When moving an item with drawers or doors, it’s when you are carrying the item when an accident is most likely. If professional movers can make this mistake, so can you.<br /><br />“Oh #$%@!” The expressions that come out of people’s mouths when moving furniture are sometimes priceless. But, in all seriousness, the reasons for such expressions are because they are handling heirlooms and/or items of high monetary value. Moving something that has drawers or doors seems to be easy enough to handle, but can often be the source of unnecessary mistakes and damage during a move.<br /><br />WHY DO WE LET THIS HAPPEN?<br /><br />It is not hard to prevent, but it happens anyway. Why? Because many of us find ourselves working hard, working fast and becoming less careful as the move goes on. Seeing your house empty-out makes for a feeling of progress. Instead of pausing and making sure the piece is safe to move, we grab it and go – and with a partner on the other end if the piece is big.<br /><br />Then you start negotiating turns, stairs or uneven ground outside. A little turn here, a little tilt there and all of a sudden a finely finished drawer falls to the ground or a door on a hutch top swings open. Then you say mo8&!@ &*cO2#!<br /><br />WHAT TO DO - Secure the drawers or doors prior to picking up the piece. You can use several materials. A professional mover actually has very large rubber bands to fit around furniture. You probably don’t. You can use string, but be careful to not damage a finely finished surface. You should have a cloth or paper pad between the string and furniture if it has a fine finish.<br /><br />You can use plastic stretch wrap too. If you are storing the furniture, moisture may condense on plastic and damage a fine finish, so always use a a cloth or paper pad to protect the furniture from direct contact with the plastic if it will be stored. You can get stretch wrap from most Go Mini’s locations.<br /><br />Remember to secure loose shelves too. You may best off if you take them out before moving a piece of furniture. In summary, remember to check every piece of furniture before moving. If you have friends helping you, you would be wise to do this before they arrive<br /><br />Our fourth in a series of professional moving tips for the do-it-yourself mover.

The program is designed for homeowners who are in financial trouble but don’t qualify for the $75 billion mortgage modification program.<br /><br />Go Mini’s can help move you for 10% or less of that cost. Give us a call today at 770-977-7767 or visit our <a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/">website</a> for a free price quote.<br /><br /><p></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></span><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);"><a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/"><img src="http://www.tellemonline.com/asp/tellem_images/images001270476/Images/gominislogo3.jpg" height="80" width="150" /></a></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);"><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/info@gominisatlanta.com">info@gominisatlanta.com</a></span></p><br /><br /><br /><p></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-size:78%;" ><a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/">portable storage atlanta</a> <a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/">mobile storage atlanta</a> <a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/">pods atlanta</a> <a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/">atlanta moving</a> <a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/">atlanta storage</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/72609258036755608-2663276358576300506?l=gominisatlanta.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Go Minis Atlantanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72609258036755608.post-85477222563705136662010-04-19T14:16:00.000-07:002010-04-19T14:17:18.030-07:00FREE DISC LOCK WITH YOUR GO MINI!!!<br /><br />Mention that you saw this Weekly Special on our Blog and with your order receive a FREE DISC LOCK (like the one pictured below) with each Go Mini's container you order.

If you have rented a portable storage container from Go Mini’s or anyone else, you are going to want to know how to best take care of your personal belongings. Refer to this blog as often as necessary to find the tips of all kinds. These are tips the pros would use too.<br /><br />Tip #3 - Moving a washing machine - You must know these tips before you move one!<br /><br />We chose the washing machine as a moving tip because moving a washing machine is a potential disaster. Don’t believe us? Movers move washing machines often enough and eventually get burned. And that’s why we have some very important tips for you. In this article, we will tell you the main problems and why they are so.<br /><br />Problem #1 - Leaking valves<br /><br />When you hook up a bran new washing machine, you connect your two water hoses from the hot and cold water valves to the hot and cold threaded stems on the back of the washing machine. Assuming this is done correctly, you open up the valves and - Voila! - your water supply is connected. You do not need to do anything with these hoses or valves. There is a good chance you will not touch them until you move or replace the washing machine with a new one. That’s fine, but understand that when you go to disconnect the hoses, the valves may not close for you and, even if they do at first, they may not stay closed. Here’s why. Your standard valve closes off the flow of water with a rubber “seat” inside. When the valve is new, the rubber is flexible and durable. But, over time, your water can corrode the “seat”. Hard mineral deposits can react with the rubber. Chlorinated water will dissolve the rubber. So when you close the valve, you may not have any rubber left to make the closed valve water tight.<br /><br />Here is another warning! At first, the valves may hold water. But if the “seat” is corroded, a little bit of water pressure may break the seat and turn a drip into a steady flow. Now, if you were in the process of moving out of a house, imagine what could happen 24 or 48 hours after you left the house. The flood could start and will keep going. The problems are potentially disastrous. Imagine you are “down the road” to your new residence while the leak is beginning to reach all corners of the house; destroying carpet, walls or ceilings below. Sorry to scare anyone reading this, but the potential is very real. Bu there is a way to prevent it. Change the valve? No. The other valve is likely soldered onto a pipe and replacing the valve would require the expense of a plumber. The easiest way is to feel comfortable there will be no leak is to attach a threaded valve cap to the valve.<br /><br />Just remove the hose from the valve. Put some teflon tape over the threads of the valve and firmly tighten a threaded valve cap. Now, if the valve will not hold water, the cap will.<br /><br />Problem #2 - Never re-use those black hoses, which connect from the valve to the washing machine. Over time, the hoses can get brittle and crack. Solution? - Spend a few bucks and get new hoses.<br /><br />Problem #3 - Another thing to think about is a conventional washing machine never fully drains all its water. So this means two things. It will be much heavier and will also leak water if you are carrying it on an angle. If possible, leave the washer open for a few days to let some of the water evaporate.<br /><br />You can move a washing machine but you just need to be aware of the very real risks.<br /><br />Go Mini’s portable storage containers make it easy to move and store your own items. Now you have professional advice for when you move your washing machine.

If you have rented a portable storage container from Go Mini’s or anyone else, you are going to want to know how to best take care of your personal belongings. Refer to this blog as often as necessary to find the tips of all kinds. These are tips the pros would use too.<br /><br />Tip #2 - Packing fragile dishes and stemware<br /><br />So you have made the decision to move yourself. Well we have some good advice for you when it comes to packing your fragile dishes and stemware. Let’s start with the first step in packing your own fragile items. Get the best boxes or plastic containers you can. If the pros were packing for you, they would use a very sturdy cardboard box to pack your fragile dishes and stemware. The box the pros use is much more sturdy than other boxes they will use. Ask Go Mini’s for a triple wall corrugated box. Movers refer to these boxes as “dish-paks” or “dish barrels”. The standard volume of this box is 5.2 cubic feet.<br /><br />With the correct type of box selected, we can move on to wrapping and packing. Get clean paper. WARNING!!! - Old Newspapers can leave ink stains on fine china. Go Mini’s of NY, NJ and CT offers un-printed newspaper. Place your item to be wrapped on the corner of the paper and wrap the paper and fold in the sides. Usually you can create a double layer or more using this technique. For larger items, like dinner plates, you will not get a double layer. So start by wrapping the plate in two pieces of paper at the same time.<br /><br />BEFORE YOU PUT ANYTHING IN THE BOX - Crumple up several pieces of paper and make a cushion-y layer in the bottom of your box. Now you can begin to put dishes in the box. Start by putting your larger items in like plates. If you have a set of plates, they will fit together nicely. Then surround your plates with another cushion of crumpled up paper. You are going to work your way up from the bottom building a series of layers. Crumpled up paper is the key. Keep using it between layers of dishes. Make sure to not leave any empty spaces in the box. This way, the box will not settle and neither will the dishes packed inside.<br /><br />Go Mini’s portable storage containers make it easy to move and store your own items. Now you have advice to pack like the experts.

If you have rented a portable storage container from Go Mini’s or anyone else, you are going to want to know how to best take care of your personal belongings. Refer to this blog as often as necessary to find the tips of all kinds. These are tips the pros would use too.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Tip #1 - Prevent “load shift” during transit.</span><br /><br />We thought our very first tip should give the kind of advice every do-it-yourself mover should know. When a professional mover loads your items onto a moving truck, one of their primary objectives is to load the truck in a way that will prevent load shift. Movers know when they are driving down the road, they will encounter steep hills, sharp turns, sudden stops, large potholes etc. You as the do-it-yourself mover should know your possessions will encounter the same potential issues when they are in transit.<br /><br />That’s why you need to think about load shift!<br /><br />One strategy used by the pros to prevent load shift is one you can easily use too. Large flat items are the answer. Mattresses and other large flat items like plywood are perfect for helping to prevent load shift. DO NOT load mattresses or plywood into your Go Mini portable storage container first. Start by counting how many of these large flat items you have and plan to load them strategically throughout your Go Mini. It’s even more effective if you use straps or rope to tighten the mattress or plywood against the load.<br /><br />Just in case this is not clear, stand the large flat item up on its end. When you are looking into the Mini, you should be face to face with the wide side of the mattress or plywood you are using to secure your load. Another benefit of this is, after you have secured the flat item with straps or rope, you have another flat wall to start building another tier of boxes and furniture.<br /><br />If possible, save a flat item for the end of your load. Here’s why. After you have rolled down the door, you do not want to have something shift and then lean against the roll-up door of your portable storage container. It has happened to a few people in the past.<br /><br />Loading your Go Mini’s portable storage container is easy with its translucent roof and ground level entrance.

Most people are looking for a newer, more adequate size, or more cost appropriate home. Eleven million individual’s moves are family related, while 7 million are work associated.<br /><br />There are many publications that list the “Best Places to Move”, or “Safest Places to Live”, and they are fun to read. With perhaps the exception of retirees, most Americans do not have the option of choosing to move wherever they wish.<br /><br />Here’s an alphabetical list of the 10 cities honored by U.S. News as this year’s Best Places to Retire:<br /><br /> * Bella Vista, Ark.<br /> * Boulder, Colo.<br /> * Eden Prairie, Minn.<br /> * Green Valley, Ariz.<br /> * Issaquah, Wash.<br /> * Long Meadow, Mass.<br /> * Portland, Maine<br /> * Punta Gorda, Fla.<br /> * Reston, Va.<br /> * Walnut Creek, Calif.<br /><br />These do not necessarily coincide with another publication that lists the “best states” to live in:<br /><br /> * New Hampshire<br /> * Minnesota<br /> * Vermont<br /> * Wyoming<br /> * Virginia<br /><br />Or the “cheapest places” to live:<br /><br /> * Oklahoma<br /> * Texas<br /> * Tennessee<br /> * Arkansas<br /> * Nebraska<br /><br />Or the “most secure” large cities:<br /><br />Austin–Round Rock, Tex.<br /><br /> * Des Moines–West Des Moines, Iowa<br /> * Madison, Wis.<br /> * Bethesda–Gaithersburg–Frederick, Md.<br /> * Rochester, N.Y.<br /><br />How people move is another issue entirely. There a three basic avenues people choose for these moves. Let’s examine them and the reasoning behind the choices.<br /><br />Do-It-Yourself Move<br /><br />If we assume that you do not have a large enough truck then you will need to secure one of the correct size. Also be aware of any special driver licensing.<br /><br />DIY entails packing your items, packing the truck, driving the truck to your new destination, unloading the truck and then returning the truck to the rental agency in time so as not to incur late fees. This may sound like an ordeal, but single people rarely have so many possessions that throwing it in a rental truck is an problem. However, when you begin to add a second person and children this process can easily become more time consuming and difficult.<br /><br />If age is on your side and you have healthy friends to pitch in on moving day, going the route of renting, packing and driving a rental truck may be a viable option. Once bad backs, weak knees and shoulders come into play, professional movers may begin to look more appealing.<br /><br />Full Service Professional<br /><br />First off there is no problem securing a truck. A full service moving company will come to your home, pack your items, pack the moving van, drive your possessions to the new location and unload the van. This option can greatly reduce your stress, but the cost will be increased significantly. A full service pro will figure out where to park the moving truck and secure potential permits they will need - a feature city dwellers will appreciate.<br /><br />When using a full-service moving company, the time of year will impact your cost. If you’re moving between Memorial Day and Labor Day, it may be difficult to find a mover because of demand and movers are less likely to negotiate on costs.<br /><br />Latest Trend<br />Believe it or not, but there is a third option that more and more Americans are learning about; it is called portable moving or self-service moving. The concept is simple. A storage container is delivered to you, you box your own items, you pack it in the container which you have for an extended period of time, and the portable storage mover drives the contents to the new location. You unpack your items at your leisure and the company returns, usually between two to four weeks, to pick up the empty container. This option is less costly than a full service mover and less of physical and logistic stress than the do-it-yourself move.<br />One of the leading portable storage companies in North America is Go Mini’s with over 200 locations in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Go Mini’s takes out all the stress in moving and your move can be handled with one phone call.

Whatever the cause, calling in a restoration company is a good move. There are many reasons why it’s a good move including time and money. Let’s examine some of them.<br /><br />First, they have the knowledge and the tools to take care of your flood related problems in ways you are not equipped to deal with. If a flood was to occur in your home, are you prepared to go out and invest in professional equipment needed to do the clean up job correctly? Second, what did you have planned for the week? Were you planning on working? It seems it would be a lot better to hire a restoration company than to spend up to several days trying to save everything on your own. Thirdly and maybe most importantly, they are familiar with your homeowner’s insurance policy. They also have experience in dealing directly with insurance companies for flood damage.<br /><br />When Go Mini’s opened in NY, CT and NJ in 2005, several restoration companies began calling us. Unlike most customers, they would call at all hours of the day and they would want a Go Mini’s portable storage units delivered almost immediately. The sooner they can get a homeowners furniture, documents and other possessions out of the house, the better the chance they have of saving them.<br /><br />For the restoration industry, the portable storage container was a welcome innovation and gave them great advantages and flexibility in dealing with a homeowner’s disaster quickly. Truck rentals were hit and miss in terms of availability and they still had to find a place to store the items beyond the first day or two. When they call Go Mini’s, restoration companies can expect a container delivered within hours and they can leave it there as long as necessary. And if they want to bring items to another facility for further work or sorting, they can just have the Mini moved upon request.<br /><br />If you have a flood in your home, make the smart choice and call a restoration company. Your possessions will take time to restore, but your every day life will be restored much sooner.</blockquote><br /><br /><p></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></span><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);"><a href="http://gominisatlanta.com/"><img src="http://www.tellemonline.com/asp/tellem_images/images001270476/Images/gominislogo3.jpg" height="80" width="150" /></a></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);"><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/info@gominisatlanta.com">info@gominisatlanta.com</a></span></p><br /><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/72609258036755608-8784774138852488979?l=gominisatlanta.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Go Minis Atlantanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72609258036755608.post-58019224049381142752010-01-20T16:23:00.000-08:002010-01-20T16:28:03.483-08:00This is from a competitor's website but it absolutely nails it:<br /><br /><br /><blockquote>Regardless of the delivery system, your items will shift inside the container, unless they are tied down. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't be fooled by fancy "lifting" devices</span>.

Common sense should dictate than any successful moving company would not endure the test of time if it had a “loading system” that created a problem as opposed to insuring against one. In today’ post I’m going to separate the fiction of the rhetoric and slick sales pitches from the truth surrounding the issue of load shift. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);">Nothing is more important to Go Mini’s customers than insuring that their contents are safe and secure during a move. Go Mini’s recognizes the importance of delivering your valuables to their destination in the same condition in which they were originally placed into our care. Everything we do from employing professional drivers, hiring the best trained moving staff in the industry, having a controlled loading and unloading process, and having the best engineered containers (our containers hold a US Patent) with the most comprehensive and secure tie-down system in the market all give testimony to our commitment to insuring a damage free move for our customers. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);">While all reputable companies in the moving and transportation industry take great care to deal with the potential of contents shifting during a move, the truth of the matter is that load shift can occur anytime professional care is not taken. Loading systems and technology used by any established company are designed to keep your possessions safe and secure. The fact of the matter is that load shift and damage can and do occur as a result of human error, but doesn’t occur based upon the particular technology used in a company’s loading system. It is reckless drivers and/or not securing contents properly that can result in load shift, which in turn can cause damage to contents. This is why it’s important to hire the best people possible when selecting a mover. Our business is like any other…it’s the people that make the difference.
