Load & Behold

The Funny and Frustrating Side of Moving

A little extra protection today can save a lot of frustration tomorrow.

Moving Tip: The right supplies matter just as much as careful handling. Even durable-looking items can fail without proper packing materials.

Loading and stacking boxes isn't grunt work- it's a science.

Moving Tip: Be sure to distribute weight so that the stack doesn't shift. Maximize every cubic inch without crushing cargo (high & tight). One wrong move and the laws of physics will file a claim.

Packing is an endless loop of "just one more thing left to box up".

Moving Tip: Pack one category at a time (e.g., all books, then all kitchenware) to avoid constant reshuffling.

The classic example of "square peg, round hole".

Moving Tip: Be sure to take measurements of your furniture (ie sofas, mattresses, etc...) and the staircases and doorways you plan to move them through before you move them!

Your pet who ignores you for weeks decides it's the perfect time to run and scream to the hills!

Moving Tip: Between new environment, motion and sensory overload it becomes a lot (especially for older pets). Consult your vet on recommendations to make traveling less stressful.
