NEW HOME GUIDE

Tips For Packing Household Items Beds: Disassemble the bed frame. Tie rails and cross-pieces together with packing tape. Be sure to mark on tape to show where pieces fit together for reassembly.

Bicycles, Tricycles, Baby Carriages: Loosen, lower and turn handlebars at right angles to save space. Clean and cover chains and pedals to protect other items from being snagged or soiled.

Books: They’re heavy, so use small boxes. Don’t mix books with other items. Pack books flat, alternating bindings, and fill empty spaces with packing paper or bubble wrap.

Bureaus & Dressers: Fill drawers with small breakable items and cushion well with loose clothes.

Secure drawers with pad or blanket and tape. Do not overload drawers with heavy items.

Chairs: Wrap arms and legs to prevent scratches. Bundle armless chairs in pairs, seat to seat, with a folded blanket or other padding between and tie seats together.

Clothes: Dresses, coats, suits - anything hanging in closets - travel best in reusable boxes, which can be used seasonally as “extra closets” for wardrobe storage. Other clothes can remain folded in their regular dresser drawers.

Curtain Rod Hardware: Put the hardware in a plastic bag and tape to the rod or pack them in dresser drawers.

Dishes: Individually wrap each piece. Place saucers, plates, and platters on edge. Do not stack flat.

Cups and bowls may be placed inside each other and wrapped three or four in a bundle.

Fine Furniture: You may want to wrap your best furniture in bubble wrap, not only to protect it from scratching, but to keep dust and dirt off the upholstery.

Glasses: Wrap each glass separately in packing paper or bubble wrap (remember to wrap first in a plastic bag to save washing later). Pack in sturdy boxes.

Kitchenware: Pots, pans, etc. can be stacked in a box with packing paper between them.

Lamps: After dissembling lamps, pack small bases in dresser drawers surrounded by loose clothing, and large bases in boxes stuffed with packing paper or bubble wrap. Box shades individually in boxes with plenty of packing paper for stuffing. Don’t use newspaper because it smudges.

oregon.wfgnationaltitle.com

Tips For Packing Household Items Lawn Mowers: Drain fuel and oil before moving. Remove handle from hand mowers and place blade end in sturdy box. Mark properly.

Mirrors: Small mirrors can be well wrapped in paper and packed in boxes. For a large mirror, make a cardboard case by cutting pieces of corrugated cardboard. Mark glass on the outside to prevent mishandling. Always pack and store on end.

Paint and Flammables: Don’t move! The same goes for other flammables such as alcohol, solvents, lighter fluid, ammunition and greasy mops or rags. Dispose of them properly.

Paintings and Prints: Place in mirror boxes, wrap individually in corrugated cardboard, or wrap in cardboard cushioned with thick blankets and tie bundles with cord. Stand on sides.

Radios, TV’s: Box upright and make sure items are well padded on all sides. For console-size equipment, surround with furniture pads, and then move and load upright.

Rugs and Pads: After vacuuming rugs and pads, sprinkle with moth flakes. Roll up and tape.

Stereos, Compact Discs, and Cassettes: Separately pack components and pack in well padded box marked fragile. Pack CD’s upright in their cases in a sturdy box with tape-reinforced bottom. Tie CDs in small bundles before packing, then fill air space with packing paper. Mark FRAGILE. Tables: For large tables, remove legs and tie together. Put hardware in small sealed envelope taped to underside of table top. Pad tops. Pad and tie spare table leaves. For smaller tables, pad top and wrap legs to prevent scratching.

Tools and Gardening Equipment: Drain hoses, coil and pack in boxes. Fill remaining spaces with lawn sprinklers, small garden hand tools, etc. Tie rakes, shovels, and other long-handled tools together with tape.

Valuables: Set aside jewelry, important papers and safe deposit box contents to be packed in a small container you can keep with you throughout the move. Do not label as valuables on jewelry. This goes for prescription medication as well.

Tips For A Stress Free Move Moving can be very stressful, so what do you do when circumstances or opportunities require that you relocate?

How do you get through a move in one piece? You might begin by following these helpful stress relief tips.

Start early Few feel relaxed under a deadline, but having the benefit of time can help calm the nerves. The time to start planning for your move is as soon as you know you need to move.

Get Organized The number one method for alleviating emotional stress when moving is to feel like you have control over what’s happening. As illusory as that control may be, being organized will help you handle the unexpected. First, come up with a relocating schedule that will help you break the moving process into phases. Detail exactly which task needs to be accomplished when. Use a checklist to make sure you are taking care of necessary goals by their due dates.

Create a system that works to help you keep track of everything. Whether you make up your own or get help from someone with moving experience, having a model to work from will be your saving grace.

Make it easy Don’t be married to an initial moving plan simply because it was your first. As you do the footwork, you may discover there is an easier way to get the move done, and you should embrace this! Sure, driving your car cross-country might have seemed the only affordable option initially, but a search for reputable auto shippers and a sale on air fares could make all the difference between a stressful move and a more relaxed one. The same philosophy goes for packing. Rather than take on the entire process yourself, be sure to get quotes for having movers assist you.

Schedule time for stress relief In the weeks leading up to your move, you may be so focused on getting everything done that you neglect your own health. Coping with a move requires that you stay physically and emotionally fit, so get plenty of sleep, eat well and get some exercise. This would also be a good time to schedule a massage or a spa session. If time allows, try to get a weekend or at least a night away so that you can take your mind off your move for a little while.

Ask for help Obsessive-compulsive people and the detail-oriented among us often have trouble asking for help. While you are making your thorough preparations, also be sure to contact friends and family on both sides of your move to help you in any way possible. Many hands really do make the work lighter, which can relieve a lot of stress. You’ll be glad for the company, too.

Look forward to the end results Yes, you know moving will be hard and potentially fraught with stresses, but you will survive it. Many others have gone before you and lived to tell about it. Know that there is nothing that can happen that you can’t handle and focus on the potential for new growth and adventure in your new home. Moving is one of the more stressful things we can experience, but there are ways to make it easier. Prepare, get organized and stay flexible. Before you know it, you’ll be unpacking your things in your new home and wondering what all that worry was about!

Tips For Moving With Kids Do not wait to inform your children about moving. Tell your kids about the move as soon as possible!

It is pretty natural to assume that the less time kids have to think about moving, the easier it will be for your children.

However, experts say it is actually the opposite. Kids need time to get used to the idea of moving. Don't put off telling them about moving.

Welcome your children's questions about moving.

Open lines of communication will go a long way toward helping your children feel comfortable with moving and it's okay even if you can't answer all their questions right now. Your kid's questions can give you an idea of how they're feeling about moving — whether they're excited or uneasy. Some questions may also offer an ideal way to get them involved in the moving process, such as suggesting they get online to locate nearby libraries or parks.

Be positive & upbeat about the move.

Your attitude about the move will influence your children's attitude as well. If you dread moving, then the move will seem dreadful to them too. Be enthusiastic, upbeat, and positive about the new experiences and opportunities in store, and your children will be more likely to feel the same way..

Let your children know they can help with the move.

This is a good time to emphasize that the move is a family event and that everyone will be part of the planning, packing, and perhaps even choosing the new home. Start your kids on thinking of things they can do and how to get ready for the move. Assure your kids that their contributions, however small, will be valued and greatly appreciated.

Moving Day Checklist for Kids Packing Time! Time to Sort Your Stuff!

Moving is a good reason to get rid of things you don't want anymore, which will also make room for new things you might get in the future! Go through your all toys and games and group them into three piles: - First Pile: Things you want to take with you to the new home.

- Second Pile: Things to toss out (broken toys and games with missing pieces).

- Third Pile: Things you don't want but could be given away to other kids.

Ask: "What Else"!

Ask your parents what else can you do to help with all the sorting and packing that needs to be done. They will appreciate your help!

Mark Your Stuff as "Yours"!

Design your own personal "seal" for marking your boxes as YOUR property! As your belongings are packed, draw your "seal" on the outside of each box. Be creative! You can create your own work of art to mark your belongings.

Get Ready for Your First Night!

Your first night in your new home is very special. Be sure to have your favorite pajamas, your trust blanket or stuffed toy, or your favorite book packed away in your suitcase or backpack. This will be your very own piece that you'll personally be in charge of to take with you to your new place to get ready for your first night in your new home!

Don't Forget to Bring Some Entertainment!

Don't forget to take some things for you to do on the airplane or in the car on the way to the new home, such as books, video games, action figures, or crayons and paper.

Tips For Moving With Kids Tips to Settling in Your New Home Make a positive goodbye to your old home and community.

One of the best tips for family moving is letting go and moving forward to your new life on a positive note.

Taking-leave rituals will help provide a sense of closure in your old home, which will make the transition easier for your kids when settling into the new home and new community.

Have everyone's "basic survival necessities" where you can find them immediately and easily in the new home.

These "survival necessities" may be baby's "blankie", favorite pajamas for your toddler, essential music CD or comfy sweatshirt for your teen, and the coffee pot for you. Pack a suitcase or box with "must haves" for each family member -- belongings that would cause crankiness, crying, or raise blood pressure if they went missing for too long. Your first few days in your new home, especially that first night and morning, will be so much more pleasant for the family when everyone has the familiar stuff that make them comfortable.

Re-establish regular family routines, such as mealtimes and bedtimes, right away.

When moving, there's a certain amount of disruption to regular schedules that you simply can't avoid. But once you've moved in, aim to get back on track with your normal family routines as quickly as possible. This will help younger children, in particular, who need routines and more consistency. This also sends the important message to all members that you are the same family, just in a new setting. The old rules, routines and rituals still apply no matter where you’re at.

Familiarize yourselves with the new neighborhood.

This is especially important for comfort and safety. You want your children to know as quickly as possible the boundaries of where they can go and where they can't go beyond. Taking walks or driving around together as a family is the best way to uncover the exciting surprises that await in the new neighborhood.

Be sure to prioritize the unpacking process.

You certainly didn't pack in a day, so don't try to unpack in one either. Make setting up the children's bedrooms your first priority to help get them comfortable. Put the kitchen, bathroom(s), family room and other high-use living spaces at the top of the list. Don't obsess over decorating or hanging pictures right away. Take your time to enjoy getting to know your new home and the wonderful discoveries you and your kids will make about it.

Allow the children some say in setting up their new bedrooms.

Their new bedroom is truly their own space in the new home, so let your kids claim it. Of course, your children's age will depend on how much control they have. At the least let them decide where their bed goes in the room. If there's a budget for new furnishings, let them help select the new rug or bedspread, or allow them to select a few bedroom decorations of their own such as removable wall stickers.

Help your kids feel comfortable in their new bedrooms.

Some kids have trouble sleeping in a new bedroom. It is unfamiliar to them and can make them feel anxious.

Take the time to talk about how this bedroom is similar to the child's old room and also discuss how it's different.

Pay special attention to bringing in furnishings and belongings that were in the old room to encourage a sense of familiarity. Bring up things about the old room that your child didn't like, such as weird shadows or rattling windows, and help your kid discover the good things about this new bedroom.

Tips For Moving With Pets Travel Checklist When Moving With Pets



Veterinary records, certificates, and recent photos



Medications



Beds (pillows, towels, or other crate liners)



Plastic bags and scoops for dogs



Your pets' usual foods and plenty of water from the home you're leaving (changing their water source can be disorienting and upset their stomachs)



Food and water bowls, a can opener, and resealable lids



Leashes for cats and dogs



Litterbox for cats



Cage covers for birds and rodents



Paper towels for messes



Toys, chew bones, and treats



Provisions for the first day at the new home

Take Your Time When Packing.

Stretch out your moving preparation time over several weeks. Avoid panic in the last days. Take steps to ensure that moving day is as relaxed as possible for you and your pets.

Make Travel Arrangements For Your Pets.

If your move involves air travel, contact airline carriers one month in advance.

Ask about their pet regulations, and make reservations. Choose a nonstop flight to avoid extra handling and climate and air-pressure changes.

Visit Your Pet's Veterinarian Before Moving.

A couple weeks before moving, request a copy of veterinary records, a rabies vaccination certificate, and a health certificate. Be sure your pets are up to date with their shots. If your pet is a senior or has health problems, ask whether a mild sedative would be advisable before travel. Can your vet recommend another in your new location? For out-of-state moves, contact the State Department of Animal Husbandry or the state veterinarian about entry regulations—almost all states have entry laws for most animals except tropical fish.

Microchip Registration.

Update your new information with the company that placed the microchip.

oregon.wfgnationaltitle.com

Don't Change - Maintain Your Pet's Routine.

Keep your pets' routines, such as feedings and walks, as normal as possible in the week before moving.

Because dogs and cats need to feel in control, they might exhibit behave oral changes or even become ill when stressed. Treat them with the same level of attention you would ordinarily give them.

Make A Special Room For Your Pet. A few days before moving, choose a small room to be the "pet room." Tape a sign to the door that says "Pets: Do Not Open." Make the sign large enough that friends or movers can see it easily. Move food and water bowls, as well as toys, into this room. Provide dogs and cats with sturdy carriers equipped with litter box (for cats), chew toys, or favorite objects that have a familiar smell. Leave carrier doors open so pets can adapt to them before travel day. On moving day, keep animals in their carriers. As an alternative, consider boarding dogs and cats, or ask a friend to care take your dogs during the last few days.

Get Tags And Leashes For Your Pets.

If you have a dog or an indoor/outdoor cat, buy or create identification tags with your new address and phone number.

Be sure your pets are wearing them during travel. While you're at it, pick up a cat leash—you'll need it if you're taking a long road trip or an airplane.
