How to make moving to a new apartment easier. Moving to a new apartment - signs and recommendations

14.06.2019

Moving to another city is a fairly common occurrence. And there can be very, very many reasons for it, from the desire to improve one's life to a forced state. In any case, the move must be thought out and verified so that there are no overlaps in such a stressful situation.

First of all, it is advisable to remember that moving to another city is a joyful event. In any case, even if this measure is forced, remember that new perspectives, interesting acquaintances and much more await you there. Therefore, you should not be afraid to move. Better start new life with a positive attitude. And so that it doesn’t go astray, it is advisable to prepare all the details, arrange Required documents and feel free to move.

What to consider when moving to another city

Think carefully about all the details. The list includes: - Solving problems with housing; - choosing a new place of work; - information about the new city (its sights, museums, interesting places, etc.); - calculation of all expenses; - definition of new kindergartens and schools, etc.

Experts recommend writing down all your plans. This will make it easier to organize information, and besides, you can always check your notes and make the necessary adjustments.

Be sure to check all your documents. It is easier to make any changes to them while you are still in your native and familiar territory. So, for example, if you need to change your passport, do not delay. The same applies to various insurance policies, SNILS, international passports, documents for children, etc. It will be easier and calmer for you if everything is in order. Be sure to ask at the clinic what you can count on with your insurance policy in another city. In addition, it is advisable to make copies of the card so that in a new place it is painful not to remember all your diagnoses.

Experts often recommend getting driver's license in your hometown. After all, it will be more difficult and expensive to do this in a foreign land.

It is also advisable to be puzzled by the search for housing on the spot. Although often this is not always realistic. But if you are going to live with a friend or acquaintances of women or men and guys for the first time, it is advisable to warn them in advance, and not fall on them like snow on their heads. Sometimes you can find a place where you will be allowed to stay for the first time, on thematic forums. Today, communities where people who do not know each other invite others to visit in exchange for new knowledge or reciprocal living with them in the future are quite popular. Alternatively, you can contact realtors who will begin to select suitable options for you until you arrive. This is a special plus, as professionals will help you realistically assess the situation on the real estate market and orient you at prices.

Deciding to move to another city is easier if the issue with work is resolved. But if not, this is also not an obstacle. According to statistics, newcomers find work faster than local residents, as they need to survive in new conditions. In addition, this work is likely to be quite highly paid, because often you have to rent an apartment. And this pleasure is not cheap.

Be sure to consider the issue of transporting things. It is difficult, tedious and difficult, but necessary. It is best to use freight transport. If you choose the right company, they will not be expensive for you. You can transport things in any way convenient for you - by air, by rail, by car.

There is an opinion that it is worth saving up money before aiming at moving. And this is not without common sense, since you need to live on something at first. Just like renting an apartment. If you own something, such as a car, you can sell it and get money for the first time.

It is better to look for schools and kindergartens for children on the spot, since it is quite difficult to negotiate with institutions of this kind from afar.

Try to test the soil in advance through the Internet. You can even search for girlfriends and friends through the network. In this case, when you arrive, they will already be waiting for you. And it is much easier and more pleasant than being alone in a strange city.

Things to remember when moving to another city

Try to get rid of the feeling of fear. After all, new opportunities open up before you that will help you realize yourself. And do not think that this happens only to those who go to permanent residence in the metropolis. Even if, by the will of fate, you have to settle in a provincial small town, you can easily find a use for yourself.

Be sure to take something with you that will give you confidence, even if it is an ordinary flower on the windowsill. You look at him, and you will become warmer and calmer.

Do not be nervous. After all, the decision was made consciously, which means that nothing terrible happens. Swap addresses with the girlfriends you're leaving. This will give you the opportunity not to lose contact with them. As a result, you will never feel lonely anywhere.

Anyone who at least once in their life had to move to new apartment, the feeling of "prostration" that occurs when looking at numerous things in cabinets, bedside tables and shelves is well known. Moving is not in vain “equal to one fire” - some things are lost, some beat and break on the road, and some just disappear somewhere in an unknown way. There is no need to talk about the amount of effort and nerves expended.

To your attention - the main secrets of the correct move!

Preparing to move - what to do first?

The most common mistake people make is packing at the last minute. It would seem, “Yes, everything will be in time!”, But - alas and ah - the result of the fees in the last hours before the arrival of the car is always equally deplorable.

Therefore, it is better to start preparing in advance.

About a month before the planned move, the most important things to do are:

Terminate all contracts (note - with the landlord, with companies providing cable TV, telephone, Internet, etc.) so that in the new apartment you are not required to pay money for services that continue to be provided in the old one under existing contracts.
Throw away everything you don't need , and everything that can interfere with the new owners.
Clearly define the date of the move , conclude an agreement with the relevant moving company and inform those who will help you with the move to your new home.
Sell furniture (clothes, washing/sewing machine, other things) that you don't want to take with you, but that still look pretty decent. It’s better not to set high prices so that you don’t have to leave these things for later. old apartment is free. It’s better to let them “fly away” at a modest price than no one will buy them at all. And remember: if you haven’t used a thing for more than six months, then you don’t need it - feel free to get rid of it in any convenient way.

One week before moving:

We pack all the things that you will not need in the near future.
Throw away the excess.
We begin to disassemble things, products and furniture in the kitchen.
We buy disposable plates / forks to calmly remove all the dishes from the kitchen.
We connect the Internet in a new apartment so that on the day of the move we do not frantically call companies for this purpose, running between boxes with a useless router.
We clean carpets and wash curtains (save yourself energy in a new place), as well as rewash things that require it.
We do a general cleaning in a new apartment, so as not to waste time on this after the move.

One day before moving:

We send children to their grandmother (friends).
Defrost the refrigerator.
We deal with the keys to the old and new housing ( mailboxes, garages, gates, etc.).
We take meter readings (note - we take pictures).
We collect the rest of the things.

7 secrets of preparing for the move, which will make your life easier and the fees themselves

Revision. Moving is a great way to get rid of excess junk. Starting to sort things to pack them for the move, immediately put a large box “to throw away” or “give to the neighbors”. Surely, you have things (clothes, tiles, lamp, toys, etc.) that you do not need in a new apartment. Give them to those in need and do not drag excess trash into a new apartment. Toys can be given to an orphanage, decent things can be sold on the relevant sites, and old blankets / rugs can be taken to a dog shelter.
Box with documents. We collect it especially carefully so that we can take it with us to the car on the day of the move. Put all the documents that you have into folders, label them and put them in one box. Naturally, you need to do this not the day before the move.
Box of "1st Necessity". So we label it. In this right box, when you move, you can easily find a first aid kit, toothbrushes and toilet paper, a set of change of clothes for each family member, the most necessary products (sugar, salt, coffee / tea), towels, pet food and other important things.
Box with valuables. Here we put all our gold with diamonds, if any, and other valuable items that are expensive or have a different value for you personally. This box should also be taken with you (we don’t shove it into the general “heap” in the truck, but take it with us to the salon).
Disassemble the furniture. Do not rely on chance and do not be too lazy to take it apart, so that later you do not cry over a torn sofa, a broken table and chips on a rare chest of drawers. It makes no sense to disassemble and drag old chipboard furniture with you - just distribute it to your neighbors or leave it near the garbage heap (whoever needs it will pick it up himself).
Do not make large purchases in the week before moving. Do not make food stocks either - this is excess weight and space in the truck. It is better to replenish the bins in a new place.
Prepare food the day before moving (there will be no time to cook!) and pack it in a cooler bag. Nothing is more inspiring in a new place after a move than a delicious dinner.

Collection and packing of things for the move - boxes, bags, tape

Collecting things that you have acquired in an old apartment even for 1 year is almost impossible in 1 day.

Therefore, the ideal time to "start" - a week before moving. The most important thing when collecting things is packaging.

Therefore, we start with boxes and other items for a comfortable move:

Searching or buying carton boxes (preferably sturdy and with holes for easy carrying). Most often, boxes are given away for free in hypermarkets or local stores (ask store administrators). Estimate the volume of your things and take boxes according to this volume. On average, it takes about 20-30 large boxes to pack things from a 2-room apartment in which a large family with pets lives. It is not recommended to take giant boxes - they are inconvenient to carry and difficult to lift, in addition, they often tear under the weight of things.
Do not spare money for a wide quality adhesive tape! You will need it in in large numbers, and not just to seal boxes. And preferably with a dispenser, then the work will go much faster.
Also, you can not do without cardboard "gaskets" (newspaper, wrapping paper), twine, ordinary stretch thin film and a pack of transparent bags.
Special film with "pimples" , which everyone likes to click so much, we buy in large quantities.
Multi-colored markers and stickers will not interfere either.
For packing furniture you need a dense fabric (old curtain sheets, for example), as well as thick film (as for greenhouses).
For heavy items, we allocate bags and suitcases (the boxes may not withstand them), or we put the weights in small and strong boxes, after which we carefully fix them with tape and twine.

General work plan:

We reinforce all boxes with good adhesive tape, paying special attention to the bottom of the container. You can also make pens out of it if there are no holes on the boxes themselves (or you can make these holes yourself with a clerical knife).
We allocate separate room(or part of it) for packed items.
We buy a notebook for notes, where there will be all the information on bills, movers, counters and the things themselves.

On a note:

If you use costumes, you will be glad to know that there are cardboard "cupboards" for safe transportation expensive things right on the hangers.

How to move and not forget anything - lists of things, labeling boxes and much more

In order not to search painfully for a long time in a new apartment for clothespins or tights in all the boxes that no one ever takes apart right away (usually it takes from a week to a month, and for especially lucky ones - up to a year), Use the rules of proper packing of things:

We mark the boxes with stickers and markers. For example, red is for the kitchen, green is for the bathroom, and so on. Do not forget to duplicate each box in a notebook.
Be sure to put the number on the box (on each side of the box, so that later you don’t have to twist it in search of a number!) and duplicate it in a notebook along with a list of things. If you are not shy about movers and are not afraid that “things will be stolen”, then a list with things can also be glued to the box. In a notebook, you should have all the boxes with all the lists of things. The numbering of the boxes is also useful in that it will be easier for you to check in a new place whether all the things have been brought into the apartment.
Life hack: not to look for clothespins and washing powder, pack them right in the drum washing machine. Tea and sugar can be put in a teapot, and a pack of coffee can be put in a box with a Turkish coffee grinder. The cat carrier can hold bedding, bowls and pet food. And so on, with other things.
When folding wires from appliances and gadgets, try not to confuse them. In a separate box - a scanner with wires, in another - a computer with its own wires, in separate packages, phones and other gadgets - each with its own charger. If you are afraid to get confused, immediately take a picture of the area where the wires are connected to the equipment. This cheat sheet can make life easier for you after you move.
Load bedding separately with towels and blankets with pillows.
Don't forget to set aside a separate toolbox as well. and little things needed for repairs, you will need it almost immediately after moving.

House moving - preparing furniture for transportation

Do not rely on "strong" furniture and "caring" loaders.

If your furniture is dear to you, then take care of its safety before moving.

Everything that is disassembled is disassembled, packaged and labeled. For example, we disassemble the table into parts, each one is packed in a special thick paper or cardboard ( perfect option- pimply film), each detail is marked with the letter "C" (table). We put the accessories from the table in a separate bag, twist it and fix it on one of the parts. Ideally, if you can fix all the details together or put them in narrow boxes. Don't forget the instructions! If they are preserved, put them in a bag with fittings, so that later it would be easier to assemble furniture. Place furniture keys and other quick assembly tools in the 1st Essentials box (described above).
We wrap sofas and armchairs with thick fabric , on top with a thick film and wrap it with tape. We do the same with mattresses.
We wrap all handles on doors and drawers cling film or foam rubber so as not to scratch other things.
If you do not pull out the drawers from the chest of drawers (table) be sure to secure them so that they do not fall out when carrying. Also fix all the doors on the furniture - on the kitchen and so on.
Remove all glass and mirrors from furniture and pack separately . Usually they fight first if the owners leave them in the closets.

If you are sending things to another city by container, then pay special attention to packing furniture and boxes!

Moving to a new apartment and pets - what you need to remember?

Of course, the ideal option is to send pets and children to relatives during the move. Firstly, it will be easier for parents, and secondly, it will protect children and animals from accidental injuries.

But if this is not possible, then use the "reminder" for moving with pets:

Don't swear at pets. For them, the move itself is stressful. Their attention to things and boxes is quite natural. Don't yell or yell. Remember that they will not feed themselves.
Give the animals something to distract them while gathering and running around with the boxes. - a separate box for cats (they love them), toys, bones for dogs.
In advance (a couple of weeks) resolve all issues with the veterinarian, if any. Update the information on the chip (note - phone number, address).
For transporting fish: pour the water from the aquarium into a bucket with a ventilated lid (transplant the fish there too), and transfer the vegetation from it to another container, adding the same water. Divide the soil into bags. The aquarium itself - rinse, dry, wrap with a "pimple" film.
For transporting birds: we wrap the cage with cardboard, and on top with a warm and dense cloth (birds are afraid of drafts).
Rodents can be transported in their own cages , but it is recommended to insulate them if it is too cold outside. In the heat, on the other hand, choose a place for transportation in which it will not be too hot and stuffy (so that the animals do not suffocate).
Do not feed dogs and cats right in front of the road , be sure to walk the dogs, and remove the drinkers for the duration of transportation - or, if it's hot, replace them with wet sponges.
For cats and small dogs, it is better to use rigid carriers. Naturally, it is not recommended to transport them to new house in the cargo compartment of the car. The best option is to carry pets on your lap.

And do not forget to take a couple of days off to move and unload things in a new place. Moving after a day's work is an ordeal.

Moving to a new apartment is a joyful event, but still, as folk wisdom says, it is akin to a fire. Favorite sofa, suitcase, bag, as well as several dozen boxes and boxes are finally packed. At the threshold, loaders are already shifting from foot to foot. You and your things are ready to go towards a new living space. However, most often it is at the very last moment, and often even after the move, that it turns out that your favorite shelf was left as a legacy to the new owners, and with it you have forever lost a battery of blanks on the old balcony. But in the coat pocket is still languishing, according to old memory, the second pair of keys to no longer your apartment. In order to avoid unnecessary frustration and make the most exciting moment of the move as easy as possible, it is better to plan everything in advance and discuss all the nuances with the buyer of the apartment in as much detail as possible.

In order to avoid unnecessary frustration and make the most exciting moment of the move as easy as possible, it is better to plan everything in advance and discuss all the nuances with the buyer of the apartment in as much detail as possible.

What should be left in the old apartment?

First, it is worth clarifying that universal prescription on this account does not exist. It will be necessary to resolve the issue of things “in the load” with the buyer of the apartment.

The only thing that should definitely be left as a legacy to the new owners is all the necessary documents, sets of keys and paid bills for the last few months. Everything else is specified on an individual basis. You can leave things, throw them away or sell them to the new owner of the apartment for a piece price.

The first thing to agree on is the issue of built-in communications. Discuss in advance whether you will leave the modem, telephone, boiler, gas stove, lamps or safe. All this often turns out to be simply not necessary after the move, as it is selected individually for each living space. At the same time, some buyers often regard such things as an integral part of the purchased apartment.

Then you need to think about the advisability of moving furniture. First, measure the doorways and ceiling heights in the new one. The old sofa may simply not enter the new spans, and the closet may be higher than the ceilings. Kitchen set not suitable for the layout, and the bed will take up most of the bedroom. Consider whether shipping and fitting costs are worth it old furniture cheaper than buying a new one. At the same time, a couple of old chairs or a tabletop can be very useful for a new owner when repairing.

Also talk to the buyer about a major household appliances. When transporting things, the walls are often injured and become unusable. washing machine or glass oven door. At the same time, the buyer of an apartment can be very happy with the purchase dishwasher or refrigerator in addition to square meters. You will save space in the truck, and invest the proceeds in the purchase of new equipment.

Separately, it must be said that not all new settlers will be happy to spend several days removing your old things. Specify in advance whether you need to vacate the apartment completely or you can leave what you are not ready to take with you.

How to plan a move?

The most important and simplest thing you can do to make your move easier is to plan ahead. Most hurried movers put things in boxes just a few days or even hours before movers arrive. This is the main reason for subsequently forgotten things. If you start preparing for the move at least two months in advance, then everything will go much calmer.

The main piece of advice that trucking firms give to customers is to pre-number the boxes. If you make a list where you write down what is in a particular box, then after the move, the scale of the mess and the time it takes to find the right things will noticeably decrease.

For two months:

Think over the arrangement in the new apartment. Measure the area of the rooms, the width of the openings, and the height of the ceilings;

Search for a company for the transportation of goods;

Find out more about the infrastructure next to the new one.

Per month:

Make a list of the property you will take with you. Take a photo or video of both rooms and all the most important things. This is useful not only for calculating the layout, but also for resolving possible disputes;

Call a specialist from the moving company for an assessment and decide on the final date of the move;

Notify utilities, medical institutions, banks and loved ones about the move.

For a couple of weeks:

Do not forget to pick up clothes from dry cleaning or equipment from repairs;

If you have items or things borrowed from neighbors, return them;

If you decide to do the packing yourself, then it's time to stock up on materials and tools;

Start packing items that are not needed in everyday life (books, dinner sets, interior decor items, etc.). Inspect mezzanines, cabinets and balconies. Pack everything you want to take with you and throw out everything you don't need;

Agree with the company on the final timetable for the relocation process.

During the week:

Free the walls from paintings, clocks, cornices;

Make a call to a specialist to turn off large household appliances;

Inspect furniture, household appliances and record scratches and damage. This information will be needed by the loader foreman;

Start packing pillows, mattresses, blankets and winter clothes in plastic bags;

As you move in, pack all your clothes. Leave only the essentials.

For three days:

Pack glass shelves, mirrors in cardboard and seal with tape. Try not to use woolen or flannelette blankets for packing: when moving, they will slip out of your hands;

Pack all remaining items, except for those that will be needed on the day of the move;

Door handles and various decorations on furniture should be removed;

Disassemble large-sized furniture and fold separately various nuts, screws;

Write on the boxes what closet things come from and in what room they will be after the move.

Moving tomorrow!

Label boxes with fragile items and set them apart;

Defrost the refrigerator and pack the remaining food;

Separately fold documents, money, jewelry, necessary medicines and keys. It is better to transport these things on your own;

Make sure the aisles are clear. Remove items that can interfere with the work of loaders;

Look around the apartment again. Make sure you don't forget anything.

Remember, the main thing in moving is calmness and maximum preparedness. Plan the fees in advance, discuss all the details with the buyer of your apartment, and use the services of professional movers. Then the move can really be the beginning of something new in your life.

I am moving again... Since this “process” in my life is far from the first and not the last time, I know how to move correctly. I want to reveal to you my and acquired secrets of moving. Some nuances save nerves and hours of work, and stressful situation will not turn into a disaster with lost or damaged things.

Sorting items for moving

Preparing things for the move

get busy cleaning carpets and curtains before moving. I speak on personal experience- you will have a lot of other problems after the move. I was always glad that I was not too lazy to do this in advance.
I do not allow stale linen to be left before moving. Trying freshen things up, which are stuck.
Gather emergency emergency box- with a bag of coffee, toothbrushes, a couple of sandwiches, napkins and toilet paper, first aid kit, a set of disposable tableware, a comb, a change of linen. I toss a clean T-shirt for myself and my husband.
Tape the bottom of each box with tape.
Try not to make large grocery purchases 1.5-2 weeks before moving. Empty the freezer.

Packing things

Moving with animals

It is easier for the dog to survive the move if they are part of the process - do not scold him for his curiosity and interest in boxes. Speak in a reassuring voice, pay attention to the dog as often as possible, because he does not understand what is happening. Take a break for play and walking during the training camp, do not forget about feeding at the usual time for the pet. This is a member of your family that should not be neglected.

Don't touch the dog's things until the very last moment. Go to the veterinarian for a routine check-up a week or two before moving, because after moving you will be very busy. The dog must travel with you, in no case should you leave it alone in an empty house.

Let the animal be the first visitor to the new residence. His things should be the first to get into the room. The first weeks we walk on a leash, we say “home” at the door of the house so that the dog gets used to the new place and accepts it as his refuge as quickly as possible. If your dog has a microchip, be sure to update the information with the address and phone numbers. I have no experience with cats.

Preparing the premises for the move

Clean out your new home BEFORE you move. What I will write next is not mandatory, and to some it will even seem like a diagnosis, but my experience makes me do each of the points - so I can be calm about the health of my family. This is especially true for moving to rented housing without a clean repair. So:

bathroom, bath, kitchen sink treated with chlorine. I use gloves and a respirator. I also wash kitchen cabinets with bleach in places where they come into contact with dishes. This directly affects your health, do not neglect cleaning with chlorine before settling in.
I wash the fridge with soda and it stays open until check-in.
Chests of drawers, cabinets, shelves vacuumed in cracks and grooves, washed with vinegar (it will fade very quickly, it will kill other people's dust mites). I wipe the sofas and armchairs with vinegar, having previously vacuumed repeatedly.
Bitter experience taught me to process floors around the perimeter of the baseboard with dichlorvos (or analogues). I clean other people's carpets on the street and also go through dichlorvos.
If something is leaking somewhere, I seal it, tighten the loose sockets.
I bring the stove to the possible perfection of the special. means, the oven is cleaned with ammonia. I soak other people's cutlery, including plates and cups, in a bucket with a solution of whiteness (liquid bleach).
7. I ventilate the room. It is important for me to surround myself with a pleasant and familiar smell in a new home, so I take care of this in advance - a few drops essential oil oranges in chest drawers and cabinets.

My time-to-hour moves are becoming more familiar and less of a hassle, and the above suggestions should make moving easier for you too.

Additional help for those who are planning to move to a new apartment - signs and the rules they dictate. At present, few people listen to them, but if this is not done, you can incur trouble. Therefore, we will understand the traditions associated with moving.

Moving to a new apartment - signs of our ancestors

When moving to a new place, our ancestors must. If you do not take the brownie with you, he will suffer, howl at night and interfere with new tenants. You don't want the suffering of the being that helped you all the time, do you?

When part of the family remains at the old place of residence, the brownie is not taken away. If someone lived in a new house for you before, the brownie is most likely already there, and you should make friends with him. If the house is new and built recently, a good house spirit must be called.

The old broom usually climbed into new housing. There are two reasons for this. The first - brownies live under brooms. The second reason is that the old broom can be severely damaged.

Leaving the old place of residence, they left a few coins so that the new tenants would live in abundance. Accordingly, prosperity awaited the new settlers, because what you wish for another, you will receive yourself. Before moving into a new apartment, they also throw coins on the floor for a rich life.

One of the relatives, not busy transporting things, kneaded the dough in the old place. Then bread was baked from it already in the new house.

In the past, it was believed that whoever entered the house first would die. New housing makes a sacrifice for the well-being of new tenants and their longevity. Therefore, it was customary for the older members of the family to enter first. Later, they began to run the cat first into the house. It's a cat, not a cat. It is desirable that it be black. The cat will not be harmed by this, and he will live as long as he is released. It was believed that the lamb for their evil spirits would not be offended.

Watch where the cat lies, what places he chooses to sleep and rest. Usually beds or a cradle for a child were placed there. Cats always choose auspicious places in the house and try to stay away from the unfavorable. Now not everyone keeps cats, so figurines depicting black cats often “enter” new houses first. In the future, they stand near the door and protect the house from evil spirits.

After the cat got used to the new place, they did a general cleaning of the entire room. Salt was often added to the water for purification.

In the villages, before moving to a new home, they still let a rooster into it for the night. In the morning, with its crowing, the rooster drives out all the evil spirits that could settle in the room. And after that, jelly is prepared from the bird and served to guests for housewarming. Also, the rooster is considered a symbol of wealth and fertility, which he brings during his stay in the house.

The corners of the new dwelling were smeared with honey to live sweetly.

In the old days, it was customary to fumigate new dwellings with wormwood, juniper or other herbs with cleansing and fireless properties. They also cleaned the room with candles and special prayers. You can also read "Our Father", This is a universal prayer suitable for any situation.

Signs when moving to a new home - Feng Shui

Feng Shui experts believe that you should choose the right date for moving to a new home. To make this task easier, you can use . It is best to move in one day, immediately transport all things and no longer have to return to the old place. Don't start moving in the evening. Ideally, when these chores begin in the morning and end in the evening.

Feng Shui does not advise residents to take things out of an old house on their own. You can ask relatives to do this or hire movers. If relatives ask why they have to do the gathering while you are messing around - just answer: feng shui orders.

But it is precisely those who are going to live there who should bring the acquired good into the new apartment. Of course, sometimes this is not feasible, but you should take part even if you have hired helpers.

First of all, you should bring the most valuable and expensive things into the house. It will bring wealth and prosperity.

Leaving old housing dirty should not be. Be sure to put it in order before you leave for a new home. This expresses gratitude to the old house for warmth and comfort, which will allow you to start living in a pleasant atmosphere at a new address. Old housing can take care of you and make life better in the new one. Say goodbye to him, thank you out loud or to yourself for the years of care, take good memories with you, and let go of the bad ones.

There is another reason for cleaning in an old apartment, but it has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Our ancestors believed that new tenants could spoil the garbage. And not necessarily on purpose, because negative words and emotions also matter. No one will be happy to see the dirt in their new home, and certainly will not thank the previous owners for this. For the same reason, they fix minor problems like leaking taps.

Clearing a new place to live is an important step in moving. Open windows to let in Fresh air, and then briefly open all the taps in the bathroom and kitchen. Then you should turn on the lights in each room, turn on any pleasant music and put on the kettle to drink tea for the first time in the new house.

housewarming tips

Our ancestors arranged two housewarming holidays. The first was a festive dinner for all the residents of the new house, and the second was already inviting guests and accepting gifts.

The first celebration is now celebrated quite simply - they prepare several relatively simple dishes in advance and immediately after settling into a new living space, champagne is opened. Sometimes relatives and friends who helped with the move also participate in this small festive lunch or dinner. After the celebration is over, they usually treat the brownie to what was on the table. Do not forget that he does not like meat and eggs.

In a few days, when all issues related to the arrangement of a new apartment are resolved, it is already possible to invite guests and arrange a housewarming feast. Why is this necessary in terms of signs? The fact is that cheerful gatherings with friends and relatives attract positive energy to the house. It is especially good if children's laughter sounds in your house during housewarming.

If during the housewarming celebration guests sit down at a rich and generous table, it means that people in this house will always be in abundance. A beautifully decorated table with a clean tablecloth and "ceremonial" dishes portends. At the table, they only talk about pleasant things, do not discuss things and phenomena of a negative nature.

In the center of the table, a towel with red and green flowers embroidery is usually placed, and a housewarming loaf is placed on it. It is decorated with sprigs of mountain ash, viburnum or other berries that grow in your region.

Each guest must throw a coin over the threshold, inside the house. This rain of money attracts the energy of obtaining material wealth and career development. Well, if the owners of the house fall under it.
