On Budget House Moving Tips

House moving?! I can't stop telling you all how much I hate this house moving thingy~ It took a lot of time, energy, money and planning. I'm on the house moving process whereby I really don't have time to rest on the weekends/blog.

Since I started my university life, enter the 'society university', I have been moving over and over, shifting from room to room etc. Since an incident happened this early July, I decided to move out from my current place a.s.a.p. Not sure for people living in other country, but for me, all these while I'm only renting ROOM instead of HOUSE/APARTMENT.

I find house moving is much easier if you manage your stuff wisely. The least the better. Before going to tips on house moving, there's some facts that you need to take note.

1. Place that you are going to stay in future : distance, bedroom size

2. The condition of place that you are going to stay: fully furnished / partial furnished/ totally empty house

3. Budget

So now, once the above 3 facts been confirmed, let's decide on things you will move and organizing the room. This time I'm shifting from a master bedroom to a super tiny room (sad!) and the bedroom size is probably 1/4 size of my current room. The room is empty and I have a lot of stuff!!!

In this case it comes to budget & room organizing: budget MYR 500

1. I've purchase a bed rack for single bed size ( steel rack, so in future If I need to move again, I can bring it along) -- MYR 130

2. I also purchase a 3 doors wardrobe at TESCO, DYI (measure the bedroom size before buying any furniture) -- MYR 159

3. Getting a medium size mirror -- MYR 17

4. Reuse any smaller table

5. Reuse older small refrigerator

6. Reuse older single bed

7. Reuse older shelf

8. Distance from older place to new living place: advise to carry as much as possible per trip

if the distance is nearby things would be so much easier, if distance is further, a proper planning such as renting a lorry deliver your things should be took into consideration OR having a garage sale clear out the unwanted stuff

As long as you discard the unused things during house moving and pack things in boxes, everything should be easier. It is better to invest on some VITAL furniture that will last longer rather than buying things that are nice to see but hardly to use.

- A bigger wardrobe that fit with the structure of my up coming little room is perfect. I'll be able to store things in & on the wardrobe -> Space savior.

- A bed rack will provide some space under the bed, allow you to put / keep things under the bed

- Reuse whatever that still can be used, save money!

- Since I've mentioned how tiny my bedroom will be, smaller table that can be folded will definitely help to save up a lot of space in the room.
