After a lot of searching, the ideal new apartment is found. The only problem is the current tenants will not be out of the place for a couple of months. In the meantime, the new tenant has to clear out of the current apartment at the end of the month. The only logical solution is to rent a storage unit and live with a friend or relative in the interim. Here are some tips on putting that storage unit to good use.
Keeping Only the Essentials
While packing items to store, it makes sense to set aside items that have not been used for years. Those can be donated or given to loved ones instead of being hauled to the new place. Along with simplifying the packing, this also makes room to buy some new furnishings once the move does take place. Most people like the idea of purchasing a few things when they move into new Apartments in Coweta County anyway, so having the non-essentials out of the way will make room for those new purchases.
Uniform Boxes
Uniform boxes make it easier to stack the boxes in the storage unit and in moving trucks. Use the heavier boxes for the bottom of the stacks and save the lighter ones to go on top. Remember to pack like items in the same box and use a marker to write notes about the contents on the side of each of the boxes. Doing so will make the process of unpacking later on much easier.
First In Last Out
Tenants would do well to use the layouts of their new Apartments in Coweta County as inspiration for arranging items in the storage unit or when packing a moving truck. Basically, the first things to go into the unit should be the last thing to come off the moving van when the big day arrives. This makes it easy to start at the back of the van, carry those items to the rooms that are the most distance from the front door of the apartment. When those last items come off the van, they will logically be placed in the living room of the apartment, and the tenant will find it easier to set up each room in turn.
