Q: What should you not pack in a moving truck?

• <div><p>There are some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dont-pack-these-household-items-when-you-move.htm">household items movers won&rsquo;t pack</a>, while there are others that are important to keep on your person during the move. Don&rsquo;t pack the following items: </p><ul><li><p>Poisonous, hazardous, flammable, or explosive items, including some cleaners, matches, alcohol, and paint</p></li><li><p>Perishable food items</p></li><li><p>Pets and plants</p></li><li><p>Irreplaceable items and documents, such as your passport, will, and medical records</p></li></ul><p></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: How far in advance should I plan my office move?

• <div><p>Planning your office move should ideally start <b>three to six months or more</b> in advance. This timeframe allows plenty of time for tasks such as researching moving companies, creating a budget, coordinating with employees, decluttering and organizing, packing, and addressing any logistical challenges. Starting early also ensures that you have flexibility in scheduling and can handle unexpected hiccups that may arise during the planning process. </p></div>

Q: How difficult is it to move a washer and dryer?

• <div><p>Moving a washer and dryer can be difficult due to the appliances&rsquo; weight and size. If you need to move these appliances up or down stairs, then it will be more challenging. It also depends on the type of dryer you have, as a gas dryer is more complicated to disconnect than an electric dryer. The difficulty of the task also depends on whether you&rsquo;re easily wheeling the washer and dryer up a moving truck&rsquo;s loading ramp or lifting them yourself. </p></div>

Q: What expenses will I have to pay after moving?

• <div><p>Once you complete the moving process, you&rsquo;ll have to transition into paying for your new living expenses, including monthly rent or mortgage payments. You should also consider the cost of property taxes, utilities, and new furnishings for your home.</p></div>
