2 Days Before You Move:

There are just two days left before you say goodbye to your old bedroom, your old backyard where you had some great barbecues, and to the familiar sounds of your neighborhood. Probably by now you're ready to go, just wishing it would all be over, anticipating the new start. But hold on; there's still some things you need to take care of that need to be done in the next two days.
  1. Defrost your refrigerator and freezer. Clean it well then allow it to dry for at least 24 hours. If you're moving your refrigerator yourself, make sure you have all the necessary tools to do so.

  1. Check to make sure you have all vital documents and items that you'll be taking with you: passport (if needed), directions, maps, cash, new keys, rental agreement (if needed), etc...
  2. Keep all documents related to your move within easy reach, yet where they won't get lost in the current chaos. I usually opt for a kitchen drawer that's already been cleaned out.
  3. Pack up a box of items you'll need when you get to your new place. This is where I'll store my coffee maker, coffee, tea, cups, dish towel and all my cleaning supplies, including dish soap. I also make sure I pack some paper towels or cleaning sponges.
  4. Do check-up phone calls. Call the city or your apartment manager to confirm that the moving truck has permission to park and ensure you have the right permit. If the parking is not secured, you could end up paying for long carry charges.
  5. Disassemble last pieces of furniture, including the beds. You'll have to sleep on just the mattress for your final night, but this will save you time in the morning. There's nothing more frustrating than waiting until the morning of your move to discover that you don't have the right tools to take the bed apart, or that it doesn't come apart very easily.

  1. Close all bank accounts if you haven't done so already. Or if you're transferring to another account in a new city, call your bank to confirm that the transfer has been set up. In addition, close any safe deposit boxes you may have and pack your valuables with your vital documents. You could purchase a safe box to take with you; just remember if you're driving, carry it with you into hotels or slip it into a bag if you leave your vehicle. Nothing screams "steal me!" more than a safe box!
