storage units for family fun equipment

Do you live in an apartment with your family? Do you find it difficult to find the space that is needed for the equipment and things you need for family fun? I was having a very hard time finding room in my apartment for the summer fun equipment for the entire family. Our family really enjoys going on bike rides together, but we didn't have anywhere at the apartment to store bikes of our own, so we would rent bikes at the local trail. I finally had enough with spending the money on the rentals and bought each member of the family a bike. We have since used a storage unit to store the bikes and many things we need for family fun. Find out how we have maximized our family fun by utilizing a storage unit.

The Essential Items To Add To Your Moving Checklist

The process of moving can be quite overwhelming, with so many things that need to all align on your moving day. That's why it's very possible to not be prepared and end up scrambling at the last moment. You can avoid those hassles by using a moving checklist to keep yourself on track. Here are a few essential things to put on the list.

Hire a Moving Company

The very first thing that you should do is hire professional movers. If you choose a popular moving day, like a weekend or the last day of the month, it's very possible that movers will be booked a month or two in advance. Get on top of hiring your moving company so that you can ensure that your moving day is reserved. If not, you may end up having to rent a truck and do all the heavy lifting on your own.

Declutter Your Home

Moving is a great time to declutter your home and get rid of everything that you don't need anymore. If not, you'll just be wasting time and resources to move all the clutter to your new home and get rid of it later. A great way to do this is by sorting items into categories to either trash, recycle, or donate. This can help you think of what you want to do with it and take action immediately. Trashed and recycled items can go into the appropriate waste bins, and you can build a collection of items to donate all at once.

Buy Packing Material

Don't think that you can get by with using the packing material you have on hand. Moving boxes are essential to ensure that everything is packed safely and securely. They stack on top of each other in the moving truck in a way that is tight so that they do not shift around. It also prevents you from packing boxes with materials that are too heavy, since there are recommendations about what goes in the boxes. 

Notify the Utility Company

Chances are that you'll need to shut off or transfer your utilities as you move to a new home. Schedule these services to be handled appropriately by the right date so that you do not have an interruption in service, or end up paying for the utilities of the next tenant. This can take some time to do, so schedule to do it prior to your moving date.
