Sorting Drawers and Painting Walls: Moving’s Ups and Downs

Everyone knows that moving is a pain. Sometimes literally, as you squat for the fiftieth time to pick up an overloaded Rubbermaid container. We don’t usually realize what pack rats we are until it comes time for us to go through everything and box it up. We often can’t even recall where most of it came from. It just piles up and then, one day, we have to go through and sort it all out.

The longer you live somewhere usually means the greater amount of stuff. After five years of living in the same place you can accumulate a lot of junk. People tend to stuff things in drawers or in the storage closets just to get it out of the way. We always tell ourselves that we will come back and clean it up later, but we rarely ever do until that big move comes.

Perhaps your dream house just came on the market or you added a new family member and need a bigger place. Whatever the Packers and Movers Ludhiana reason for the move, the hunt for a new home can be exhilarating. You get to tour many different houses looking for just the right one. While this can be stress-inducing, if you look at it like just another shopping trip rather than a serious business decision, you will get through it and even enjoy the experience.

Moving into the new house will probably require you to do some work before you can actually move in and live there. Most houses will need a new coat of paint on the walls and the carpets will need to be either cleaned or replaced. No one wants to move in on top of someone else’s dirt. The house may need a tad of remodeling before it suits you, maybe some new countertops and kitchen cabinets.

Readying the new abode for moving in is always fun. It brings out the interior decorator in us. We get to pick paint colors and decide on improvements to make. What is not fun is packing up our stuff in the old house and unpacking our stuff in the new. Cleaning out all the drawers and closets is abominable. Cleaning out the garage is even worse.

Usually, the garage looks literally like a dump. If it’s anything like my garage, it has been a landfill for all sorts of mismatched, miscellaneous stuff. Everything from tools, spare parts, a bike that has had flat tires for years. Boxes that hold who knows what have to be tackled and sorted through. The garage is the dirtiest and most tedious project of moving and is never any fun.

Okay, now all that packing and cleaning and sorting and tossing is accomplished, and you feel justifiably rewarded. It has all been worth it. You can move into your Packers and Movers Ludhiana new home with its fabulous paint colors, new cabinets and countertops of your choosing. You feel gratified and happy in your new home and proud of your accomplishments. Your vision has become a reality. Your new home reflects the taste of you and your family. The greatest joy of all, however, is the knowledge that you won’t have to move again for a very, very long time.
