We all know how brutal the Southeast Texas heat has been this year. In addition to our electric bills, the heat has done a number on our water consumption. Here are a few tips to help save on your water bill are:

Moving Tip #3

Hire a professional mover. Whether your company provides for transportation services or you receive a ‘lump sum’ if you have any household items that you value, it’s wise to hire a professional.

Do your research and ask around and, if you are on your own and without the services of a relocation management company, choose wisely and based on experience. Also, remember that the movers must do the packing to have the items coRead More...

Make arrangements for young children. Moving is stressful and often ‘action packed’ and, as such, it will require your full attention. It’s best, if possible, to make childcare arrangements for any small children and have them out of the home during the pack, load and delivery days.

Moving Tip #1

Separate items for travel or temporary accommodations. Set aside all of your critical items for travel and/or temporary housing and, if you have a drop-off by the movers at a temporary location, make sure that items are labeled as such so they do not get mixed in with your primary move items.
