the same time, make it comfortable to lie down or sit on. You may want to include different pieces such as chairs, hammocks or swings. Don’t forget to choose a nice outdoor table for some snacking or outdoor eating ideas.

Add some decorative touches that go well with your furniture. Also include flowers and plants to complement the outdoor feel.

If you want to fit the important ones, you have to move the other furniture either to another room or another person’s house.
