How to Say Safe during a Hot Summer Move

rnrn

Moving out during the summer months can be difficult because ofrnthe hot weather in Victoria and other cities in North America. Here are somerntips to help:

rnrn

Physical effort

rnrn

Stay hydrated. Have plenty of water and sports drinks on handrnfor family and friends or for movers who help you with your move. Most peoplernare not used to the painful physical work necessary to get around. A day whenrnthe temperature approaches 85 degrees, it is at least 20 degrees warmer in thernmoving truck. Once you have loaded the items into the truck, you will need tornspend more time positioning them in order not to damage them.

Weather

Be ready for the rain. Have furniture covers or stretch film onrnhand to protect your wood furniture and upholstered furniture when loading orrnunloading into the truck. To protect your floors, use flattened cartons orrnballast machines with a rubber backing specially designed for the move.

rnrn

State of the truck

rnrn

Renting a truck in the summer can be risky. Demand is high andrnmany truck rentals have mechanical problems. If they fail, a replacement mayrnnot be readily available. A professional mover has a fleet of modern trucks inrnexcellent condition to meet your needs and will ensure that the correct size ofrnthe truck is sent to accommodate all your belongings.

Timing

rnrn

If you try to move on your own, you will naturally be slowerrnbecause of the heat. This means that loading will take longer, which couldrndelay the move before the new owner arrives. If this person uses a professionalrnmoving company, you may have to pay a waiting fee while waiting for the load tornfinish.

After the move

rnrn

Be sure to keep extra clothes and towels, as you will be hot andrnsticky after loading and unloading. Plan to go out for dinner or if you decidernto place the order, be sure to ask for utensils and towels.
