Most movers are so happy to finally arrive in their new home that they are able to overlook chipped dinner plates or a scratch on the dining room table. But there's no reason your household goods should become casualties of the move. With a little care and planning your household goods will both arrive in mint condition.
Following are packing tips to consider when packing large items, packing small items and packing awkward items.
Packing Large Items:
- Tie bed frames together with tape or rope then label the pieces so they are easy to reassemble.
- Fill drawers with clothes or fragile, well-wrapped items. Cover them with a blanket or with furniture pads and rope securely.
- Remove table legs, pad and tie together. Put nuts and bolts in a bag and tape them underneath the tabletop.
- Empty, defrost and drain the refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher. Clean the interiors and put accessories in bags. Stuff towels between washer sides to prevent rotating and tape down any moveable parts. Cover with blankets and tie.
- Use the original packaging for computers, televisions and electronics, or buy electronic-specific boxes.
Packing Small Items:
- Put your microwave, VCR and other small appliances into boxes and cushion with wadded paper.
- Pack books flat in small cartons, alternating bindings. Try to keep each box under 30 lbs.
- Pack hanging items, such as clothing and drapes, in wardrobe boxes. Leave small items in drawers.
- Wrap fragile collectibles in bubble wrap and tape them securely.
- Pack CD's upright and cushion with them newspaper.
- Stack pots and pans and cushion with them paper.
- Place any kitchen items you will need immediately in a separate box and label appropriately so you know which one to unpack first.
- Wrap dishes individually in bubble wrap and never stack them flat. Pack plates on saucers on edges and place cups and bowls around them.
Packing Awkward Items:
- Wrap chair arms and legs with bubble wrap. Place slipcovers on chairs or buy chair bags for protection.
- Loosen the handlebars from bicycles and turn them sideways. Cover chains and pedals to keep grease off other items.
- Wrap small items, such as mirrors and artwork, in newsprint and pack in mirror boxes. Cover larger pieces with cardboard, tape them securely and stand them along the sides of the truck or inside wardrobe boxes.
- Disassemble heavy lawn furniture. Put nuts and bolts in a bag and tie together.
- Roll up rugs and secure with rope or tape.
- Place plants in plastic bags with air holes then in boxes. Water them before you leave.
- Wrap sharp edges of tools and use plenty of cushioning to prevent injury. Tape long-handled tools together and place smaller ones in boxes.
- Empty gasoline from all tanks of lawnmowers and edgers and check for oil leaks.
- Use medium-sized boxes for garage and attic items, such as spray paints, brushes and car waxes. Throw away oily rags or anything combustible.
- Keep pets in a pet carrier up front with you. Ask your vet for suggestions on how to make their move less traumatic.

Preparing the Moped for the Winter Months
Some time towards the end of autumn, you will need to think about packaging away your 50cc moped and preparing it for the cold season.
It's not really that I haven't attempted to ride my moped in the wintertime in the past, I have, and it really is a hazardous activity when you rely on steadiness on two wheels in dicey conditions.
I have vivid memories of sliding down the main Longbridge Road on my backside, with my little 50cc moped sliding beside me. The fall wasn't really the problem, it was the fact that there was a double-decker bus and an 18 wheel lorry right behind me who couldn't stop either. By the time the bus had stopped it was no more than 8 feet behind me, and if it hadn't stopped, well let's just say I wouldn't be writing this now.
So, let's get these 50cc mopeds packed up for Winter, and make sure they are in good condition for the coming Spring.
First things first, I generally empty the oil. I take out every last drop, and replace it with a half load of winter oil. I know it seems like a waste, because in the spring I will take this out and replace it with normal oil, it's just something I do.
Do you remember the B.O.L.T checks? Of course you do? You do it every time you get on your bike don't you? Okay, but now it's really important to check your brakes, oil, lights and tires. Any metal work that is damp, or any debris caught in the bike may cause problems while it is packed away. Things will rot, damp will oxidise and your bike may suffer as a result.
Personally, I spend a bit of time trying to avoid getting condensation on my bike by lagging with an absorbent material around places like the handlebars, spokes, and any metalwork around the exhaust and electrical system. Again this isn't compulsory, but it does help. Make sure whatever you lag your bike with his absorbent, simple plastic tape will actually trap moisture in and will be a real problem next spring. So this activity is best done when you're sure that your 50cc moped is completely dry.
My 50cc moped spends the Winter in a shed in my back garden. It's not warm but it keeps the damp and cold of it. The shed serves as my kids playhouse in the summer, but it's the ideal place for my moped in the winter.
The worst elements on your bike would be snow. It will sit on the exposed surfaces for days before it melts gradually oxidising anything underneath it can rot rubber, rusted metal, and even discolour plastic and facias.
I don't advise a plastic bike cover for the whole winter. Temperature changes can be quite sharp, and these bike bags can become condensation traps, and actually make any rust problem even worse.
There may be times during the winter when it is possible to ride your 50cc moped for a day or two, but whether you do this or not, I recommend getting your bike out at least once a month
So to make sure everything is fine, about every two weeks pop out and start her up. Let the engine tick over for five minutes and recheck the bike for any issues that may have occurred.
I have seen perfectly good moped pushed into the back garden in the Autumn, and come the following Spring it is just a pile of rust on two wheels. There is no need for this to happen if you take some basic precautions when finishing your riding year. It's great to keep the value of your bike, and have it ready for when you need it in the following spring.
Take care of your bike, and it'll take care of you.

Finally I should mention, whether it's a
50cc moped
or a 125cc, get it checked out by a
moped dealer
every year.
What are the people on motorbikes in London, with maps on the windvisor doing?
Recently, all around London, I have noticed there are many people on mopeds and motorbikes, that have maps taped to a pieice of plastic above the handlebars.
They are not pizza delivery people, or seem to be experienced couriers.
Does anyone know what they are doing? Are they training for something?
Are they rubbish spies?
Thanks.
They are trainee London cabbies. I think they're given a map of a certain area to study and they go round on a moped to familiarise themselves with the area.
Thanks for visiting!
