movers<\/a> are late, you come across a drawer you thought you\u2019d emptied. You get the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s no way to predict what kind of shenanigans are in store, so the best you can do is be prepared and have the right supplies for those just-in-case moments on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MOVING SUPPLIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve come up with five indispensable items that will help you feel like a member of moving day Mensa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. TOOTHPASTE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your landlord told you not to put holes into the drywall, but you forgot. Now you\u2019re moving and the walls need to look smooth. Here\u2019s where the toothpaste comes in. Simply dab a little white paste (skip the blue gel) onto your finger, rub it into the nail or screw hole, and scrape off the excess paste. Touch it up with a little paint, and you\u2019re good to go. It\u2019s not as good as spackle, but it\u2019s great in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. SKATEBOARD OR OTHER WHEELED DEVICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Why carry something heavy when you can roll it? Skateboards can be remarkably effective in getting hefty boxes from Point A to Point B. Sure, you\u2019ll have to make sure the boxes don\u2019t fall off the board, but it beats straining your back. Just remember\u2014boards do have a weight limit, so don\u2019t go bananas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. PERMANENT MARKERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A biggie. We all have plans to be completely organized and make a spreadsheet that details what boxes contain which items. But during the chaos of moving day, planning can fly out the window. Hence, the need for a marker you can count on. You\u2019ll be writing on boxes, and odds are any last-minute contents will be random and impossible to remember without writing down. One of my boxes has these words scrawled on it: \u201cDarth Vader Potato Head, extra phone chargers, grandma\u2019s sandals, slides from trip to Branson.\u201d You get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. TAPE DISPENSER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Of course you need packing tape. But what you might consider skimping on is the dispenser. Don\u2019t. Spring for a good tape dispenser. The last thing you need when you\u2019re trying to pack boxes is to accidentally tape your fingers together or get the tape stuck to itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. WHITE SHOE POLISH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If your baseboards are white, odds are they have a few scuffs and scratches. A little bit of white shoe polish can help wipe away the wear and tear, leave your former landlord a happy camper, and increase your likelihood of getting your deposit back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
