Moving Day
So its moving day? Listen, I just finished moving a great friend and here are a couple of DO'S AND DON'TS. DO Begin packing early and place all boxes in the room closest to the door being used to move items out. Remember to bring any items from upper and lower floors to main level EVERY TIME YOU ARE IN THE UPPER OR LOWER ROOM !!! If you fill the room designated as storage to the roof and can only access the entry way then you have done VERY GOOD. Go get yourself a great number of packing boxes. My friend purchased the plastic storage totes. They worked great! Remember, get the ones that stack well and have strong tops. Otherwise get yourself ALOT of good strong packing boxes that are approximately 16 x 16 x 16 inches square. They stack well and get some bigger ones 2x2x2 feet square for blankets, towels, coats, and other large clothing or comforters. ORGANIZED MOVING !!
Men
The best thing you can do is get ALL of your tools, toys, and personal fun stuff 'ready to rock and roll'. Get out the old ghetto blaster and use it till you move. Use the little TV. And get all the electronics READY TO MOVE. Don't wait till moving day to disconnect stuff. It takes WAY to long. Guys, if you are like me, you just want it moved so you can get back to living. Women
Most of us men are not the kitchen and bath types so I'll just tell you that this is your job. Pack every box in the kitchen you can except ONE place setting for your family. 1 cup,knife,spoon,fork,mug,plate,bowl for each member. Pack the rest. Pack all cookware except 1 fry pan, pot, hot plate. Listen, on move day, you will only have to pack one or two boxes the night before. Do the same thing for the bathroom(s). Now, pack all, and I mean ALL of the china, collectibles, trinkets etc. Because if you don't, they get broke. Pack them all, NOW! OK, I told you to pack ahead. . . now, do it MOVING DAY Rent a BIG truck. No pick-ups or vans. ( unless you are a bachlor{ette} and have very little stuff ). But for the rest of you, a big truck is important. The best money you will ever spend. HELPERS, you need helpers. Don't wait until the last week. Tell them all a month early, and remind them about moving day every chance you get. Tell them that you are renting a BIG truck, so it will be an easier move. Buy them lunch, and make sure you tell them that you are doing that. Make sure there is lots of cold water, coffee, and pop available depending on the weather. Helpers are your best friends on moving day so treat them that way. Pack the truck slow and steady so no one gets hurt and NOTHING gets broken.
Well, I hope that this helps. Good luck

Contributor's Note
Bananas are a good source of potasium. It helps muscles relax. As long as you like bananas, eat one the day before you move and try to have one for your breakfast the day of the move. Silly I know, but it helps keep your muscles from tightening up, and leg cramps later after lugging all those boxes and things.
