Getting ready for your big move? No doubt, you’ll be doing your own packing, as you should. Although this might not be your first move, there is always an opportunity to learn new packing tricks. For instance, no box you pack should weigh over 50 pounds. This will make handling them a bit easier. You want to make sure everything is wrapped carefully. It’s vital that you don’t let anything rattle around in those boxes. Having space in between the stuff in a box can lead to it breaking if the box is shaken. You should also pack similar items together. That might seem like a no brainer, but in a scramble to get everything done before moving day, you could end up putting the coffee pot in with the family photo albums.

It is important that your boxes are labeled as to their destination. If you’re moving into a place with a lot of rooms, then you should tape a sign on each door designating what that room is. This will insure your movers will know where to put things. As you start to pack, you might come across a few questionable items. The “question” in this case would be, “Why am I bringing this junk to my new home?” The answer is you shouldn’t! That is why you might consider hiring Junk King for a junk hauling session before the move.
When you set up a junk hauling session with Junk King you’re going to be bringing in a very capable two-man team who will do all the heavy lifting. Same with your movers. Getting rid of your junk before you move is also going to save you money. Every box or big item that your movers have to deal with is going to slow them down. Can you imagine them loading up a couch only to have that couch end up in your garage?
Perhaps it will help to picture the wide-open space you’re moving into. Do you want that instantly cluttered up with stuff you’re never going to use again? One call to Junk King can have it all gone. Remember, when you hire Junk King you’re also hiring a green company. They’ll make sure that if you have anything that could be donated or recycled it will end up at the proper drop off site. Using Junk King for junk hauling will insure that your life in a new home gets off on the right foot.

Instead, you could consider some simple and affordable fixes that could totally transform your place. We’re talking about pain and furniture. Both of those options offer up a lot of possibilities. Even a home with white walls would benefit from have a fresh coat of paint. You could consider switching things up a bit by tapping in to a wide range of yellows, blues, reds and greens for your choice of new paint color. As for replacing your old furniture, that will take a bit of shopping and call to Junk King Boston.
In the mood to take in some holiday decorations? You’ll find plenty to “ooooo” and “ahhhh” about over at Copley Square, Boston Common and Faneuil Hall. Those areas have pulled out the stops this year and the decorations have never looked better. If you want a unique perspective on holiday decorating, you might want to check out the upside down trees at the Liberty Hotel. While there make sure you get a hot cocoa! While in downtown Boston, be sure to look out for the Downtown Boston Brass. They’ll be making the rounds spreading holiday cheer through wonderful music. There is also a special Spirit of Boston cocktail cruise. Everyone is invited to wear the ugliest Christmas sweater they can find. If that doesn’t say “Merry Christmas,” nothing will!
