Let the Move Begin

So, you've broken the news to your familia and your loved ones. Now it's time to get the show on the road!!! However, with such a big task, the hardest thing is to figure out where to begin! Here are a few tips to spare you and your favorite moving company favorite moving company any tears on move day.

1. Know if you're going to complete your move or have us do it for you. Making this decision 2 months prior to move date can save stress and dinero. With Summer here, dates are full weeks in advance. EARLIER = BETTER (Unlike flying there are no last minute deals in moving)

2. Set up a budget. No matter if you have "no budget" on this move. There should always be a budget! Spending money carelessly is no longer attractive in '09! Budget includes your packing materials!

3. When to start on packing. Careful not to start to close to your move date. For an average 3 bedroom house, then you want to start your packing about 4 weeks prior to the move date. Packing takes up the most time, and usually when people decide that it's a job too big for them to handle on their own. If so, you're still ahead of the curve and are likely to get the day you requested for your move. As well, use our next blog to help you decide how many boxes you will need for your home.

However, All My Son's of San Antonio happens to be an experienced San Antonio mover, and we have touched and moved any and all fragile items imaginable. As your favorite San Antonio mover, we recognized the importance to share a few of our not-so-secret packing tips with you.

Line your boxwith some kind of packing material that will not only reinforce the box, but will also protect the bottom and sides of items going inside. (ie: foam, bubble wrap, etc.)

Pack smaller and fragile items inside of a box fitting to your items, then compile the smaller boxes inside of a much larger box.

Wrap all fragile items in newsprint several times. For extra fragile pieces line them once more in bubble wrap. (ie: stemware, china and antiques.

Mark which side is up and FRAGILE! So, we know to march each box fragile, however if everything is packed securely, it can be hard to tell where the bottom is at.

These are just a few of the tips that your local San Antonio movers always apply whenever we have a packing job to take care of!

Heartbreaks, Headaches and Backaches

This is not a tale. This is a true story. The story Jim and Jim's plasma television.

Jim wanted to buy a new plasma television, but Jim didn't have enough cash. So, Jim decided to save up all year to buy a grand plasma television. However, Jim's girlfriend said, "No". So, Jim decided to dump his girlfriend. Bad idea Jim!

However, Jim still has his plasma, but Jim and his plasma had to leave their home. So, Jim got his friends to help him move. Jim's friends banged up his plasma. Jim didn't get insurance on his plasma. Jim is out of a plasma. Jim now has a headache! He lost his girl and his plasma. Why Jim? Why?

What do you do? Don't be Jim! Go with the movers of San Antoniothat are always insured for all of your moving goods!

Little Move? Big Headache?

Don't Worry! All My sons of San Antonio has the remedy to all moving problems. There is never a job too big or too small that we can assist you on.

Personally we know that some of the smallest moves that will grant you the most massive headaches. (ie: pianos, third-floor apartments, treadmills) These items will not only create headaches, but backaches for the helpers, without the proper training.

So before you scream, scratch and sniff from the stress remember that even if your move is small, there still is only one place to call.

Seconds Evolve into Mintues

Then Minutes turn into hours, and at the end of the second hour (or so it seems) MOVE DAY IS HERE!!!All My Sons of San Antonio comprehends that time seems to constantly change in a matter of seconds. (It does change in a matter of seconds) However, last minute moves are not a problem.

There are just a couple of simple steps to keep in mind to every last minute move.

Sit! The main cause of not remembering your move day is probably because you were too preoccupied to remember the date. So sit! Write a list of all the things that need to be accomplished and ensure that this is actually a feasible plan.

Sufficient Assistance!!! All My Sons of San Antonio knows that you like to be self sufficient, but everyone needs help every now and then. That's why we are here. Your favorite San Antonio mover is here seven days a week to ensure that all needs are being met.
