We used <i>Smooth Moves</i> out of Calgary, and the move really <i>was</i> smooth! <b><font size="3"><b><free Moving Quotes ><a href="http://affiliate.homebulletin.net/z/1/CD5/">Free Moving Quotes Click Here</a>></b></font></b></font></b></p> <p align="left"><b><font size="3">We never take down the Beds, so they can be kept intact and put directly into the Bedrooms.</font></b></p> <p align="left"><b><font size="3">Here's a little trick to get the Beds ready to sleep in that night (if it's a one-day move-in) -- Fold all the bedding, starting with the Fitted Sheet, into the center. (Just pull each corner out and bring it to the center.) Bundle it all up and transport it to your new house in your own vehicle, that way it won't get dirty.</font></b></p> <p align="left"><b><font size="3">As soon as the Movers leave, you can go in and quickly make the beds -- that way, you'll all get a good night's sleep after a very busy and tiring day!</font></b></p> <p><a href="images/old%20pics/movingvan2lg.jpg" target="_self"><img src="images/old%20pics/movingvan2sm.jpg" width="199" height="132" border="0"></a> <a href="images/old%20pics/movingvan1lg.jpg" target="_self"><img src="images/old%20pics/movingvan1sm.jpg" width="203" height="132" border="0"></a> </p> <p align="left">Be sure to have everything packed before the Movers arrive. You'd be surprised how many people wait until the last second to start packing (how big a job can <i>that </i>be???), then you're wasting valuable Time and Money trying to run around like a crazy person at the end, in an attempt to move your stuff.</p> <p align="left">It's always shocking how much stuff you accumulate between moves, no matter how old you are. Sometimes, this is a good time to 'lighten the load' and sell some of your stuff or give it to a local Charity (or a little of both...).</p> <p align="left">If you have a Trailer that needs to be moved to your new house, anyway, fill it to the brim with boxes -- why not?? Might as well use the extra space! We filled our Trailer to capacity, parked it beside the new house, and realized we've only used it for Storage for the past 4 years! (The entire time I was pregnant with Aidan and all of the time since!) So I think I have convinced Dwight that it is time to sell the Caravan ('Trailer' for the non-British readers!). </p> <p align="left">I realized that we hadn't used it since the onset of Aidan (our 3 year old son!) when Aidan and I were out emptying out the Caravan, and Aidan went in and said, <b>&quot;Wow! There's a whole little <i>HOUSE</i> in here!&quot; </b>And so, I felt quite remiss as a parent, not having taken Aidan camping, yet, but he is a little too crazy to camp with, at this stage of the game ... we have locks galore in this house, to prevent him from going out and never coming back, so camping would be a bit too hairy for us right now!</p> <p align="left">He ran away once (I say <i><b>ONCE</b></i>, because Dwight promised he would <b> <i>never</i></b> leave Aidan outside alone, again, in a poor attempt to 'make him into a man'...ugh!)and it was absolutely horrifying, since we live very close to the Highwood River (1 Lot over), and there is a huuuuge cliff that is completely unguarded (because the 'natural lay of the land' is apparently more important than human life in Alberta ... ). There's never a safe place for 2 year olds to be on their own -- especially outside -- and it was particularly difficalt because Aidan's hair happens to be the exact same color of the 'Wheat-grass'. Pretty scary stuff, so the extra locks went in the next day.</p> <p align="left">< <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-7839353132082894"; google_ad_width = 180; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "180x90_0ads_al"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "336699"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_url = "008000"; google_color_text = "000000"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> ></p> <p align="left"><<a href="http://affiliate.homebulletin.net/z/4/CD5/"><img src="http://affiliate.homebulletin.net/42/5/4" alt="Moving Services" border="0"></a>></p> <p align="left"><<a href="http://affiliate.homebulletin.net/z/9/CD5/"><img src="http://affiliate.homebulletin.net/42/5/9" alt="Free Moving Quotes" border="0"></a>></p> <p align="left"><<a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-1073443-9879217" target="_blank" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.servicemagic.com';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=' ';return true;"> <img src="http://www.qksrv.net/image-1073443-9879217" width="468" height="60" alt="" border="0"></a>></p> <p align="left"><b>Find out <a href="stage6/moving/articles/sellhouse.htm" target="_self">How to Sell Your Home</a>, <a href="stage6/moving/Buy%20Your%20Own%20Home!.htm" target="_self">How to Buy Your First Home</a>, <a href="stage6/moving/basic/Money.htm" target="_self">Everything You Want to Know about Mortgages that No One Will Ever Tell You (!)</a>, <a href="stage6/moving/basic/realestate.html" target="_self">Investing in Real Estate for Your Retirement </a>(or just to Get Rich! ha,ha,ha!)...
