Moving during the winter time has always been a little difficult. Snow and ice slow moving down a lot, but it doesn't have to keep us down. Here are some helpful, and safe, moving tips to keep you happy during your winter move.
Dress warm. You may be surprised how much warm articles of clothing can improve the atmosphere of a winter move. It's always a good idea to have extra warm pieces of clothing on hand while moving, especially things that you can layer - such as sweatshirts, blankets, coats, and socks.
Avoid slipping on ice by taking care of your side walk. Shovel and salt walkways, stairs, steps, driveways, or anywhere else you will have to walk through when moving. Keep your snow shovel close by in case you need it.
Walk carefully and slowly. Slipping or falling during a move can be very dangerous. Make sure to trudge carefully, even if you've recently shoveled the walkway.
Keep an eye out for changing weather. Watch out for any snow storms or weather that may slow your move. During the winter it is imperative to keep on top of weather changes and match your moving plans with the best windows of good weather.
Watch out for your carpets. In the winter time it is easy to track in mud and snow in your home. It can be a pain to take off shoes every time you enter. You may want to put down a covering over your carpet where it will get the most traffic, so your carpets will be spared.
Another option for the snow and mud problem would be to do the move in teams. Have one team of a few people stay outside delivering things from the truck to the front door, and another team inside the home taking the packages from the door to their rightful places in the home. Or you also could move the items to a moderately clean place, like a garage, and then move the items into the home from there once everyone cleans off their shoes.
Have extra people on the job so that you can spend less time in the cold. If you can plan the time of your move, you will probably have more help if you choose to move during the weekend and not during a major holiday, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving when a lot of people are tied down to plans. Keep your contact information handy through out the move so you have people to call in case you need extra help.
