Please phone 623-3303 and ask for the Real Estate Sales Department Money to be Saved when Moving by Paddy Bateman Even if you've made the decision to have a professional mover handle everything related to your move for you, you may still have an interest in saving a few dollars. If -that's the case, sayg Robert Clay, vice president of sales and marketing for Allied Van Lines, consider handling some of the packing chores yourself. "Most household goods," he says, "can be. divided into three categories: furniture, appliances and household goods. Furniture and appliances, partly partly because they are often bulky and heavy, and sometimes quite valuable, should be handled by an experienced professional mover. Many household goods, however, can be packed by a homeowner, thereby saving both the time and expense involved in having the mover take on the task. This can, however, mean the goods are carried at owners' risk. Household Goods Household goods, according to Clay, can be anything from clothing, bedding and linens to books, children's children's toys and small items of sentimental sentimental value. Personal and household cleaning and maintenance supplies, if they are inflammable, can also often be economically packed by the householder. The same is true for canned goods and other non- perishable foods. Pack for Protection "The trick," says Clay, "is to pack for maximum protection, to make sure your possessions arrive in the best possible damage-free condition. That means not only using the right containers, but also in packing the right way.

Glasses should always be packed open mouth down in boxes that provide a cushion between each piece. That way, no matter how much they bounce around, there's little risk of chipping or breakage. It's also an easier way to pack, because there's no need to wrap each glass individually individually for protection." When it comes to precious personal personal possessions, like grandmother's antique cup collection, the experts say that far too many householders think wrapping the items in sheets or towels before putting them in their boxes will do the job. Wrong! Fragile Items Anything fragile should be wrapped in bubble-pack, and then placed in a box surrounded by styro foam 'peanuts' for absolute protection, protection, they say. It may take a bit more time, but the confidence in safe passage passage is well worth the effort. And, they add, there won't be the problem of linens spread through a dozen or more boxes. Children's Toys Children's toys should be packed with the favourites going in last. That allows them to play until just before you leave, and returns their most precious possessions almost immediately immediately after you arrive. No one wants to add the tension' created by a child who can't find a favourite teddy bear or doll the first night in a new home. Experts also suggest that if you're packing items with many small parts, like puzzles, that you tape the boxes closed to make sure none slip out. And don't forget to keep out that one special toy to keep your child amused while you're travelling to.your new home. Pack for Storage "Every household in Canada, regardless regardless of size, usually has little- used personal possessions stored away in a basement, closet or garage. Now's the time to go through those containers and sort out the items that aren't really ever going to be used again. It might also be time to have that garage sale or, if possible, to pass them along to a charitable organization." organization." Packing for storage, explains Clay, means sorting out the items that you know you won't be using in the near term or regularly, and marking the containers so that you can easily move them to the appropriate place To Page 26 NATIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICE® NRS EDVAN REALTY LTD.
