Moving house is one of those experiences that are sure to invoke “oh, you sweet summer child” reactions if it’s your first time. Especially if you’re naively excited about it.

Take it from someone who’s already moved twice: it’s an adventure, all right, but not a romantic one. More akin to the journey Frodo Baggins had to endure on his way to Mt. Doom and then some. Spoiler: he walked 1,300 miles.

To help illustrate the struggle, we present you with some of the best tweets out there on the topic of packing, moving, and everything in-between.

Truth. We just finished moving. I still have a box sitting here that contains, bread flour, a clock, a can of WD-40, some personal files, a pair a scissors and two bottles of BBQ sauce. It also had a cushion, but I unpacked that. Its on the couch.

    Helping each other move is fun when you're young. But last time I did this, I was in my fourties and I found myself carrying boxes that seemed to be filled with nothing but old newspapers (!) While my small kids and my sick parent were waiting at home. That's when I realised: my friends earn enough money now, let them hire professional movers.

    I was surprised how much it cost to hire professionals. They have a truck and three guys that can lift twice as much as I could at the time and all they needed was somebody to show them where to put it. In an hour or so they had everything done, I would spend two days with it. We moved some 80 kilometers away (50 miles) and we paid only about 8000 crowns, which is ~350 dollars. Before you move, ask pros how much it costs, you might be surprised. With friends it would probably cost the same just in gas for cars.

    When moving my son we found we could hire guys to load a rental truck and others to unload. We rented the truck. Loading and unloading was a fraction of the time it would have taken us, saving both my back and wallet. The first move was from Tampa to Atlanta then back to Tampa three years later. The moving company he had originally hired said the truck they were putting his stuff on (partial load with someone else) got cancelled so the $875 he was expecting to pay was now over $3K. that was when he learned about the loading and unloading guys. Total was around $750.

    Without making it too complicated, let’s just say that moving house is a pain. Not only because of the physical effort required, but also because it feels like a never-ending story that scales depending on how big your house is and how much stuff you have.

    Which? has a moving home checklist that isn’t too complex to make you feel like reality is hitting hard and isn’t too short so as to leave you wondering where half of your stuff is.

    Oh, Gods, we have four adults in our household, and the youngest is in their upper 50's. (Oldest is in 80's.) We tried renting houses, but each time, after 2-3 years, the owner would 'want to move back in', and we had to start the process all over again. After 3 or 4 of those cycles, it was *killing* us, physically and financially, so we made a concerted effort and managed to swing our Forever Home. All mostly on a single level, too - very few stairs to negotiate. Quiet neighborhood, lots of trees, close to DC, big lot - AND NO HOA!

    In a nutshell, moving house is a process that can span months. Sure, moving day is often just a day, if not two, but that’s only just one side of it. You still gotta worry about figuring out the logistics, start canceling and settling your utility and other domestic services, start packing and otherwise start disconnecting both physically and emotionally from the place you (probably) used to call home until now.

    “Bonus points” if you’re moving to a new place because that’s a whole other can of beans that requires a completely separate checklist.

    When I move into this house I had ordered exactly one piece of furniture, a sofa bed. I had planned to use it for all sitting, sleeping and dining as the house had used all my money. They called the day of the move to say delivery had been delayed for 7 weeks. That was a long time on bare concrete floors 24/7

    If you haven’t seen it yet, legendary stand-up comedian George Carlin has a skit about stuff that perfectly sums up the nuance and complexity of moving. It’s not about a permanent move, but the struggle is essentially the same.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Besides having to move your stuff, the skit also points out a very human issue of having more space than you have stuff. The solution to that is, more often than not, getting more stuff. And then your next moving experience is going to be even more elaborately ridiculous.

    There are a dozen hacks and things that you can do to minimize the struggle. The first big step is to plan, prepare, and be organized. At this point, you can book movers early, plan the logistics, call the various house services companies and get all the utilities sorted for the old and the new place, and, most importantly, start the packing process.

    By packing far in advance, you’re saving time, which will be a luxury during the days before the actual move. But this also allows you to do some spring cleaning while you’re packing.

    Do a mental check on all the things you pack and ask yourself whether you’ll need it in your new place. By setting certain criteria, like have I used this in the last 2 years?, you’re also minimizing the amount of stuff you’ll actually have to move all the while bringing less (or zero) clutter into your tabula rasa of a home.

    Just weekend bag? Wow, you are brave. We packed two suitcases (to make sure it will not get mixed with boxes), one with cloths for a week and one with food for a week. We knew that there will be no time to cook, so we prepared food in advance and bought some instant meals, so we were free to unpack and set everything. (Then we learned that we underestimated a lot of things, for example, make sure that you have Internet connection where you move.)

    A friend of mine moved across the country before their house sold. So there were still a few things in it that her husband planned to come back and get. She asked me to stop by and get a some things to ship to her - and I found that she left ALL her underwear in the dryer. Good thing the house hadn't sold yet or the new owners would have been in for a surprise when they went to do laundry! :) How the hell do you forget your underpants???

    It helps to always be on the lookout for boxes—check with local businesses if they have any spare boxes, or you can also look up if anyone in your area might be giving them away on Facebook Marketplace. Worst case scenario, Home Depot.

    Once the box situation is sorted out, start filling them up. After filtering out the junk from the treasure, put the heavier stuff at the bottom so it’s not crushed (or it is not the one crushing), leaving no room in the box. It helps to group items into a single box if those items belong in a particular room, and to label the boxes accordingly.

    Needless to say, safety is important so, at the very least, make sure your boxes are taped up well and the more valuable or fragile things are stored away in safer containers. If specialized storage is not an option, use leftover packing peanuts or other packaging materials to fluff them up. And since you will very likely be transporting your wardrobe, you can use anything from hoodies to caps to dresses to keep your fragiles in order.

    A key thing many people don’t necessarily think about during the chaos that is moving is meeting your new neighbors. Moving.com recommends doing so immediately after moving in as it tends to be less awkward.

    While the moving process itself can be a great ice-breaker for this, it relies on the neighbor actually running into you during the move. If that doesn’t happen, you can always take initiative and simply knock on their door, introduce yourself and maybe ask for some helpful info about the neighborhood, maybe some recommendations for services in the vicinity.

    I'm moving tomorrow. The other night, I came across my mom's surprise 60th birthday picture collage, from 2010, that my ex-wife and I put together for her. One is a large number 6 and the other a large number 0. It's pictures of her growing up, her family, then myself and my brother, the grandkids, etc. I've had it in the back of my closet for the past 6+ years since she's been gone, because it is difficult to look at it. I made myself just sit and enjoy it though the other night and had a mini breakdown and after 10 minutes or so, got myself back together and got back to packing.

    Maybe try wearing gloves. As I got older and more beat up I wear them EVERYWHERE. I posted tape gunning tips near top that might help.

    You want it. You want it so bad. The excitement, the anticipation overcomes you. But then, when it's there, right in front of you, you're like... nah I'm good. Lol

    For me, my bedroom has a relatively large closet but not a lot of room in the bedroom area, so we have my dresser in one half of my closet and hanging stuff in the other.

    For some people, disassembling it and then reassembling after the move (Bed frame, wardrobe.. big items). Part of my job is doing this for others so I'm fine with it.

    Prepare survival box (or suitcase). It has to contain some canned food, multicooker, pasta, spoons,... just things to get you a warm food with one electric faucet. And second box/suitcase with cloths, toothbrushes,... basically what would you pack for a vacation plus cleaning equipment, because you want to scrub the new kitchen and bathroom before you use it. And take at least a weeklong vacation from work to set your new home, there will be a lot of unpacking, fixing furniture, setting Internet, electricity and water,... a week is the minimum I think.

    Yup, that happened to us too. The previous owner said that Internet is paid for another month, so we will have no problems, but he lied. And how do you find the phone number to call that company without Internet? It is a good idea to prepare for the move in advance, call new ISP, contact electric company, water, heating,... Make a list (on paper) and make sure that you have there your new customer number and phone number. And don't lose that paper!

    As they tend to be the last things unhooked, I got smart the last time and put my router, switches, cords, cables and chargers all in a box with a giant X on all six sides. Won't be fooled again...

    I went out and bought a bunch of DVDs of TV series because the cable wasn't set up for a few days when I last moved. That's right - I couldn't even go a few days without watching TV. :)

    Packing because of the time pressure. Unpacking because you get to play the games of Where the hell is the box with *Insert random vital immediate necessity*, and What irreplaceable item was broken in transit.

    I think of my things in storage as potential archaeological treasures. I never know what I am going to find in there.
