MOVING CHECKLIST

• Get binding estimates from at least three moving companies.

• Take a photographic or video inventory of household furniture and belongings.

• Check with your insurance agent to ensure you are covered during the move.

• Make sure you have packing supplies handy: boxes, marking pen, bubble wrap, newspaper and tissue, tape, scissors and a tape measure.

• Pack one room at a time. Label each box and indicate: (a) Which room it goes in (b) If it is fragile (c) If it should be unloaded first.

• Contact gas, electric, phone and cable companies at least two weeks prior to your move. • Arrange to have the services up and running at least one day before you move in.

• Have your utility companies and/or town do a final reading of the gas, electric and water meters.

• Prepare for the first night in your new home by packing items you will need accessible in a separate bag and carry it with you.

• Obtain medical and dental records, x-rays and prescription histories. Ask your current doctor and dentist for referrals and transfer prescriptions.
