Moving out
Lay down plastic sheets to minimize dirt in the house. Lead the packers around the house again and make sure they understand all of your instructions. Do a final check for forgotten items. Check inventory for number of boxes- break down by room. Check movers Bill of Landing against your inventory. Clearly label and leave all the spare keys and the code for the security system if you have one, inside the house unless otherwise arranged.
Moving in
Get to the house before the movers. Arrange to take milk, bread, coffee, tea, etc. with you. It will be a long day. Verify that the utilities have been turned on. Lay down plastic sheets to minimize dirt in the house. Hang up curtains if possible. Find your floor plan and give copies to the movers. When your goods arrive, look at each item carefully as it is put in place and check off your inventory. Note any damage. You won't be able to check goods which have not been unpacked so above your signature on the Bill of Landing write "subject to loss or hidden damage." First priorities will be the children's rooms, TV or radio, and the basic kitchen. Seeing as you have not yet unpacked, go out and have a nice dinner-- you deserve it!
