Sydney Removalist Checklist – What you need to know
Is there such a thing as stress-free moving? Many people dread moving to a new place as things are lost or damaged during transport and their lives are disrupted for at least a week. At Happy Moving, we guarantee that moving to a new home can be an exciting experience if you use the services of a reliable Sydney removalist.
However, a stress-free moving can happen only when the person relocating does their homework and takes care of a few important aspects. Even if you hire North Shore removals to assist you, there will still be a few problems to solve. Keep on reading for our comprehensive removalist checklist so you reach your new home relaxed and with all your glasses intact.
Moving house checklist
o   Set a moving budget
There are several expenses when moving your belongings from one place to another: packages, transport, and storage. It doesn’t seem like much, but when you start the process, all kinds of unexpected costs come up, such as making repairs, renting a storage unit, renting vans, food, gas, and hiring movers. Quality packing materials can cost quite a lot and without them you risk damaging your goods.
One way to cut on relocation costs is getting rid of unwanted or useless things, so you don’t waste resources on moving stuff you no longer need. Start the moving process by selling or donating things and what cannot be used anymore should go to the recycle or garbage bin.
Once you have a budget, start saving so you have the necessary amount by the time you move.
o   Set a date for the move
Whether you call friends to help you out or you use North Shore removals services, you need to know the date of the move precisely. If you decide to book a Northern Beaches removalist, you will need to book at it least 3 weeks in advance, as good removalists are often busy well in advance.
Knowing the date of the move also enables you to take a day or two off from work so you minimise the impact of relocation on your performance and productivity at work.
o   Find a reputable removalist
The process of picking a removalist can be tricky, therefore it is best to choose a company with a good reputation and one that also provides service to a broad range of areas.
The dangers of hiring an unreliable removalist go further more than having a couple of family heirlooms broken or lost. There are cases of people who have lost all their possessions because their removalist somehow ‘misplaced’ them.
A Northern Beaches removalist you can trust that Happy Moving, a careful, quick, and affordable service is fully insured, provides the best value for money, and has uniformed and friendly staff. We proudly complete our work in accordance with NSW and Australian Fair Trading Act legislation.
Reasons to choose us for a happy new beginning include:
·        Public liability which covers personal injury or property damage that a third party suffers as a result of our business activities;
·        Transit insurance covers the value of goods in transit in case of any damage including loading and unloading;
·        Worker’s compensation insurance covers our workers in the event of them suffering a work-related injury or illness.
·        Staff that is friendly and polite and has the ability to think logically to solve any problems, such as taking off doors if needed, doing balcony lifts, or using tools to dismantle and reassemble furniture.
 o   Choose the right moving package
No move is like another. This is why different packages are available, depending on your needs and the size of your home.
Happy Moving offers four packages for Sydney removals:
§  1 man + 1 van – ideal for a few items
§  2 men + 1 truck – ideal for 1-2 bedroom moves
§  2 men + 1 big truck – ideal for 3-5 bedroom moves
§  Extra removalist pack to get the move done quickly
All packages are free from hidden fees and our staff is at your disposal for a minimum of 2 hours.
o   Pack items that are not essential way ahead of time
Some examples of items you can pack and move early are outdoor items, camping equipment, stuff stored in your attic, and so on. Doing all this in time will save you a great deal of grief on moving day – after all, you can do without your skis for a month, right?
o   Update your address and consider redirecting your mail
Moving to a new place does not mean that you just sleep somewhere else; there are lots of services that depend on your address, such as regular deliveries. Make sure you place all your new orders with the new delivery address and cancel any regular deliveries to your old address.
o   Arrange for school transfers
If you have children, arrange their school or kindergarten transfers months before moving house. You need to advise their school of your move, so all their records are transferred to their new school.
o   Prepare your old property turnover
Make sure you haven’t forgotten anything at your old place and hire a cleaning service to put the house in order right after you leave it. This can help you get your deposit money back, not to mention that turning a house over in good condition is a matter of common sense.
Consume perishables left in your fridge or pantry during the last few days of staying at your old home. Turn off your fridge and defrost it if necessary. Before leaving, lock all the doors and windows of the house and turn off your hot water system.
o   Make your new place inhabitable
A couple of days before moving have groceries to be delivered to your new home and organise the connection of energy and other services at your new place. Schedule the internet and home phone services to be activated at your new property to minimise down time.
o   Create a furniture floor plan
You don’t have to be there every minute and tell your removalist where to put each piece of furniture. Come up with a furniture floor plan for your new house in time so you make furniture placement on moving day easier. Take room measurements and check if your furniture fits. This will also give you enough time to replace furniture that doesn’t fit into your new configuration.
o   Use colour codes for your boxes
Assign a different colour for each room by labelling corresponding boxes with a different coloured sticker. This will allow you to identify what needs to go where very quickly. Another trick is taking pictures of box contents right before closing them so you don’t need to jog your memory about what’s where. Take pictures of everything that needs to be put back in function, such as the back of your TV, so you remember, for instance, where all those wires need to go.
o   Get help for moving day
If you use the services of Eastern suburb removals, you won’t need the help of friends to transport your belongings from your old to your new home. On another page, do make arrangements for children and pets for the day of the move if necessary. Having kids and your furry friends around on moving day doesn’t help and is stressful for the little ones.
o   Keep all your essentials in one place
You don’t want to reach your new place and not be able to find your toothbrush because  your bathroom belongings aren’t being delivered next day. Pack a few items you cannot do without, just as if you were going on a short trip.  Consider keys, water, credit cards, medication, charger, clothes, toiletries, toilet paper and toys. This will make your first night at the new home a lot more comfortable.
Prepare a survival kit at your new home, including cold beverages, tea, coffee, and snacks to keep your energy up. There are things that not even the best Eastern suburb Removals Company can do for you, so make sure you take care of your most basic needs.
o   Being ready for last minute expenses
Make sure you have plenty of cash ready in case unexpected expenses pop up at the last minute and don’t forget to have a snack handy for the kids, or a bottle of water.
o   Go slowly
Moving day is tricky business and no matter how much you want it you can’t get it all done in one day, even if you call to the services of an Inner West removalist. This is why you need to prepare in advance as much as you can and have realistic expectations of how much you can get done by the first night. You will need several days to get everything out of the boxes and in its right place.
Of course, this is not everything that you need for a proper and stress-free moving house checklist, but these tips represent a helpful start. A good Sydney removalist will make your move a lot easier and minimise the amount of disruption associated with moving house. Contact Happy Moving to benefit from a high standard of service so you reach your new home relaxed, on time, and with all your belongings in perfect condition.

Saint Spook
After a difficult week of pig herding which had put a bit of a strain on our relationship, I asked Spook if he’d like to join me on a gastronomic tour out on the Morvern Peninsula, Strontian and the shores of Loch Sunart.  It seemed the least I could offer after all he’d been through and I’d just been invited to take part in a short video being made to promote an adventure in Lochaber for a project called SAINT - Slow Adventures in the Northern Territories.
http://saintproject.eu/
http://www.ardnamurchan.com/about-ardnamurchan/area/lochaline-and-morvern/
 A companion was required to join me and I couldn’t think of anyone better suited - especially as his body was so sore from recent events, that slow was all he was capable off.  I just crossed my fingers that it wouldn’t push the boundaries of his reserved nature.  Sara of SAINT had assured me we would take part in some light exercise and lot’s of eating.  Jodie of the OCUK would manage the day for us and Cameraman John would demand very little of Spook regarding acting skills and only use footage of his best side. Never mind slow adventure - I was looking at this as The Outdoor Capital of the UK’s Relationship Repair Service (OCURRS).
We started our day on the Ardtornish Estate near Lochaline. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here as Spook and I had a fantastic week in this house back in 2014 for my best friends 50th birthday.  It’s a big house, with loads of space and character and was very affordable for a big group. I wrote a blog about it....... 
http://itsmosblog.tumblr.com/post/93861150932/as-spook-and-i-settle-into-life-as-part-of-a-house
http://www.ardtornish.co.uk/achranich/
Tumblr media
On this trip we hired bikes from the estate and set off to explore the immediate area.  
Tumblr media
The Ardtornish Kitchen Garden was amazing.  Richard has spent 2 years taking it from a ruin to a bountiful and inspiring display of tasty produce.  He invited us to pick veg to take away for lunch, and opened the first pea pod of the season for us to sample the sweetest pea that you wouldn’t want to put anywhere near boiling water.  Unfortunately the OCURRS faltered a little at this point as apparently I went on a bit too much about how tall Richard was, and how much I admired his dungarees (I have some myself) and that I thought his neck tie was lovely......and wasn’t it fantastic that he’d grown all that stuff himself blah blah blah. Not to be outdone, Spook showed how earthy he could be himself, by insisting on carrying the basket.....
Tumblr media
The garden is open to the public from 9-5 Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri.  It is well worth a visit. http://www.ardtornish.co.uk/ardtornish-kitchen-garden/
There is so much to explore on this peninsula and keeping Spook to an eating agenda was quite difficult.  He knows there are coastal nooks and crannies aplenty, but he allowed himself to be woo’d by lunch at The White House Restaurant in Lochaline.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mackerel and potato pie doesn’t look like this when I make it.  Art on a plate and absolutely delicious.  It was painful to see Jodie, John and Noah (The Runner) salivating, so we shared our treacle soda bread and caboc cheese - grudgingly - but there was no chance we were letting them get their fingers into these plates
Tumblr media
(my gazpacho soup photo - how can cold soup taste so wonderful?  I’d stick this in a flask and use it to sustain me all day without need of anything else.  A big flask.)
.The restaurant has it’s own kitchen garden so we added stuff to Spooks basket...
Tumblr media
http://www.thewhitehouserestaurant.co.uk/
We took a cycle down to the shore for a wee gaze across to Mull and to let our lunch go down. This is a wonderful place and back in 2014 I was determined to come back and spend more time here and now I have renewed that pledge.
Tumblr media
It was off to Strontian which is about  20 mile of slow uphill (it’s a slow adventure after all) with great views and an exciting decent to Loch Sunart.  We had an afternoon picnic date with Kate Campbell at The Ariundle Centre where she had prepared us a hamper.  Our next adventure was Canoeing and with more time we would have been taking our hamper on the canoe to a remote beach, but time was short - so we just had to eat it.........I’m more of a ‘throw a sandwich into a rucksack’ kind of adventurer, but THIS is the way to picnic.
Tumblr media
https://www.facebook.com/Ariundle/
Kate lit up when we asked to see her spinning wheel - this is a slow adventure - no nipping out to buy a ball of wool for Kate.  It is an earthy and absorbing past-time.......
Tumblr media
But we had to be a bit more energetic to work off some of the calories, so we cycled off to Otter Adventures, just outside Strontian.  Karl was a friendly and relaxed guide with a clear passion for what he does, who talked us through getting our canoe to the water and how to paddle if in the front or at the back.  This is another opportunity for making or breaking a relationship and I wasn’t risking things breaking down, so took the easier position in the front of the boat.  I did exactly what Karl told me to do and Spook, glad to be in safer, non-gardening territory, was masterful with the steering.  It requires a bit of skill to get where you want to go and not where the tide and boat takes you.  We took a wee tour around an island and were quickly surrounded by curious seals, bobbing and diving close by.  Karl understood the concept of the comfort part of a slow adventure, and recognized that for some fok, it’s just a short paddle to a beach that would be hard to walk to, perhaps our picnic hamper to consume, or his outdoor coffee maker and cake, and a paddle home.  If you’re not used to the efforts of paddling, you don’t want to have gone too far.  But the potential for bigger explorations are all available in the expert hands of Karl. 
Tumblr media
https://otter-adventures.co.uk/
Had we been staying the night, we might have taken the comfortable and good value option of a cabin at Sunart Campsite.  We checked them out and this is my way of camping.  Cosy and comfy with no tent to wrestle with....
http://www.sunartcamping.co.uk/cabins.html
But whilst we were not staying over, we did have dinner to find and were  getting used to fine dining, so we took advantage of the non-resident option at Kilcamb Lodge.  If Spook had any stress and strain left from life in the piggy fast lane, it began to ebb away as soon as the wonderful staff made every effort to make us feel welcome....
Tumblr media
This was the final glue in sticking us back together....
Tumblr media
The First Class treatment from staff, the fantastically tasty and beautifully presented food, the comfort and wine..........the welcome of non residents for breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner - at prices which you would happily spend for a treat without hesitation (and I know that Spook will surely be working out how to treat me to a stay in the Lodge itself) make this probably our biggest surprise of the day.  You could have all sorts of adventures out on these western peninsula’s, but topping it off with a visit to Kilcamb Lodge would be the icing on the.......well..... the ice in the bucket of wine.
Tumblr media
crudities of the loveliest kind
Tumblr media
The best melt in the mouth beef Spook has ever tasted.
https://www.kilcamblodge.co.uk/
Spook and I had a brilliant day out.  When we got home, we got the map out and plotted all the adventures we are going to have way out west.  And the food we are going to eat - not sandwiches.
Thanks to Jodie of OCUK for managing the day so calmly and not making us feel guilty about all the food we ate which they didn’t.  To John for his One Shot Wonders which kept Spook on the right side of happy and to Noah who fulfilled his role as Runner beautifully by checking that the Caviar really doesn’t taste at all fishy. And to Sara of SAINT for asking us to be Luvvies for the day.
And to all those on this Slow Adventure who allowed us to try their wares.
And to Jodie for all the above photographs.  Johns 55 sec video to come later......

TIP! Knowing all your different tools and how they are used will be a great help when you work on a plumbing job. Make sure you read all the directions and manuals, while also taking advantage of online resources and the library to help you with your projects.
From time to time, we all have plumbing questions. Sometimes we want to figure out how to fix a problem by ourselves and need to learn how to do that. This article problem helps with both so that people may be prepared for all kinds of plumbing emergencies.
TIP! Ensure that if something goes wrong in your garbage disposal that you resist any and all urges you have that might make you want to put your hands inside to fix a problem. Even when in the off position, garbage disposals are dangerous.
If you have a frozen pipe, turn on the nearest faucet so the water has an escape route when the pipe starts to thaw. Letting the water drain out will relieve pressure in the frozen pipe, which will reduce the chances of it bursting and damaging your home.
TIP! Every so often, inspect the floor around your toilet and see if it has gone soft. Straddle your toilet by rocking it from foot to foot to see if there’s any weakening or softness on the floor below you.
If you have any plumbing work that needs to be done, schedule it all to be done concurrently. Rather than calling a plumber every time there is a minor problem, taking care of everything at once allows you to save money for additional repairs down the road. Doing this can also save you money, since it’s common for plumbers to charge hourly rates. It’ll condense the total amount of time they need to spend to something you can more easily afford.
TIP! Don’t put fat, grease and other oils into the drain. These substances will clog the drain as they cool and harden.
It is very important to to use lots of cold water when running your garbage disposal. The helps sharpen the blades and clears out the drain mechanism. Hot water is not recommended because of what it does to greasy products.
TIP! To lower the chance that you will have issues with your toilet, do not approach it like it’s a trash can. Keep away from flushing improper items down the toilet, like cotton balls, diapers, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products.
If there is unwanted water draining into the dishwasher, it is most likely because of the hose to the kitchen sink being installed improperly. This hose should lead uphill first and then downhill so the water from the sink and the dishwater never mix.
TIP! The key towards maintaining low plumbing repair bills is prevention. Drain clogs can be expensive and are actually a major repair, one of the most common ones, too.
If you have a shower head that needs replacing, be sure to get one that is good quality. Many times people try to save money and buy the cheapest one that they see. However, cheap parts don’t work as well and break down more quickly.
TIP! Over time, sediment buildup may lead to problems with low water pressure. Often, this problem can be addressed by thoroughly cleaning out the aerator.
You need to know how to address problems before you actually experience them. Also, keeping your system maintained properly will help you avoid future disasters. Take care of all of your plumbing needs with the help of this article.

TIP! Noisy pipes that make squeaking or hammering sounds are an easy problem to fix. Exposed pipes need to be properly anchored.
Plumbing is a crucial aspect of any home’s functioning. There may be times, though, when your plumbing system needs work and you can’t afford to call a professional, or you don’t have time to sit at home and wait for one. The tips provided below will teach you some great ways in which you can easily handle issues with the plumbing in your home.
TIP! If you discover a frozen water pipe, turn on a nearby faucet so that thawed ice has a place to go. This will relieve pressure and might prevent the pipe from bursting, preventing further damage.
If you have pipes that sound as if they’re squeaking or hammering, it’s an easy fix. Anchoring exposed pipes will decrease the amount of noise your plumbing system makes. You might want to contact a professional when the pipes are hard to access.
TIP! Avoid septic tank problems by having your tank pumped out in five year intervals. This prevents sediment from building up in the tank and causing a backup into your home or causing the failure of the septic system itself.
To keep your pipes from getting frozen, always maintain a temperature in the house above freezing and make sure all pipes exposed to outside elements are insulated properly. Pipes will begin to freeze as soon as they reach freezing temperatures. The best case scenario is that you can heat the pipes and the water will start flowing again. However, frozen pipes often burst, causing damage to your home and a hefty repair bill.
TIP! Get to know the tools and how they are used for the most success in plumbing. So be sure to read through all your manuals as well as research as much as you can on the internet where you can gain information to help you with your projects.
Don’t pay the entire plumbing bill upfront; wait until the plumber finishes the plumbing job. Sometimes plumbers will request a cash deposit before any work can commence; however, you avoid paying the total bill until the whole job has been finished to your satisfaction. Knowing that the plumber performed all services, as promised, can be good for your peace of mind and your wallet.
TIP! You should avoid using blue toilet tablets, bleach tablets or any other odor removers in your toilet. While they are good at removing odors, they have a detrimental effect on the parts of the toilet that are rubber.
Stay away from bleach tablets, blue tablets for the toilet and other toilet odor removers. They may get rid of toilet odors, but they can damage the rubber in the toilet, which can cause it to break down completely or to not function at all.
TIP! To maintain your garbage disposal and avoid malfunction, you should regularly clean it. By utilizing a routine on a regular basis, using the combination of lemon rinds, cherry pits, and dish soap, you can maintain a disposal that runs great and smells like new.
The areas of floor around your toilets are particularly susceptible to water damage; here’s how you can check them. An easy way to test for floor softness is by straddling the toilet and shifting your weight. If the floor feels soft when you do this, you have floor damage. You could save money if you notice these problems early.
TIP! Keep your bathtub in good shape by using a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar down its drain monthly. Cover the drain with a plug or rag as you wait for the chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda to happen in your pipes.
To make sure your garbage disposal last a long time, clean it regularly. You can run lemon rinds and dish soap through your disposal to help keep it smelling fresh and operating in an efficient manner.
TIP! Always have cold water running when you are using your garbage disposal. The cold water helps keep the blades sharp and can make disposal much smoother.
If you have clogged pipes, try cleaning them with an enzyme pipe cleaner. These cleaners employ helpful bacteria which process the sludge lining your pipes, and turn it to liquid. Enzyme cleaners are preferred by many to clear clogged drains.
TIP! Swapping out old shower heads for energy-efficient ones can save you money on the energy bill. Most of the hot water we use is from showering.
If you have grout in your water line, you shouldn’t try cleaning it yourself because it will be pointless. Do your best to break it up and flush it down. This works best if your pipes are plastic rather than metal. This usually requires professional people to come in to help you get rid of this problem.
TIP! Using your toilet as a garbage disposal is sure to cause problems! If you flush improper items such as disposable diapers, facial tissue, cotton balls, paper toweling, tampons or sanitary napkins down the toilet, you will surely have problems with clogs. Even toilet tissue should be used conservatively.
As indicated by this article, there are many ways to maintain and repair your plumbing system. By utilizing these tips in your home, you can not only fix your plumbing in an emergency, but you can also cut costs by reducing the need for a professional plumber.
