Moving Help
Moving to a new house is a time that people can really use all the help they can get. Friends and family are usually excited when they find out about the purchase of a new home. The new home’s owner might have plenty of people volunteering to help with packing boxes, but without a plan, all the helping hands may go to waste. Here are some simple ways to make sure that many hands really do make light work.
A checklist at both the old and the new house can clearly show what needs to be done. Each checklist should be split into rooms, or into similar tasks. For instance, a checklist could have all vacuuming jobs grouped together, assuming that whoever has the vacuum will move room to room. Otherwise the list could have each task under the heading of what room it is in. Dividing tasks by room is a good approach if there is a specific order that the jobs need to be done in. An example of this would be that dusty counters should be cleaned before the floor is swept to avoid having to sweep a second time. The more specific a list is, the better chance that what needs to be done will actually happen.
