Exercise

Sign up for a gym membership three months before your move. Visit the gym at least 4 days a week and do some heavy lifting.


Get Help

You can't move everything by yourself, so you need to make lots of "friends". But don't worry, we have a tip for you how to get rid of your unwanted "friends" when the move is complete.


Downsize

Now it's time to get rid of unwanted items. You don’t need your old bathtub or toilet; you already have one in your new home.


Pack

Gather moving boxes and start packing. Remember, you can't pack cat and mouse in the same box; they don't click. Make sure to tape both sides of the box so they will not escape.


Rent a Truck

You will need to rent a moving truck for large items, because they will not fit in your car. Make sure to rent a dolly too, it's cheaper than a hospital bill.


Safety

Remember - safety first or hospital next. Think of safety as a cheap and effective insurance policy.


Load a Truck

Start loading the truck. If you have large and heavy items, it's not ok to cut them in half, but it’s ok to beat the hell out of them.


DIY or Hire Movers

If you don’t want to get hurt, you can always hire us to load that truck for you. And in case if you get hurt, go straight to hospital before tweeting about it.


Drive a Truck

When driving a moving truck, you need to realize that you're not driving your everyday car. Having a license doesn’t make you a good truck driver.


Check Your Home

Inspect your new home when you arrive; make sure the old residents are out before you move in.


Unload a Truck

Start unloading the truck with your friends, if they are still around, of course. Do not forget the safety part and remember that - Teamwork makes the Dreamwork!


No More Friends

Now back to how to get rid of your unwanted "friends". When the move is complete, ask your "friends" if they can help you move your uncle's 5-bedroom house tomorrow.
