Q: Can you move a tiny house on skids?

• <div><p>Yes, you can move a tiny house on skids, although it will be costly to do so frequently. Skids are essentially hefty timbers you can attach a chain to to move the entire structure. People often build their tiny homes on top of the skids, allowing them to be more portable. However, it&rsquo;s not as simple of a move as a house on wheels, so it&rsquo;s a more complicated move.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to drain a dishwasher before moving it?

• <div><p>If the dishwasher is in working condition, start and run a complete cycle with nothing inside. Let it drain and sit overnight before removing the hoses. In theory, it should effectively drain. You may find residual water in the hoses, but you can plug them. If the dishwasher breaks down midcycle it can sometimes be full of water. You&rsquo;ll need to manually remove the water with a plastic cup before removing the dishwasher. </p></div>

Q: Do movers expect you to help?

• <div><p>It can be tempting to want to help your movers as they pack or transport your belongings, but in general, most movers prefer their customers to stay out of the way. Rest assured that your movers are confident in their skills and the process will likely go faster without your help. If you see something concerning, let your movers know right away so they can adjust or remedy the issue.</p></div>

Q: How can I minimize business disruption during a move?

• <div><p>Planning ahead is essential&mdash;this will give you the chance to coordinate your move during weekends or after business hours, and set up essential services in your new office before moving day to minimize downtime. Start by creating a detailed timeline and checklist for every phase of the move, from <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-unpacking-moving-boxes.htm">packing to unpacking</a>. Inform your employees, clients, and vendors about the move well in advance, including any expected disruptions and how you plan to manage them. Delegate responsibilities to ensure all aspects of the move are covered. Lastly, set up the essentials at the new location first to resume operations quickly. </p></div>

Q: Do I need permits when moving across the country?

• <div><p>If you are hiring professional movers, their company will handle any permits and similar arrangements. But if you are renting a truck to move yourself, you may have to pay permits when moving across state lines or away from a specific city or town. Research your move and its requirements as you plan. Most states, cities, and even rental companies offer useful information about what permits you may need.</p></div>
