1.) Anything you and your significant other say to each other during the moving process should be considered as null and void after the move is complete. In other words; no grudge holding, and no bringing it up a month later.
Example:
Me: "Damn, why in the HELL do you have so MUCH SHIT!?!?!?!"
My wife: "Just pack it up, and shut up!"
Me: "You don't ever use any of this crap! I'm going to start a bonfire in the backyard with this!"
My wife: "If you ever want to get laid again or still have your dick attached to you in the morning, you BETTER NOT do anything to my stuff! I will go through all of it once we get
unpacked!"
Guys, just a warning, but the "I will go through all of it later" crap, is just that, crap.
2.) If you have the money, hire a moving crew. Believe me, your back will thank you for it. And make sure you don't get roped into "driving the truck" for the move. Because if it's a 26foot or bigger truck, you have a governer. Which means you will be going slow. REAL SLOW.
3.) ALWAYS take the insurance offered for the rental truck. You might think the truck will be covered under your car insurance, but you better make sure to check. I avoided some bullshit from the rental company because I had taken their offer for insurance. So, it's worth the extra money.
4.) MAKE SURE to check out the street your house is on at night or check out your apartment complex at night. The lighting on your street, or for your apartment complex could be total shit. It's not good to walk your dog and feel like you might need to carry a tazer or .45. Checking on your place at night will also tell you a lot more about your neighbors. Of course, if they work they are gone during the day, and you have no way of knowing what kind of craziness goes on when they come home. If they don't work, might want to lock up your place like Fort Knox.
Feel free to add on to this list. :D
