Removal Timeline Guideline

"Never too early to start packing"

Four weeks prior to Moving

1. Start packing non essential items into boxes.
2. Use smaller boxes for books, tools and heavy ornaments.
3. Clearly mark the boxes with summary of content and the room the box is to go into.
4. Golden Rule: What fits in a box should go into a box!
