The power failure which began late on Monday night is, for the most part, restored to normal in Houston. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries –minor or serious– which is excellent news considering a similar incident back in 2005. That year a BP unit lost power causing a deadly explosion which claimed the lives of fifteen people. Serious power loss occurring twice in one decade is too often if you consider that lives may be at risk. Your pro Houston movers are happy to handle your relocation needs, especially if it is for the benefit of your health and peace-of-mind! Safety concerns surrounding the power failure this week may be at bay for now… But for how long?

Moving from place to place often involves dis-assembly and reassembly of furniture. Out of the box, your furniture may have come with instructions that made initial assembly a breeze, but what if you have lost those instructions? No problem! As long as you plan your move to a T, nothing can go wrong. So if you have lost assembly instructions for items that must be taken apart in order to move, don’t worry. To make reassembly a breeze, simply take pictures of the dis-assembly process so that you can refer back to your camera during reassembly at your new home. Remember to take photos of each important step during the dis-assembly process, so that you can have no problem doing the process in reverse. Don’t forget, planning your move to a T means hiring reputable Fort Lauderdale professional movers!

The average cost of fuel in Greenville has fallen by just about a penny a gallon over the past week. This fall in gas price is far from significant, but when considering the rest of the nations average fuel cost, it is at least somewhat encouraging. While Greenville locals are paying about a cent less per gallon of gas than they were last week, the rest of the nation’s average fuel cost has gone up about three cents. Considering that gas prices have gone way up from where they were a year ago, this isn’t much of a victory over the rest of the country. But Greenville can still boast, “We have the best gas prices!” –and the best movers too!

If you have ever hired professional Fort Myers movers to handle your relocation services to a new home, you definitely know the value of time during your move! The less time spent on the job, the less your moving costs are at the end of the day; a no brain-er. So if you are planning to move again soon, you have probably considered handling your own packing among other moving tasks so that your moving day is short and sweet –and extremely affordable!

Your movers in Ft Myers are talented professionals, and know how to move your household belongings quickly, which is why we are so reputable. However; if you are handling your own packing, your movers won’t physically be there with you to speed up the process. Though we won’t be there to help you pack, your professional Fort Myers movers do want to help you pack quickly –so here’s a great packing tip: For clothing, rather than folding each article and packing into moving boxes, you should use this cool bed sheet method. Simply lay a sheet down on the ground or on your bed, stack your unfolded clothes in the middle of the sheet, fold each side of the sheet over the stack of clothes, and twist the ends of the sheet to hold it all together. This method works especially well for closet clothing. Then just carry the bundle to your vehicle for transport. If you want to play a funny prank on your on-looking neighbors, you could enlist the help of a second person and pretend you are disposing of a dead body as this is what your clothing bundle will resemble… everybody can use a good laugh on their moving day!

Living in a particularly small space can be tough in many ways. One upside to living in a small home is that moving costs tend to be on the very low side as there is less to move! If you live in a really small apartment, you have probably heard of the impressive 90-square-foot apartment in Manhattan which author, Felice Cohen, proudly calls her home! Perhaps watching this cool video of her tiny awesome New York apartment can give you ideas on how you can spruce up your place if you live in a small space in Denver. Check it out!

The upcoming Royal Wedding will be held this Friday, and while many Americans will be tuning in to watch the events, many British citizens will be (and have been) taking their interests in the royal family one step further. As it is perfectly legal in Britain, many people have been gambling on the Royal Wedding! A topic that has been quickly moving to the top of the headlines, wagers will be made on variables such as whether or not the two soon-to-be newlyweds will get divorced! Your Dallas movers certainly hope not! It would be a sad, yet for some a lucrative event should the couple divorce. Catherine would be moving out, and many would be cashing in! There are also bets that Prince William and Catherine Middleton will remain together of course, and after Friday all participants in the Royal Wedding wagers will have to wait and see!

What is your technique when it comes to shopping for groceries? Many families lead such busy lives that when it comes time to restock the fridge and pantry, they go on a grab-and-go spree at the local super market! Grab-and-go quickness is a great method for moving in Corpus Christi, but not so much for grocery shopping; you should have a plan when you go to the grocery store so that each purchase is a smart purchase! Never go to the store without a list!

One technique that works really well for grocery shopping starts at home. It is easy to make food purchases based on nothing more than impulse, which can end up costing you a lot of money over time. How many times have you grabbed something off the shelf that never ends up leaving your fridge or pantry until it is time to be thrown out? To be sure that every food purchase has a purpose that will be carried out at home, consider shopping based on a menu! Make a menu of recipes that are frequently prepared at your home, and always keep the necessary ingredients in-stock in your kitchen. With the proper ingredients to prepare all of your family’s favorite dishes on hand, you can even cook dinner based on the majority preference each night, or designate a delicious meal for each night of the week. Efficiency in your grocery shopping means that no item will be wasted -and no money wasted either!

Do you plan to move soon? If relocation is on the horizon for you, good tips are extremely valuable right now, and your Connecticut movers have ten great packing tips for you to consider!

• Pack as much as you can! Packing is time consuming, and doing your own packing shaves a lot of time off of the job your movers will do for you on your move day. Shaving time means cutting costs, which your Connecticut mover knows is important.
• Start packing as early as possible! Again, packing is time consuming, and the last thing you want is to fall behind and either rush to finish or spend extra time and money still packing on your moving day. It is never too early to start packing, and being able to take your time will ensure that your packing efforts are efficient and painless.
• Be on the lookout for free boxes and save money on moving supplies by stock-piling a collection of good boxes you can use for moving. Many supermarkets have been known to give such boxes away!
• Plastic storage bins are great for packing too! Be smart and take advantage of packing containers you may already have at home.
• Before you begin to pack, eliminate items that you know you won’t use/need at your new place. Craigslist is a great way to sell items which you no longer want, or you can donate your unwanted goods to a local thrift store and write it off on your taxes! The less you have to pack and move, the better!
• Use color coding to label each box. Pick a color for each room at your new destination, and use colored paper to easily label without having to bend down and read each box. This method of box labeling speeds up the unloading process significantly.
• Pack according to priority to allow for a relaxed unpacking process. Some items are more important than others –tooth brushes pillows blankets, etc– by packing according to priority, you can easily unpack your essentials upon arrival, and then take as long as needed/desired to unpack the rest of your moving boxes.
• Use smaller boxes to pack books and other heavy items. You may have a whole library of literature in your home, but packing a whole lot of books in the same box can quickly become too heavy to handle! By packing into smaller boxes, each box can be carried by one person so that you are able to handle your own packing without over straining and possibly injuring yourself!
• Inventory each box so that nothing gets lost or misplaced during your move. If you have ever spent weeks searching for a lost remote control after moving into a new home, you can surely relate to this useful packing tip! You may not want to unpack everything immediately upon moving in to your new place, but having an inventory which enables you to know where every packed item is will ensure that you don’t temporarily lose any items during your gradual unpacking process. Number each box and keep a spreadsheet or simple list accounting for each box’s entire contents.
• Designate a room or area in your home where you will accumulate all of your packed boxes as they are topped off and taped closed. This technique helps you in two major ways: The minefield effect that a home full of scattered boxes can give off is eliminated by having all boxes in one place, and this also speeds up your moving day significantly as it is quicker to carry boxes from one point rather than from several rooms throughout your home!

With packing out of the way, you’ll be amazed at how simple the rest of your moving duties will be, especially if you are hiring professional movers in Connecticut for your relocation service needs. Good luck on packing, and with your move, we’ll see you real soon!

What a good Friday to be moving! Many people have the day off of work today, which makes for a good day to devote to your local Columbus move while still being able to enjoy the weekend! Your mover here in Columbus rarely takes a day off, which makes today rather busy! Today is also Earth Day, so if you are moving, you may want to keep the environment in mind by recycling your used moving boxes and other re-useable supplies. By hiring Columbus movers to relocate your household items in only one load, you avoid burning off the much larger amount of fuel that you would have otherwise by making multiple trips back and forth in your own personal vehicle. Happy Earth Day, and have a great weekend!

The end of the semester is a busy time for college students, especially if moving out of your dorm is on your to-do list. There are plenty of reasons to hire movers rather than doing your own move when you relocate to a new home, but if you are going to spend your hard earned money on relocation services, you should choose your Chicago movers wisely. You have plenty of options when it comes to movers you can hire, so how do you know which mover is right for you? Think about the last time that you helped a friend or family member move… Even if it didn’t end in disaster, there were probably a few false moves considering that nobody involved is a professionally trained mover. Now imagine helping friends move on a regular basis; balancing your job school and studying with moving on the side several times a week. Most people –students or not– would soon be perpetually exhausted with such a taxing schedule, and the exhaustion would show during moves!

Assisting fellow college student peers with moving may not be a bad idea on a once-in-a-blue-moon basis, but can you really expect your average Joe to be able to handle a full schedule of classes, studying, work AND moving regularly on the side without making one false move? Furthermore; would it be worth the risk of damaged property to give such a student a chance? As crazy as it is to subject one’s self to a hectic schedule such as this, there are college kids who do so as a way to make extra money while in school. There are better ways to support college kids in need that don’t involve putting your hard earned money and prized possessions at stake. Hiring professional movers in Chicago who are dedicated solely to moving your belongings with care and precision is your best bet if you hiring-out is the route you choose to take. Without the distraction of school, studying, making ends meet and so on, your Chicago area moving professional is far more likely to provide accident-free relocation services for you!
