Get Moving – Your LIFO Box

What should you have in your “last on the van, first out of the van” box? These are the things that you are going to want first. There are some things that are just necessary in an empty house (before the boxes are unpacked). If you are not moving locally, you will want a box that will be the first thing you open at your new house so that you can have a drink of water and use the washroom. Here are some items I consider important for your LIFO box:
- Coffee, tea and sugar
- Kettle
- A few mugs, plastic glasses
- Paper plates and plastic cutlery
- Plastic garbage and food storage bags
- Toilet paper
- Kleenex and paper towels
- Light bulbs (Some previous owners take all the bulbs!!)
- Cleaning rags and brushes
- Remember, you are not likely moving liquids
- Buy – milk, juice, water bottles, cleaning liquids, bottle of wine
- Snacks – you might need to carb load
- Tools such as a hammer, scissors, screw driver and pliers.
Your LIFO Box will save your sanity.
