Here are the 7 rules of moving. If you want your move to happen with very few hitches and you still want to have your friends after the move is over.
Rule 1: Never pack any box that you yourself can't carry. Just because you have a large refrigerator box doesn't mean you need to fill it with your old textbooks.
Rule 2: Never move at 10pm on New Year's Eve. How did I get rooked into this one?
Rule 3: Always pack you stuff in boxes, never in plastic bags. Unless it's blankets or pillows.
Rule 4: All boxes must be taped or glued shut on the bottom and the top. Pots and pans all over the porch.
Rule 5: Never start unpacking your boxes while there are still boxes on the truck. A recent court ruling deems this as precedent for justifiable homicide by your friends.
Rule 6: Never tell your family the issues brought up in the inspection. Unless they are willing to pay for them.
Rule 7: Don't be packing as people are taking your boxes out to the truck. If the boxes aren't ready to go then don't make me come over so early. I have sleeping to get done.
So that is what I have learend by helping people move. Also here is just a lesson I learned moving an ex-girlfriend. Don't move a couch with a teeny tiny girl! That was the stupidest thing I have ever done.
Anyway write these rules down if you are going to be moving or know someone who will be moving soon.
