Q: How do I move a heavy couch upstairs?

• <div><p>Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.</p><p>Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You&rsquo;ll still need to lift the dolly&mdash;with the couch on it&mdash;up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.</p><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.</p></div>

Q: How can I cut costs on moving?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-ways-save-money-your-next-move.htm">save money when moving</a> by packing and moving items yourself. You can also find ways to cut costs by shopping for packing supplies at discounted stores and getting free moving boxes instead of purchasing them. It also pays off to declutter your belongings prior to starting the moving process. Remember, the fewer items you have, the fewer packing supplies you have to buy, and you can rent a smaller moving truck or container, too.</p></div>

Q: How do long-distance moves work?

• <div><p>Moving across state lines is a similar process to moving within a state. Packing, loading, and unloading of trucks will follow the same process. The primary difference is during transportation, where your belongings may be loaded onto a dedicated moving truck or combined with other shipments, depending on the distance. Your moving company will offer tracking and ongoing communication of your boxes. </p></div>

Q: Can you move a fish tank with water in it?

• <div><p>Never attempt to move a partially-filled tank, especially with the fish still in it. Even a minor alteration or adjustment in your movement can cause the water to move, disrupting the balance and potentially causing you to drop the tank or strain your back to prevent it from falling. However, you should maintain enough water on the bottom to keep the substrate slightly submerged during transit.</p></div>

Q: How do you transport fish when moving long-distance?

• <div><p>Cross-country moves are tricky and risky for your fish, so it&rsquo;s often best to move the fish separately or rehome them. If you&rsquo;re attached to your animals and determined to bring them, find a friend to house them and ship them to you once the new tank is ready. You can also contact your local fish store and ask if they offer temporary housing and shipping services until you get settled. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-move-to-another-country.htm">moving to another country</a>, it&rsquo;s often best to sell the tank and fish, or find a good home locally. </p></div>
