Smooth Sailing: Planning a Military Move

Smooth Sailing: Planning a Military Move

in , , , ,

Stepping into a new journey is part of the territory for military families. One of the most daunting aspects of military life is preparing for another move. Three Guys Moving is a full service moving and storage company that handles military moves. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time mover, our long distance and local movers can offer you some tips to help you navigate through the chaos and ensure a smooth transition.

Before Your Move

Create a comprehensive pre-move checklist to stay on top of all the necessary tasks. Start by making housing arrangements, notifying schools or childcare providers, and updating your contact information with all relevant institutions. It’s crucial to ensure that all your paperwork – from medical records to vehicle registrations – is in order so you’re well-prepared for your new adventure. Proper planning prevents last-minute panic!

One of the best ways to make your military move easier is to organize and declutter before packing. Take the opportunity to sort through your belongings and decide what you want to keep, donate, or discard. This is also an excellent time to create a detailed inventory of your possessions, which will come in handy when it’s time to unbox at your new destination.

Don’t forget to reach out to the military housing office early in the process. They can provide essential information about housing options, eligibility criteria, and available entitlements. Being well-informed will help you make the best decisions for your family.

Another task on your pre-move checklist is to engage a full service moving and storage company. Not all moving companies have experience with military moves. The long distance and local movers at Three Guys Moving, for example, not only handle military moves, but our 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse is an approved military storage facility.

Our next article will continue the discussion about military moves.

Three Guys Moving is proud to partner with U.S. servicemembers to help ensure their moves go smooth. We are a full service moving and storage company that can handle both small and large moves. We are also equipped to handle specialty items. Piano moving, for instance, is one area we specialize in, and our piano movers are among the best in the business. If you are planning a military move, our long distance and local movers welcome the opportunity to work with you. Give your friends at Three Guys Moving a call today!

We are concluding our series of articles offering valuable tips and advice to help you plan your long distance move. Three Guys Moving is a full service moving company with both long distance and local movers who understand the ins and outs of planning all types of moves. Our previous articles covered how it’s important to begin planning your move as early as possible, developing and budget for your move, researching the new area you plan to make your home, purging your belongings, hiring a reputable full service moving company, being strategic with your packing, and keeping valuables separated from your general belongings.

Today, we will look at two more strategies to consider as you plan your long distance move.

Notify Everyone About Your Move

Before your move, be sure to distribute your new address and contact information to:

  • The post office for mail forwarding
  • Your bank and credit card companies
  • Your utility companies
  • Your employer
  • Friends and family
  • Anyone else who may need your new address ASAP

Doing this helps ensure you don’t miss important mail or bills during your transition and that all of your information is up to date.

Don’t Forget About Your Car

Depending on the distance of your move, you may need to book a car transport service or calculate driving time and plan for overnight stops. If you’ll be leaving your car behind for any length of time, be sure to prepare it for storage by taking out all personal belongings and disconnecting the battery.

Take Care of Yourself

Finally, don’t forget to take care of yourself during the hectic moving process. Get enough rest, eat healthy meals, and take breaks when you need them.

Remember, moving can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right planning and preparation, you can enjoy a successful long distance move. Three Guys Moving is a trusted and experienced full service moving company offering comprehensive moving services including packing, storage, and specialty moving, including piano moving.

We are continuing our series of articles to help you prepare for a long distance move. Our previous articles discussed the importance of planning your move at least two to three months in advance, developing a budget, researching the new area where you are moving, and purging your belongings before making your long distance move. Today, we will look at two more tips to consider.

Hire a Reputable Full Service Moving and Storage Company

Pack Strategically

Packing your belongings may seem like a simple task, but it’s important to pack strategically to ensure an easy and efficient unpacking process. Label your boxes with the contents and the room they belong in to make unpacking a breeze. As a full service moving and storage company, Three Guys Moving can take the burden of packing off of your list. Should you choose to engage our packing services, we will take extra care to pack your belongings. Our professional movers and packers:

  • Use small boxes for heavy items and larger boxes for lighter items
  • Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper
  • Mark boxes with “fragile” if they contain breakable items
  • Label boxes with contents and the designated room

 

Keep Valuables Separated

You may decide to keep some items (i.e., jewelry, passports, important documents, etc.) with you during your move. If so, store these items in a separate box or bag and bring them with you in your car or carry-on luggage. Other valuable items, like artwork, antiques, pianos, etc. may require special handling and packing. Consider hiring a professional moving company such as Three Guys Moving with experience in piano moving and transporting sensitive items.

Research Your New Location

Before your move, take time to research your new location. Learn about the best restaurants, shopping, entertainment, recreation, cultural events, etc. in your new city or town. This can help generate excitement about your anticipated move. Perhaps consider taking a pre-move trip to your new location to help you feel more comfortable and confident about your decision to move.

Purge Unnecessary Items

The cost of moving services is often based on the weight of your belongings or the amount of space they take up in the moving truck. So, it’s extremely important to purge unnecessary items before your move. Start by going through your belongings and sorting them into piles to keep, donate, or sell. Consider selling items on online marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist to save money and make some extra cash.

Embracing Minimalism in Your New Home

We are continuing our series of articles on minimalism. Our long distance and local movers are seeing people of all ages choosing to embrace the minimalist lifestyle, which involves downsizing your possessions, simplifying your life, and prioritizing what really matters to you. While it may sound daunting, the perks of minimalistic living can help clear your headspace, promote better focus, and give you more time for experiences that truly matter. With careful planning, you can create a beautiful minimalist space that reflects your personality and enhances the quality of your life.

Select Functional and Stylish Furniture

Once you have decluttered and moved into your new home, you can begin to selectively add furniture and decor to your new minimalist space. Furnishing your new minimalist home can be a creative process, allowing you to incorporate your personal preferences while maintaining functionality. When selecting furniture, ensure that the pieces are functional, practical, and comfortable while also being stylish. Look for furniture that can serve multiple purposes such as a sofa bed, nested tables, or multifunctional shelves.

Incorporate a Cohesive and Calming Color Scheme

A minimalist home is characterized by simplicity, which is why it is essential to incorporate a cohesive and calming color scheme. Neutral and earthy tones such as white, beige, and light grey are common color schemes for minimalist homes. You can add a pop of color through accent decor, artwork or even greenery.

Tips for Downsizing

Tips for Downsizing

in , , ,

Decluttering your home can be a daunting task, especially if you are accustomed to having a lot of stuff. However, with a plan and the right mindset, it can be a process that is not only manageable but also therapeutic. Our long distance and local movers and packers understand both the challenges of getting rid of belongings, and moving an inordinate amount of stuff you may not use or need anymore. Let’s take a look at some tips to help you declutter in preparation for downsizing.

Invite Family and Friends to Help

Inviting your family and friends to help can make the task of decluttering much less overwhelming. Additionally, you may choose to give your family and friends first right or refusal of the items you plan to donate or sell.

Identify Items to Keep, Donate, or Sell

Decluttering starts with identifying what you need and what you don’t. It’s essential to sort through your possessions and identify which items will stay, which items you can donate or sell, and which ones you need to throw away. Separating out into categories (i.e., clothing, books, kitchen items, décor, etc.) is an excellent way to begin the process.

Prepare Yourself to Let Go

One of the most challenging parts of decluttering is letting go of items. However, it is important to remind yourself that they are just things. It’s okay to hold on to a few sentimental items, but we should resist the temptation to hoard.

Benefits of Minimalism

Benefits of Minimalism

We are continuing our series of articles on embracing the minimalist lifestyle. As we discussed in a previous article, our long distance and local movers are seeing and uptick in people of all ages who are choosing the downsize.

The minimalist lifestyle embraces intentionally living with fewer possessions, living within your means, and focusing on the things that truly bring you joy. Reaping the benefits of minimalism begins with the downsizing process. Once you embrace minimalism, you will realize that you don’t need a lot of things in your home. This lends itself to a more organized space and less time spent cleaning and maintaining your home. Additionally, simplifying your lifestyle allows you to focus on what you are passionate about, pursue hobbies, and spend more quality time with loved ones.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of minimalism is as you get rid of belongings, you will find it easier to downsize your home. Selling your larger home for a profit and purchasing a smaller home that accommodates your new minimalist lifestyle could result in a lower mortgage payment or even mortgage-free living. A smaller space means there is also less to clean and maintain.

College Housing Tips

College Housing Tips

in , , , ,

Choosing college housing can be both exciting and overwhelming. However, taking the time to consider your preferences, budget, and other important factors can help ensure that you make a smart decision that will benefit you throughout your college experience.

Remember to weigh pros and cons, evaluate all housing options, set a budget, and pursue financial aid options, and always think about location, safety, and other essential amenities that will make your new home away from home feel like the right fit. Let’s take a look at two important steps to take in the process of choosing college housing.

Budgeting

Once you have decided on a housing option, it is crucial to examine the costs and create a financial plan. Make sure to factor in the rent or mortgage, utilities, Wi-Fi, groceries, and other essential expenses before signing a lease or agreement. You also may wish to factor in the cost for a full service moving and storage company to help you with your move-in, move-out, and storage if needed. Accounting for these expenses up front can help you create a realistic budget and properly manage your finances throughout the school year.

Exploring Financial Aid Options

Many colleges offer a range of financial aid options specifically for housing including scholarships, grants, and loans. Make sure to research these options and apply for them early. These options can help you alleviate some of the financial burden of college housing.

3 Guys Moving is proud to offer our expert moving services to college students. Our long distance and local movers alleviate the stress associated with having to move-in, move-out, and possibly even temporarily store some of your personal items. Speaking of storing personal items, since we are a full service moving and storage company, we have a 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse to keep your belongings safe.

Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

in , , , , ,

There are many choices when it comes to college housing. While it is best to take time to visit the college and personally tour the options available, sometimes doing so is not possible, especially if you’re attending college far away from home. Regardless of what type of housing you decide on, it can be helpful to engage a full service moving company to handle the move-in and move-out processes. Let’s take a look at different housing options to consider and some of the advantages/disadvantages of each.

On-Campus Housing

Dormitories and residence halls are a popular choice, especially for first-year college students. They offer several benefits, such as affordable living costs, opportunities to meet new people, and easy access to campus amenities. However, they do have their downsides, such as strict rules and regulations, limited space, and some privacy concerns. Make sure to carefully consider all of the pros and cons of dorm living before making a decision.

Off-Campus Housing

Another popular option for college housing is off-campus apartments, homes, or shared spaces. Off-campus housing allows you to have more independence, privacy, and freedom over your living situation. It also allows you to explore different neighborhoods and choose a living situation that caters to your unique needs. You can live alone, with roommates, or find a housing situation that mirrors your personality and preferences. However, off-campus housing comes with a few downsides, such as higher rent, further commutes, and fewer on-campus amenities.

Our next article will offer some college housing tips as you embark on this new adventure.
