Almost all The penisThe staff had the experience of moving to a new house or a new apartment. Although the experience was different for everyone, one thing that we all had in common is that, during this very stressful process, we each discovered at least one tool, an application or another gadget that proved to be (and sometimes unexpectedly) useful for making things a little easier.
Here are some articles – Tech and others – which could be useful if you go from one house to another.
My partner and I have many years of books in our basement, and we finally managed to sort them in what we want to keep, what we think we can sell and what we have decided to make a donation (many of them). In order to ensure that the right books of books go to the right places, I use thick Sharpies with writing on the sides and the top of the boxes, using labels like: shelf, store, dedication or fairy fairy (yes, this is the name of the charity). The words are very visible and do not get dark – and I can be sure not to give my beloved childhood copy Small women by chance. – Barbara Krasnoff, editor -in -chief
They are cheap, easy to obtain and already coded by color for you. Here are my tips: Color code of your boxes per room, one of all sides, which makes it fast and easy to determine where each box and container must go. Then take one of these Sharpies, write numbers on them and keep a google sheet or another spreadsheet indicating where all your things are and where it is supposed to go. – Kate Cox, main producer, decoder
A roller of peak with handles
It has been almost six years since I moved for the last time, but the only tool that always stands out in my mind because the absolute hero of the event was a simple 15 -inch roller -wide plastic envelope. It was not only an easy way to secure random lots of dismantled furniture and keep all the organized parts, it was also useful for sealing over-suppressed boxes that were about to tear, protect the sofa cushions in a dirty moving truck and prevent the dresser drawers from opening in transit. It was also useful for creating impromptu bags to contain various furniture equipment. You will want to make sure to buy a roller with handles, which makes things easier. – Andrew Liszewski, principal journalist, News
“You have to use this cassette, it's incredible,” said the girl from the U-Haul store, so I bought exactly two rollers, because I had already bought a six of the ordinary plastic packaging package and I am an old soul that is wary of new things, especially when someone seems to try to have implemented on something at the counter. During the week, while our ribbon on paper regularly provides the drop, we fought who obtained custody of the paper strip and which was recorded in the hell of the packaging with plastic adhesive tape.
The paper strip is better by all possible metrics. It's pretty robust but you can tear it with your hands. There is no need for a rudder or a ribbon pistol. He does not mock. It is easy to find the end and lift it from the roller without it separating. You can write directly on it if you need it. I feared that ribbon on paper be more fragile or less sticky; There was no notable difference between the boxes that were glued with plastic adhesive tape against paper, except that some times I had used plastic adhesive tape, I injured myself on the serrated tape pistol and took blood everywhere. – Sarah Jeong, editor of traits
Curiously, I had already had the premonition that I was, at some point in this movement, to cut myself. This happened in one way or another with each movement I made. I do not know what that said of me, except that I have small pathetic and soft hands that are unable to type on a computer.
For this reason, I bought these Bellingham Wonder Grip gardening gloves in size XS. I chose them because they were the smallest gloves with ACE equipment in which I was. In fact, these are the only work gloves that have never properly adapted my tiny and tiny adult hands, which makes a huge difference when you try to get a real grip on heavy objects. The gloves are protective, but are not that thick you lose manual dexterity. This is good, because the last thing you want during the packaging or unpacking is to have to remove your gloves and extinguishes them.
If you, like me, are subject to paper cuts during the packaging, moving or opening of boxes, you should consider buying a pair of these gloves, which come in a range of well -inclusive sizes that will even welcome people with weak hands that have trouble holding their iPhones, not to mention something heavy. – Sarah Jeong, editor of traits
If you mount something on a wall, whether it is a simple framed photo, a wall of works of art or a massive shelf, a transverse laser is incredibly practical. Just turn it over and the levels of level perfectly shine in your room in vertical and horizontal directions. It is useful for a variety of home DIY projects as well as a simple redecoration. It is always good to use an old level of faithful bubble in tandem, but the laser gives you a practical shortcut which makes the assembly and the measurement easier and faster. And these are friggin laser beams! – Antonio G. di Benedetto, criticism
You can use a strong magnet to find metallic screws and identify the location of the wooden studs behind the dry partitions for suspended images or a television frame. But Franklin Sensors M210 Stud’s Finder Stud facilitates this task. Using 13 sensors and 21 LEDs that light up to indicate areas behind the dry partition that has greater density, you can quickly determine the location, size and center of the hidden studs. It also works with wood and plaster finishes, and, for an additional level of security, it includes a living wire counter that warns you where it may not be sure to pierce. – Andrew Liszewski, principal journalist, News
If you have a drill that comes with a screwdriver and hexadecimal accessories, you might think that adding an electric screwdriver to your toolbox is a little useless. After finding myself to fight with my partner to find out who can use said exercise during my last move, however, I never want to be without backup option. We had ikea furniture mountains to assemble, shelves to be installed and an assortment of random tasks for drilling holes or screws that had to be performed to transform our apartment into a house.
No one wants to get stuck with a manual screwdriver when time is gasoline and your friend, partner or parent needs the exercise more than you. Electric screwdrivers are also much lighter than heavy exercises, so your wrists will thank you after several hours of assembly of flatpack furniture. – Jess Weatherbed, news writer
Navigating in my house in the middle of the night with the extinct lights is easy now that my brain has memorized the floor plan, but during the first week of life here, the potential of the truncated toes was high. Shortly after moving forward, I installed Snappower output covers, which have integrated night lights that draw power without the need to wiring. Support both duplex outlet styles (round) and decoration (rectangular), the Cheapest version of $ 21 Includes a light sensor that automatically lights it when it is dark. A The more expensive version of $ 24 includes a motion sensor This only activates when you are nearby, with brightness options and how long the LEDs stay. – Andrew Liszewski, principal journalist, News
