Reasonable Doubt: 10 thoughts to move you - and your stuff Sat, 9 Aug 2008 20:54:58 -0500
The scrapes on my hands are starting to heal, and my DVD player is reconnected. I still can’t find my change dish or spare washcloths, but at least everything’s in. That’s about all I can say. Though I only moved about a mile, the short distance didn’t make it any easier than a cross-country move: All the stuff in the middle is easy; it’s just driving. The tough parts are packing, lifting and cleaning at the old and new places. As I hurt myself last week, I mulled a few rules of smashed thumb for improving moves. I figured someone had to have done so before, so I looked for moving tips online. Yet many such are just bait to sucker you into various expensive services. Others are such helpful hints as “strategize wardrobe box use” and “break the job into smaller parts.” Well, thanks. Faced with that lack, I decided to put together my own suggestions for making moving easier. This is a subject in which I have some experience. I believe I’ve changed residence 24 times in my life - not counting dorms at Western, from which I moved every few months for three years in an end-of-semester ritual. The next big wave of moves in Bowling Green is under way, or will be soon, as college students come back for the fall. I don’t anticipate that many students (if any) will read this, but their parents might; and the same applies to anyone who has to change their place of residence. Except, maybe, for those going to jail. There’s usually help provided for that, and not much packing is required. Anyway, here’s the top 10 things I wish I’d done, or done more of, in the last couple of weeks: 1. Make friends with big guys. This takes some anticipatory preparation and may require the promise of pizza. No matter how big and strong you may be personally, you’ll always need someone to carry the other end. (Personal note: thanks to Chad, Daniel and Shane. I’d still be trying to get bookcase No. 8 up my stairs sideways if it wasn’t for you.) 2. Take more time than you could possibly need. You’ll need it. It always takes longer than it should to pack and clean, especially when forgotten items emerge from the back of the closet and you move furniture that’s been in the same spot for years, hiding an empire of dust rhinos. You’ll also need wiggle room for inevitable side trips: utilities, address change, truck rental and buying overlooked supplies. I set aside four evenings to pack, and two and a half days to move, and it wasn’t enough. I had to work at least part of every “day off.” I’d hoped to be out of my old place Monday morning, but I didn’t clean the last room until 3 p.m. Tuesday. 3. When figuring time, allow plenty for sleep. Don’t expect to make up for lost time by skimping on rest. When I was moving from Louisville back to Bowling Green, I spent four punch-drunk days shuttling stuff to Bowling Green, working in Louisville, and grabbing a total of six hours’ sleep in between. Going back to Louisville on my last trip, I knew I had to pull over. I walked around for a few minutes and then decided to get a breakfast sandwich at a nearby Burger King. Ryder trucks are not built to clear drive-through overhangs. I was too punchy to notice that at the time. Now I know. 4. Save the fridge for last, and keep it full of water. I bought a case of bottled water from Wal-Mart before moving. When I carried up the last armload of clothes, I drank the last bottle. 5. Use small boxes, though it means more trips. My friends and I groaned at each box of books that had to go upstairs. We went from taking three at a time on a dolly, to two, to one. 6. When at all possible, time your move. I know most moves aren’t decided entirely by the person or persons who are doing the moving, but even a slight adjustment can help. I wanted to move before Western students did so both good apartments and a moving truck were readily available. Another week or so, and it would have been a lot tougher. I had clear weather, but not cool; I guess October would be about the best month for a move. I seem to recall most family moves taking place on the coldest day of the year, while my personal ones were around the hottest. Worst was a beastly August in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., without air conditioning. 7. Pack a suitcase like you’re going on vacation, and put it on top of everything else. Keep several changes of clothes and basic toiletries separate from everything else - don’t expect to dig around and find them anytime soon. I had to have a work-worthy outfit available for every day of my move, so I kept them handy. 8. Don’t re-learn Morgan Spurlock’s lesson from “Super Size Me.” It’s tempting to grab fast food in mid-move, but a bacon cheeseburger won’t make you feel any better then than it does the rest of the time. Eat healthily, and lightly, even if that means taking more time. All your parts will thank you when you’re lifting. 9. If you tend to move often, for whatever reason, it’s not a bad idea to get permanent moving gear. U-Haul actively encourages reuse of its cardboard boxes, which aren’t cheap. I still had some left from more than four years ago. This time I went to the new Harbor Freight store on U.S. 31-W By-Pass and bought a good dolly, which should serve indefinitely - whether for me or for friends. I also keep a small toolbox handy, with screwdrivers and such for anything that needs assembly, disassembly, or sudden repair. 10. At last, take the long view: Whenever you buy something major - something you wouldn’t want to leave behind - consider how you’d move it if necessary. No matter how amazing the king-sized four-poster bed hand carved from one piece of wood will look in your current bedroom, “Is there ever a chance I’ll have to carry this up stairs?”
