How to prepare a room for the move?
Are you ready to move? No, no, do not check whether it is true, a list of things. Count box and specify the hundredth time, firmly packed furniture – it is also unnecessary. These actions are usually the most important, they begin to move, and they are paying the most attention. But there are other, less obvious part of this complex process. One of them – a preparation room to move. Experience shows that it is about is people often forget.
What space do we mean? In most cases, need to prepare your travel destination – a new home or workplace. In other words, the room in which you are moving. To do it better prepare in advance when to carry things is still at least a few days.
Why make room for the move?
- To protect against damage floors and walls;
- To facilitate the unloading and placement of things;
- Likely to adapt in a new place.
Preparation of apartments, villas and offices for the move somewhat different, so you should talk about each category separately.
Room preparation for apartment move
The wider space in the apartment, the less hassle you will have to prepare them for the move. Unfortunately, modern apartments often resemble animal burrows alleys, alley and long narrow corridors. Move furniture on such “moves”, without damaging any of things, no walls, it is sometimes very difficult. The most difficult case – a move to a small apartment with a nice expensive repair and finishing.
Doors can be protected from damage obtyanuv them with plastic wrap. In some cases it is necessary to disassemble the door frames, if the furniture does not go into the narrow opening. On the floor lay a solid best plastic film, paper, at least – old carpets. Then your flooring or laminate will not suffer, even if the movers toppled over something on the floor. Also, this method helps to secure a job if on the floor, for example, in the hallway, is a slippery tiles.
Hardest to protect against damage to the wall and ceiling – polythene or cardboard they are not papered. Here we have to use “ancillary ways.” Think in advance how and where you will set the property. Write down the picture a circuit arrangement of things in the paper and show it to the baggage handlers. This is to avoid absurdities like “first we carry a heavy cabinet into the back room, and then drag it back to the entrance.”
Measure the width and height of doorways and arches (if any). Perhaps some things do not take place in a low or narrow opening. Then you have to either extend the passage, or disassemble the furniture, and it requires additional time.
Warns of “hazardous areas” where special care is needed. It can be low arches, narrow openings or areas, decorated especially good materials. Talk openly: “In this place it is necessary to take extra care not to damage the finish of the walls.”
Wrap the protruding parts of furniture packaging material with good cushioning properties. It can be a soft film of polyethylene foam or bubble wrap. Paper and stretch film in this case is not quite fit – they do not have sufficient thickness and can break.
On the eve of moving into an apartment certainly need to get out. Remove from the premises all too much, and remove the right things in a safe place. If under the feet of the building materials will be movers and terribly necessary in everyday life of the bucket with a cloth, you will get an excellent opportunity to learn how to turn a few seconds of vintage furniture into a pile of rubble.
If the apartment is woven curtains in aisles, low-hanging lamps and other things that interfere with the free movement, on the journey they are better off. These decorative elements can be a hindrance when carrying things. Also on the journey is desirable to remove from the walls of mirrors and ornaments breakable materials.
