Moving Safely is Always a Concern.

Moving Safety Tips

• Dispose of flammables such as fireworks, cleaning fluids, matches, acids, chemistry sets, aerosol cans, ammunition, etc.
  
  
• Drain fuel from mowers and other machinery, and discard partly used cans of oil, paint, thinner, or other substances that might leak.
  
  
• Carefully tape and place in individual waterproof bags any jars of liquid you plan to take with you. Refillable tanks must be purged and sealed by a local propane gas dealer.
  
  
• Discard nonrefillable tanks. Some carriers and the military do not permit shipment of any propane tanks.
  
  
• Have rugs and draperies cleaned. Leave both wrapped when they are returned from the cleaners.
  
  
• Obtain a written appraisal of antique items to verify the value.
  
  
• Avoid waxing or oiling wooden antiques and fine wood furniture prior to moving because some products may soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting from furniture pads.
  
  
• Think twice before dismantling your outside TV antennae; a new one may cost less than moving the present one. Third-party servicing will likely be needed before moving such items as hot tubs, large-screen TV's, and some exercise equipment.
