搬家须知
If you're moving, it's time to plan, gather packing supplies, purge and pack all your belongings.
Preparing for a move to a new home can be overwhelming. As moving day approaches, taking some time to prepare and plan is helpful. Here are some ideas to help you get ready for moving day.
想想你的行动，提前计划
You may have the urge to start tossing your things in boxes and sorting them out in your new place. 抵制这种冲动. Plan ahead to make sure you move out and move in as easily possible.
- 想想你的新家. 考虑房间的布局、大小和数量. Chances are you're going to have to organize your stuff in a different way than it is in your current home. 这些变化会影响你的打包方式.
- 画一幅你新家的平面图. 看看卧室、起居室和厨房. 开始计划事情的发展方向. Literally draw objects into the floor plan so that you can visualize them in your new home.
- 创建一个 移动清单. A checklist can help you plan and organize your move.
买用品
Having the right equipment ready will make your move a little less painful. 你需要准备这些物资:
- 放东西的箱子. 这一点很明显. 得到你所想的两倍, 因为你不想让他们负担过重, and you definitely don't want to run out of boxes at the last minute!
- Bubble wrap and packing paper to protect valuables. 用包装胶带封好箱子.
- Plastic sandwich bags, blank stickers and permanent markers. 稍后你会发现原因.
分类和清除
Most people have household items and junk that we have not used for a long time or just don't need. Streamlining and purging things is a good thing to do so it reduces the amount to pack and move. Simply start by sorting and separating items you need from items you don't.
- 从你家里的储藏区开始. 地下室, 阁楼上, a closet — w在这里ver you keep that mass of stuff you think you need but never use.
- 把事情做完. 如果你还没用过, 看着, or at least thought about something in a couple of years, 把它分成“净化”堆.
- 保存有感情的物品. Don't be afraid to keep valuables or special items, even if you don't use them often. Put these types of objects together, and pack them safely in case you don't open them for a while.
- 决定你要如何处理这些东西. 比如把钱捐给慈善机构, holding a garage sale or leaving it by the curb for someone else.
开始包装
Keep a few things in mind while you're packing up your possessions.
- 保护好易碎物品. Don't forget to wrap breakables in bubble wrap or packing paper.
- 妥善包装箱子. Make sure to line the bottom of your boxes with foam peanuts or crumpled-up newspaper. Place the heavier items on the bottom and the lighter items on the top.
- 关闭和标签框. 当所有的东西都被包装在一个特定的盒子里, 再撒一些包装花生, 用胶带把盒子捆起来，贴上标签.
准备家具
Taking time to protect your furniture can help reduce damage. 这里有一些建议.
- 包装用品. Remember the plastic sandwich bags, blank stickers and permanent markers suggested earlier? They come in handy when you're disassembling things like tables, bookshelves and cribs. 也, 塑料袋很适合装坚果, bolts and washers in and then taping them to the item to be moved. For items that have a lot of individual components, re-assembly is more efficient and easier when you label each bag.
- 蜡家具. 在细木材上打蜡以防止划伤.
- Put pillows and coverings in plastic garbage bags. Make sure to fasten the bags so debris can't get in.
- 包装和保护家具. Wrap important furniture with blankets or bubble wrap for extra protection.
Make sure you take breaks and rest as you need to. 打包安全很重要. Engaging the help and company of friends and family sometimes makes packing faster and easier.
