A Checklist for Before and After You’ve Moved

Please take advantage of our moving tips and moving advice. Print this page and carry it with you before and several days after the move. Moving tips that may seem obvious can be easily over looked. Take our moving advice and utilize this checklist before and after you have moved.

 

  • Take Notes  Make a note of your shipment registration number and keep it with you in case you need to call your mover with questions about your shipment.
  • Get the Bed Ready  Designate one drawer of a dresser for sheets and towels so that you won’t have to rummage through boxes for these essentials the first night in your new home.
  • Don’t forget about the Fridge  After you’ve thoroughly cleaned and dried the inside of your refrigerator, put a handful of fresh coffee, baking soda or charcoal in a sock or nylon stocking and place it inside to keep the interior smelling fresh.
  • Keep the Phone Book  Take your current phone book with you. You may need to make calls to residents or businesses back in your former hometown.
  • Pack Heavy – Pack Light  Pack heavy items in small boxes and lighter items in larger boxes.
  • Give out your NumberBefore the van foreman leaves for your destination residence, give him a phone number where you can be reached. It is also a good idea to provide him with an alternate contact in case you can’t be reached.
  • Protect Your Memories  If it’s irreplaceable, take it with you in the car (you don’t want regrets later).  But if you do decide to pack framed photos or art, place sheets or blankets between them for added protection.
  • Know how to Pack Plates and Records  Plates and record albums should be packed on end vertically, rather than placed flat and stacked.
  • Remember the Bare Necessities  Toilet paper, telephone, toiletries, snacks, coffee (and pot), soap, flashlight, screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups, utensils, a couple of pans, paper towels, and cleaning supplies are some of the essentials you may need upon arrival at your new home. Pack a box with these types of items and ask your van foreman to load it last so that it will be unloaded first.
  • Unscrew Bulbs  Remove bulbs before packing your lamps.
  • Tag your Items  For your garage sale, tag all items and be prepared to wheel and deal. Garage sale gurus love to haggle.
  • Give the Kids an Exercise  Have children write their names and new address on the cartons from their rooms so they can become familiar with their new street and town.
  • Help your Pet Relax  Keep your pet calm and away from all the activity on moving day by arranging for a friend to watch him at their house.
  • Be Nice to Your Plants  When moving plants to your new residence via your car, try not to let foliage rest against the windows, as the leaves will scorch.
  • Take a Break from the Computer  Upon arrival at your new home, let your computer “acclimate” itself to room temperature before plugging it in.
  • Enjoy the Help  Leave the rest to the professionals, sit back and relax, and look forward to the new opportunities, friends and experiences that are part of any move. Be sure to get a good night’s rest before the pickup and delivery days!

Vehicle Storage

Self storage units are a convenient place to store vehicles of virtually any type.  Keeping your car, truck,van, RV, ATV, golf cart, boat, motorcycle, jet ski or trailer at a storage facility frees up valuable space on your property or in your garage.  Since most storage facilities rent on a month-to-month basis, this makes storing vehicles during the off-season or during extended periods of travel and excellent solution.

Accommodations for vehicle storage vary from facility to facility.  Some offer uncovered areas, others provide parking lots with roofs.  Smaller vehicles like jet ski and motorcycles can be stored inside a typical enclosed unit.  Certain facilities have a dedicated area for RV’s with a choice of covered or uncovered parking spaces.

Here are some options to consider when deciding where to store your vehicle:

What types of units and open spaces are offered for vehicles.

What size units or spaces are available.

Hours of operation for bringing, removing and accessing your vehicle.

Is the facility clean and neat.

What security features are available at the site.

Most facilities have a few basic rules for vehicle storage:

Vehicles must be drivable.

Vehicles must be registered and insured and copy on file in the management office.

Tires must be inflated.

StoreRight Self Storage offers garage type roll up door units and uncovered parking spaces for vehicle storage.

Please visit our office at 5355 US Hwy One for a complete tour of the facility .

Storage and Hurricanes: What’s the connection?

It is that time of year again. Hurricane Season and we have already had our first named storm. When you think hurricanes I am very sure that storage is the furthest thing from your mind. You are concentrating more on evacuation route, supplies and other various emergency measures.

Let’s take a moment to think outside the box, or rather inside it as this case may be, lol. There can be benefits of getting a storage unit in the case of a hurricane. If you are in an area that is prone to flooding storage can be beneficial in a preventative measure. StoreRight in Brooksville is not prone to flooding so you could take some of your items and store them here and know that they are safe and sound.

It is also very important to remember the benefits of insurance. Every storage facility offers it but very rarely do people think about getting it, it is just an extra cost to them. When it comes to protection of your items isn’t it worth the cost to know it safe even if the worst was to happen? On the subject of cost though it is not even that bad for $5,000 in coverage it is only a small $.33 a day! Now that is doable!

Hurricane Season

Hurricane season had officially started. It runs from June thru November.  Those of us in the coastal areas knows that could mean as many as 25 or 30 big storms.  Those storms have the potential to hit businesses , ruin homes and can cause serious damage to entire towns.  The National Hurricane Center stresses the importance of early preparation.     You probably already know that you should have an emergency plan. , if not here are  some of the basic hurricane safety actions from the National Hurricane Center are:

Know if you live in an evacuation area. Know your home’s vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind.  Have a written plan .

Keep a disaster supply kit containing : water, food, flashlight and extra batteries, first aid kit and battery-powered or hand crank radio  ( for a complete list you can go to www ready.gov/basic-disaster-supplies-kit )

During the season monitor the tropics.

Monitor NOAA Weather Radio the official source for real-time weather information and warnings.

If the storm threatens, heed the advice for your local authorities. Evacuate if ordered.

Part of prepping for a hurricane is clearing stuff out of your yard.  Where are you going to put it ? A garage is a good place but if you don’t have one or you have no more space in the garage, consider renting a storage unit for the season.

It will also provide a place to secure valuable  and sentimental property .  They can be useful to store everything from medicine supplies, emergency water and valuable paperwork.  Remember computer files should be backed up.

When packing your storage unit, place heavy objects on the ground.  If you need to stack boxes, stack lighter boxes on the top and  arrange furniture flat on the ground.  Bookcases and heavy standing objects can cause damage if they fall.

StoreRight Self Storage can provide you with all your storage needs and invite you to reserve your space early.   We would also recommend that your belongings are insured properly.  Please call our office or stop by for insurance options.
