New State Currency Ahead?
Your Greenville area mover may soon be accepting a new currency for all South Carolina relocation services. A proposition has surfaced recently suggesting that a currency that is exclusive to South Carolina should be introduced to the state which would serve as a back-up plan in case of Federal Reserve collapse. State senator, Lee Bright, will assemble an eight-member-subcommittee which will examine the proposal in-depth and deliver a report on the matter at the tail end of this year. As would be expected, critics have mixed feelings on the matter, we’ll just have to wait and see how everything pans out! What do you think?
Preparing Your House for Vacation
Vacations are what many of us look forward to all throughout the year. Now that we are full swing with the holiday season, vacation time is so close you can feel it! But before you pack your bags and board your plane, be sure that you’ve created a pre-vacation checklist so that your property is safe while you’re out of town.
- If your home will be unoccupied while you are away, you should deplete your supply of perishable foods well in advance of your vacation. So move your refrigerator and freezer foods either to your stomach or to the garbage so that you’re not faced with an unpleasant mess when you return from paradise. Or leave a fridge full of snacks for your most trusted neighbor who will be keeping an eye on your home while you’re gone. Also, be sure to empty all trash receptacles and move your garbage out to your neighborhoods designated collection site.
- While on vacation, the last thing you want to worry about is the safety of your home and property. Keeping your vacation worry free is easy though. First, you’ll want to have a trustworthy friend or neighbor who will regularly check in to make sure everything is safe and sound. While completely unoccupied though, there are ways to keep your home looking lively so as not to advertise to passers-by that your house is empty. Nothing says, “Burglars Welcome!” like a house that stays dark for days. Investing in a few programmable timers for your interior lights is the best way to avoid a crook-inviting home. You can purchase such timers anywhere where fish aquarium supplies are sold. With these timers, you can program on and off times for various lights in your home so that your home appears to be occupied during the time you are away. Any electronics which plug into an electric outlet can be programmed by these timers, such as: televisions, floor and table lamps, or garden lights… Just be creative. It is also a good idea to turn the ringer off on any land line telephones you have in your home. If you are unable to put a hold on mail delivery, make sure that your mail and packages are collected by your designated house-sitter and safely kept for you. You may also have your sitter move your car in and out of your garage.
- To avoid unnecessary electricity usage while you are away, make sure and program your thermostat before you leave on vacation. If the weather will be cold while you are gone, setting your thermostat to 65 degrees or so will cut down on power while you’re away. Setting your thermostat to about 75 degrees is ideal for warmer weather areas. If you live in a cold climate, you should also turn your water faucets on but limited to a slow trickle. This is to prevent freezing pipes while you’re away.
You should be about ready to say ‘au revoir’ at this point. Just make sure that you’ve checked everything off of your pre-vacation to-do list and you’ll be worry-free on your holiday getaway. Your Greenville professional movers wish you a fantastic vacation! And if you love your getaway so much that you decide to move there, your Greenville area movers do long distance too!
How do I find a reputable Greenville mover?
Most consumers use the internet now to search for everything from a car to finding a service industry professional to fix something at their home. When it comes to locating a reliable mover in Greenville, the internet can be a tricky place. There are a number of rogue movers who surface and will make your moving experience a horrible one. I recommend the American Moving and Storage Association as a good place to start. This leading moving industry organization has a program that identifies reputable movers, dubbed Pro Movers. This designation requires each moving company to meet certain criteria. This is the best way to locate a great mover to complete your relocation. Of course if you know the name of a good mover, you can search for information about them online. Check their moving reviews on sites like yelp, the local BBB and consumer reports.
Off-season moving in Greenville
Much like the travel industry has a peak season, the moving industry’s season is late spring to early fall (June-September). Anyone moving in Greenville during peak season must call ahead to receive the best spot. Service at peak season is usually better during the week and the middle of the month.
Off-season moving is in full swing now. Consumers can take advantage of the best rates and availability of their Greenville moving company. Of course, as with any other time, stay away from the end of the month.
Looking for a storage facility?
Summer is gone and fall is all around us with its beautiful colors and milder temperatures. Before we know it the holiday season will be here. As with any season, many individuals change draperies, bedding, move furniture around and change décor. Are you considering changing décor and have no place to put your spring and summer items? Years ago our grandparents used containers in the home and stored items with moth balls until the next season. However, in today’s world even though our homes are somewhat larger than back then, we still don’t have enough space for our out-of season items. Is that your issue? Consider using a storage unit managed by a reputable Greenville moving and storage company. Most facilities are climate controlled, secure and private. Is a storage unit a good remedy for your items until spring? Contact your local Greenville mover.
Should I hire movers?
Depending on the size of your home, moving can be affordable. When deciding on a Greenville moving company or family and friends, there are a few things to consider. Although family and friends mean well, they are not experienced movers. Simply put, any nicks, scratches or items broken are your responsibility. Family is also under no obligation to arrive on time or move at the speed you desire. However, with skilled movers you are less likely to experience damage during your move. And if items are damaged you can file a claim with your moving company. You can also expect your movers to arrive at the time decided upon and move at a fast professional pace. All in all, you get what you pay for. Most Greenville movers work either by an hourly rate or a flat rate and it is estimated by the amount rooms and items you have to move. Traditionally two movers can adequately accommodate most one bedroom and two bedroom apartment moves. Most town-homes, condominiums and three bedroom homes require three or more movers. More than three bedrooms require four or more movers and an additional moving truck. All of the above is based upon average furnishings, of course if your home is loaded with furniture the amount of men and equipment may increase.
