Well, I certainly have much more appreciation for our residents moving in and out. What a lot of work! So much to do! So much to think about! All the little decisions. Take this? Throw these away? Give this to someone? Sell these? Will I still want this in my new home?
And, I’m already exhausted! We’re paying a moving company, but we’re boxing everything up ourselves. They charge about $150 per hour so I’m being careful with the packing plus, if I pack it, I’ll know where it is.
We’re off to a good start after about 4 days but we have miles to go! Time for extra B vitamins for stamina. Any great moving tips you can share?

Color code the boxes, so the movers know what room or floor the boxes need to go into. Someone mentioned that in a blog I read, and I thought that was a fabulous idea!
This other one won’t help you now, but another person mentioned getting boxes from usedcardboardboxes.com. Prices were very reasonable (definitely cheaper than new), and they delivered them straight to my door. Definitely was a huge saver of time and stress.

I love that tip! Even different colored tape would work if you get free boxes, like I do, from the grocery and liquor stores. I also thought about putting stickers on the boxes that were different for each room.
And thanks for the tip about usedcardboardboxes.com. I will check them out.
I really appreciate your help!
