I would like to acknowledge the outstanding service supplied by Thapelo Dhlamini with his follow up on e-mails, requests for quote and his amazing pursuit of unforseen delivery delays during the move. It is a pleasure to work with him.
We will definately recommend your services to anyone and the move was successful with a Manager who ensured everything on the checklist was handled with utmost care.
It’s possible to travel safely during pregnancy you’ll need to do a bit of planning to ensure a safe and comfortable trip; pregnancy symptoms like a very active bladder, on-and-off nausea and sudden leg cramps can make the journey a bit more challenging than usual.
Before you book your reservations, make sure your hotel and transport are air-conditioned and that you stay hydrated and out of the sun. If you’re heading to a high altitude, talk to your practitioner, who may want to schedule a check-up before you leave.
Stand up and stretch. Pregnant women are at higher risk for developing blood clots, so it’s important to avoid sitting still for long periods of time. Wear loose clothes and keep the blood flowing in your legs: Whether you’re flying or driving, take breaks to get up, walk around and stretch every half hour or so. And even while you’re seated, flex and point your toes as often as you can.
Pack a pregnancy medical kit. Make sure you take enough prenatal vitamins to last the trip. It’s also a good idea to carry a copy of your health records with you, especially if you’re leaving the country. Something to leave out of your kit: jet lag remedies (including melatonin) that aren’t practitioner-approved.
Once got all of your belongings into your new home, you’re in the final stretch of your new home checklist, and there are just a few more essentials to get through.
1. Change your locks - Who knows what the previous owners did with their keys? Whether you hire a locksmith or reinstall the locks on your own, it’s a simple task, and it will give you peace of mind. You’re always better off safe than sorry.
2. Locate shut-off valves - In the event that there is an emergency leak or you’re doing repairs and you need to shut off your water, it’s necessary to locate your shut-off valves. Many houses and apartment buildings have a number of cut-off points to stop the water at its source.
3. Locate the circuit-breaker - Every once in a while you may need to replace a fuse or reset a circuit breaker (just try running your hair dryer and air conditioner in the same room at the same time!) And if there’s a power outage, you don’t want to be searching through the dark to find it. Common locations for circuit breakers are outdoors, in basements or garages, in storage closets, or in hallways. Also, be sure you know the difference between a circuit-breaker and a fuse box, in the event you need to restore power.
4. Set up your home security system - Moving is one of the best times to set up home security. If you already have a system in place or are tied to a contract, be sure to call your provider or update your information online. Smart or DIY home security systems are a great option for renters and homeowners who want more flexibility, so take some time to shop around if you’re selecting your first home security system.
5. Review custom storage solutions - Make sure to set up smart home storage solutions in your home to make your favorite routines easier. If your closet uses wire shelving it probably isn’t maximizing the space available and can make it challenging to fit all of your belongings. Transform your space and make it work for you – Turn your unfinished garage into a gym or office, update your kitchen pantry or design a custom closet. These are all important for setting healthy daily routines.
6. Decide on a lock-out solution - You will get locked out of your house every once in a blue moon – it happens! What’s important is that you have a backup plan for when the time comes. Some common ideas are to hide a key under your doormat or to install a garage code (if you have a garage), but you can be as creative as you’d like. Maybe you have a buddy down the street who holds on to an extra key, or you’ve slid one under a planter. Whatever the case, be prepared!
7. Test your smoke detectors - Installing a smoke detector is an easy and inexpensive way to protect you and your loved ones in the event of a fire. However, smoke detectors can fail you when you need them most if you don’t address their malfunctions. This is why testing your new home’s smoke detectors is so important. Light a few matches or spray a smoke test aerosol in front of each sensor every month or two to ensure they’re working.
8. Check out your HVAC system - For the sake of heating, cooling, and big bucks, it’s important that you, a property manager, or a technician checks out your HVAC system in the weeks following your move. Inspect your heating and cooling units, insulation, and ducts, for warning signs that something’s off. If it looks like maintenance is needed, get on top of it as soon as you can. Although it’s a pain, it’s a worthwhile investment!
9. Create a home maintenance checklist - It’s a good idea to perform seasonal maintenance checks to ensure your new home is in good shape. Some of these maintenance checks you may not have had to do at your previous home — things like cleaning the gutters, landscaping, unclogging bathroom drains, or checking up on snow plow services may be relevant to you now. Gather the contact info from local services for when the time comes. We hope our new home checklist helps you stay organized and avoid moving mistakes as you prepare to transition into your new environment.
