BE PREPARED

While there are certain aspects you cannot avoid when it comes to bad weather, being prepared shouldn’t be one of them.

If you anticipate cold and rainy weather for your upcoming move day, be sure to have plenty of warm jackets, gloves, heat warmers, umbrellas and rain boots on hand. It can be quite miserable to move with wet clothes as the chill travels throughout your tired achy body. Do not be caught off guard.

Even if it takes you a bit more time, take hot chocolate or coffee breaks, also making time to cover any items or boxes that may risk getting wet. Have some extra plastic on hand – you’ll be happy you did.

HAVE SOME ITEMS PROFESSIONALLY PACKED

TRASH BAGS AVAILABLE

There are a few beneficial reasons to have trash bags at hand, whether you are moving during the rain or not. Trash bags can help you remove any last-minute items and they also serve as additional protection in the bad weather.

Be sure to have the bags handy – as in your personal vehicle. This way, when you arrive at your new home, you can use the trash bags to discard those old rags, paper towels and other used cleaning products after the unpacking and cleaning process.

RAGS AND PLASTIC AVAILABLE

Other beneficial items to have on hand is large plastic or moving blankets – lay some plastic or large “rag” blankets on the floor as they will serve a useful purpose.

If it’s raining or snowing during your move, there will be additional water and possibly mud tracked into your new home. The plastic or blankets on the floor will protect your new investment and save you some time without the excess clean-up. You will have enough tasks during the move-in period – you do not need additional duties!

Salt the walkway and the driveway for that additional touch of safety, should snow or rain be in the weather forecast.
