Self-Mover Truck Tips
Self-Mover Truck Tips
"The Jeffersons" made its TV debut this day in 1975, with George and Wheezy movin' to the East Side. Today, thanks to low interest rates and a wacky economy, lots of people are moving -- some up, others not so. Are you one of the many renting a truck and moving to a new home? If so, it pays to know what things to stack, what goes in back and what to wrap in foam. Today you'll learn to pack and load successfully for the open road. Load the biggest, heaviest items first. Major appliances and large furniture go way in the back toward the middle, secured by straps and ropes so all doors and drawers stay closed. Use hand trucks with load-lock straps, get help for the heavy stuff and keep appliances upright to prevent damage. Wrap mattresses and box springs, and place all big flat items along outer walls. Next, large wardrobe cartons with clothing, hung rather than packed, should line the walls. Then, center-load boxes, rolled rugs and long bundled items like bed frames. And that's the On The House tip for today. http://www.onthehouse.com/tips/20100118 |
