Moving day will be here before you know it. You've been creating your to-do lists and checking off your tasks. Here is a to-do list of the things you should do (and not do) before your movers arrive from Cheap Denver Movers (see company website).

Things You SHOULD Do

Find out what the movers won't pack.

The propane tank and weed killer you keep in your garage will not go in the moving truck. They pose a hazard so you will have to transport these items yourself. Most reputable moving companies have a list of things they won't pack. Just ask for this list. Click here for things that most movers prohibit.

Get rid of things you want to donate or throw away.

Check your refrigerator and cupboards for any food you need to discard. Take the box of old baby clothes to the women's shelter, so it's out of the way. Anything that's left will go in the moving truck.

Label your boxes.

You might not think it's a big deal now, but searching for your cooking utensils only to find them in the bathroom of your new home can be annoying. Label each box with the room or area where they belong. You will thank yourself later.

Take pictures of your cherished items.

You don't want to think that the moving company you hired will lose or damage your things, but it sometimes happens. Go through your home and snap pictures of each piece from different sides. If anything happens to your grandmother's curio cabinet or your formal dinnerware, the photos will help when you file the insurance claim.

Things You Should NOT Do

Don't leave.

This one may seem simple, but you need to be there when the movers pack up your belongings. It is crucial if you have children or pets that could otherwise get in the way.

Don't expect the movers to know what to pack or leave behind.

Only you will know what to throw in the dumpster or donate to the thrift store. The movers will not be as discerning. Their job is to pack up what they see.

Don't forget to unload your appliances.

Remind yourself to remove your clean laundry from the dryer. Make sure your dishwasher is empty. Movers will not check inside these places.

Don't assume the movers decide when they finish the job.

It's up to you to determine when they have packed all boxes and items. When all your belongings are out of your home, walk through each room one more time to make sure the movers packed everything they were supposed to.

Moving day doesn't have to be stressful. Knowing what you should and should not do before the movers arrive will make moving day a breeze.
