[quote=Anonymous]Label every box in detail. Then, put different colored duct tape on it to easily identify which room it goes to--blue kitchen, green garage, purple living room, pink daughters room etc. Makes it really easy to figure out what goes where and were to start looking for something specific. Even if the blue taped box ends up in the garage, you'll quickly know that kitchen stuff is in there. Wrap the sh$t out of breakables--get rid of as much breakable stuff as you can bear to part with to avoid risking breakage on such a long move. Glasses and whatnot are inexpensive to replace, usually. Wrap whatever you're taking in newsprint (you can get big pads of it at UHaul or even art stores. It's cheap.) Then bubble wrap around that for the stuff you'd REALLY miss. don't overpack your boxes. I overpacked one of those big skinny boxes for pictures/mirrors etc and ended up having to replace glass in a watercolor. Luckily the art itself was undamaged--that was lucky. But mostly--LABEL LABEL LABEL.[/quote]
