- You should add all the utilities you need to reconnect and disconnect to your list. (Electricity, water, gas, cable, trash collection, etc). Remember to change your new address on all accounts.
- You will also need to change you address with the local post office. You may want to set up a forwarding service.
- Complete your own checklist, moving boxes, different rooms, trucks, help. It’s up to you to decide what things you need on your moving check list. This site will give you a good indication of what sort of things you need to take into consideration.
