 April showers may bring May flowers, but Perrysburg, Toledo, and the entire NW Ohio/SE Michigan area still gets its fair share of precipitation in June.. Many families choose to move in the spring and summer months to take advantage of the nice weather, but storms are unpredictable, and it may not be possible to change your moving day to avoid a rainy forecast. If you’re forced to move in the rain, a few easy tips can help make the process much easier.
Use the Right Equipment Wearing a poncho or some type of water-resistant jacket can help you stay dry while moving in and out of the rain. Whatever type of rain covering you wear, make sure it does not restrict your vision or your movement; if you cannot see or move correctly while carrying something heavy, you could unintentionally injure yourself or others. Slip and fall injuries are also very common during moves. Heavy-duty, non-slip boots can reduce the chances of a slip and fall accident as well as keep you dry and comfortable. Safety is the most important thing to remember when moving, and moving in the rain means worrying about more than throwing your back out lifting a couch. The equipment you wear can mean the difference between a less-than-ideal but injury-free move and a trip to the emergency room. Protect Important Items If you’re forced to carry valuable items through the rain, use standard garbage bags to cover them while outside. You may even want to wrap the boxes you need to carry through the rain in plastic bags and label them with a large permanent marker; your rain prevention measures could also help you organize your move! RELATED ARTICLE: Pros and Cons of Moving for Each Season Coordinate Your Move-In Want to spare your new home from muddy footprints? Consider the layout of your home and choose the largest room closest to the entrance. Lay down a tarp or drop cloth or some other covering to protect the floor and have your moving team unload everything in this one spot. You could even work out a team system where some of your helpers bring stuff in from the moving truck while the others meet them at the door to take the items where they belong. Either option is better than having your wet moving team trying to shuffle past one another to move everything into your new home. Moving in the rain is never ideal, but not everyone can wait for better weather before starting their transition. These tips can help you and your moving team have a more efficient and ultimately more comfortable moving process despite the wet weather. How Do I Book an Appointment for a Stress-Free Move?

 It’s almost moving day, and you may think that you have everything you need. However, following a checklist of essential items that keeps things running smoothly on moving day can help. This post will outline a list of things to have handy on moving day and why; such as basic cleaning supplies, a toolkit, batteries, and more.
Read on… Proper planning now will ensure a stress-free moving day! 1. Basic Cleaning Supplies While the previous owners may have cleaned up the place before you moved in, the level of cleanliness may not be up to your standards. You'll want to do your own clean-up to ensure all the dust bunnies are vacuumed and the counters have been disinfected. For that, you'll need to bring a box of basic cleaning supplies with you in your own vehicle so you can get started right away.
2. Batteries Batteries are consistently one of the most overlooked items in regards to packing for your move. As soon as you move in, you'll want to watch some TV with the remote, get the ceiling fans going, stock your flashlights, and make sure the fire alarms are all set. For that, you'll need batteries of all sizes and kinds. Stock up on a multi-pack before you move in. 3. Toolkit The first days in your new home will require a lot of handy-work on your part. You'll need your toolkit to hang pictures on the walls, open up stubborn boxes, tighten door pulls, and measure rooms for furniture placement. Make sure your toolkit is stocked with:
4. Chargers All your electronics will need to be charged, so be sure to pack all chargers in a box in individual bags that are clearly labeled. Throwing them in random boxes will become infuriating on moving day when you need your battery-drained laptop and can't find the right charger to go with it. Moving day is never fun with a dead phone for you or a dead tablet for the kids. How Do I Book an Appointment for Moving Help? Are you ready to book your move?
