Easy checklist for your move

The secret to minimizing stress when you move into your next home is to make a checklist of all essential activities that need to be addressed before, during and after your move. Here are some of the items that should be on your list:

* Reserve a moving van or make a reservation with professional movers well ahead of time.
* Arrange for utilities, cable and phone service to be working at your new home on the day you move in.
* If you’re moving to a new area, ask for referrals for doctors, dentists, and specialists.
* Request copies of all medical and dental records for family members and pets.
* Refill all prescriptions to make sure you don’t run out too soon after the move.
* Set up new checking and savings accounts and safe-deposit boxes.
* Lightly water any plants you plan to bring to your new home.
* Back up your computer files and secure the back-up disks.
* Empty the fuel from lawnmowers and other power equipment before moving them. * Have your car(s) serviced and filled with gas.
* Pack a box of basic items you'll need when you first arrive (toothpaste/toothbrush, blankets, coffee pot, etc.)
* Before you leave, walk through your old house to make sure everything is turned off.
