3 Common Moving Fails

Moving.

How do you feel when you hear the word? If you’re like most Middle Tennesseans, just the thought of moving makes you wince. Ugh… After all, who doesn’t have a nightmare moving story they can dial up in the bat of an eye? But it’s tough to impose upon your friends for yet another move. Result? You end up seriously shorthanded and underprepared on the big day. Tell us, do any of these 3 common moving fails sound familiar?

1. LOGISTICS FAILS

Defined as “the planning, implementation, and coordination of the details of a business, operation, or maneuver”, logistics are one of the most common culprits in moving day disasters. Including everything from door frames too narrow to accommodate favorite pieces of furniture, to providing your drivers with the wrong address, logistics mistakes happen. And they tend to up the ante on expense and frustration levels substantially.

2. PET FAILS

In all of the moving day excitement (frenzy?), it can be shockingly easy for a beloved pet to slip out unnoticed. Just what you need; one more thing to add to the stress and time constraints of moving day! Even worse, what happens when it’s time to go, but Mr. Smoky is still nowhere to be found? Moving can be stressful for pets, too. If they accidentally become lost in the shuffle, chances are good that they may temporarily hide until the action subsides. In the meantime, your family is devastated, compounding an already challenging experience.

3. LANDING FAILS

A lot of people are surprised to find themselves stranded upon landing. No, we don’t mean stranded as in a moving truck with a dead battery in Poughkeepsie. This kind of stranded refers to an all-too-common phenomenon: failing to ensure key items are readily accessible upon arrival in their new home. This can include any number of things, such as adequate bedding, important documents, clothing, lanterns, basic kitchen items, and even a plunger!

Blending Households 101

The Blended Household

It’s become a common figure in American families today. But blending households comes with a very unique set of challenges. As if just learning to get along wasn’t challenging enough!

Finding Room for Everything

Blending families can be wonderful, but there are a few tricky things you’ll need to navigate along the way. One of the biggest issues? Finding room for everything. It’s easy math: two families’ worth of furniture under one roof adds up to one pretty cramped living space. Something’s got to give! Multiple dining room sets, china sets, sofas, large screen tvs…. It’s overwhelming just to think about it! But how do you decide what to keep and what to purge?

Function First

Probably the easiest place to begin in determining which items to keep is functionality. Granted, there will generally be a few areas where sentimentality may take the lead in decision making. This is to be expected. But realize, you’re probably in for a bumpy ride if every item seems to hold deep sentimental value for you. Compromising with the one you love may not be easy, but it is an excellent way to sow into the foundation of your experience together in your new home.

Style Matters

After you choose which items are the best candidates to be classified as “keepers”, take a look at how well they work together in terms of style. You may find that a quality item or two may be better to sell and replace in order to create a more cohesive look for your new blended home. It may sting a little, but in the end, it’s worth it. Many families choose to rent a storage unit to harbor their possessions in the early stages of processing and assimilation. Whatever you do, be sure to have an end date in mind, and stick to it!
