All right, so you decided it is time to take the plunge and remodel your house, so what's next? You probably didn't even think about moving, you have been really busy with budget issues and now you are facing an unexpected problem. And this can be a real problem, because it takes money and time, mostly your time. When it comes to remodeling, you need to include moving expenses in the budget, sometimes it is even more expensive than if you would move to the different place. If you do not have a garage to place your stuff in during the remodeling, or if your garage will be remodeled as well, then in addition to the packing materials and moving expenses (truck and movers) you will need to add a storage expenses. Here are some useful tips for packing your stuff for long-term storing:

• do not use packing tape for wrapping your furniture in moving blankets, use rubber bands instead. They will not leave ugly marks on your couches and furniture as usually bad quality, cheap packing tapes do (and movers use the cheapest packing tapes)

• make sure you have rubber bands for wrapping your furniture in blankets, take small, medium and large size rubber bands. They are available in our online store.

• get used boxes, that are cheap and in a very good condition

• lots of free used boxes can be found locally

• use plastic covers for big, bulky items
• use economy grade blankets for wrapping furniture

• you can do moving yourself before remodeling and it is highly recommended to hire professional movers when you move back in your new, remodeled house

• if you hire professional movers to help you with your move back after remodeling, use their blankets to cover your floors
