9 Simple tips to protect you and your things while moving

Mankind, being pack rats, tends to gather a lot of clutter over the years --things of use, of sentimental value, gifts, brick-a brack, and family heirlooms. Some are treasured while others tolerated. When the time comes to move there are hard and heartrending decisions to make.
Determine how much you are allowed to take with you.
Find out the floor space in your new home. Be practical and:
? Make a list of "must haves."
? Arrange to put all other things in storage or have an auction or garage sale.
? Put aside things you want to give to charity.
? Disconnect, clean, and repair appliances a week before packers arrive.
? Make arrangements to transport plants and pets or find new homes for them. Most packers will not transport plants and pets. You will need to take them by car, train, or plane to your new destination....
