The success of starting a new life on the coast of Spain starts from the moment we pack our first box. By carrying out a move in the right way, we will get rid of a few problems. To make this possible, we will take into account the following tips for the three most important stages of the move: the packing, the journey, the arrival with its corresponding unpacking. Tips for packing Designate a room for the boxes: before starting, it is advisable to have a space, preferably a room, in which we will put all the boxes already packed, closed and labeled. Heavy things in small boxes: one of the risks of boxes is that they may collapse. In order to avoid this, we will put the heaviest objects in small boxes, since their resistance is greater. Clothes in sheets: there is no need to take up extra space when using boxes for clothes. One way to move them using a very effective technique to save space is to wrap them in sheets. Use the opportunity to clean out your closet: as you take your belongings out of the closet and drawers, discard what you know you won't use again. Label: simple labels will help you organize your belongings once you arrive. At the same time, they will be of great help to the movers, who will be able to distinguish fragile objects from those that are not so fragile. Do not tape furniture: adhesive tapes can drag some of the furniture's paint with them when they are removed. If you need to protect certain furniture, cover it with nylon or old sheets. Recommendations for the journey Pets: Pets should travel in their corresponding carriers. Cats tend to run away and dogs could attack the moving company's personnel. Essential belongings: it is advisable to travel with everything related to documentation, keys to the new home, notes and even snacks and drinks, in a carry-on bag. Tips for arrival and unpacking Paint before moving: before arriving at our new home, it should be painted and all the repairs we were planning to do should be done. To start doing this kind of tasks with all the furniture in the house would be uncomfortable and impractical. Ordering food: it is likely that the installation will take one or two days to be ready. For this reason, we will need to have the phone numbers of food stores located in the area we are moving to. Remember the twenty-four hour wait to reconnect the refrigerator: the refrigerator needs to rest for twenty-four hours before being plugged in again after it has been moved. Let's keep this in mind if we are moving food with us. Assemble and arrange the furniture first: before placing our belongings on the shelves, it will be a good idea to leave the furniture in the place where it will eventually go. This will allow us to make any last minute modifications with the furniture still empty. Releasing pets: before releasing our pets from your shipping crate, we will make sure that all doors and windows are closed. This tip is especially useful for cat owners, animals that have a strong tendency to run away and get disoriented easily.
