Melbourne winters are cold, rainy, and overall very ‘blah’. Combine a house move with this gloomy weather, and you’re likely having trouble facing it. You’ll be pleased to know, however, that there are things you can do to make a Melbourne move in winter virtually stress-free.
Here’s how you can make the move much easier, even in the midst of a wet and cold Melbourne winter.
Don’t get caught short on moving day by having packed all your weather-appropriate clothes in the previous days. You need to be able to keep warm while still moving easily and keeping comfortable. You should also keep out a pair or two of joggers or other slip-resistant shoes to keep yourself safe in the wet weather.
If it’s raining on moving day (which is highly likely during a Melbourne winter), then you’ll quickly see why cardboard boxes are a bad idea. They aren’t water-proof, or even water-resistant, so they’ll quickly start falling apart. Your items will suffer water damage as well.
The best thing to do is use plastic crates and boxes so that your items stay dry despite the wet weather. If your move is during winter, start stocking up on plastic crates as soon as possible to spread out the expense. You can also rent them. If you can’t get plastic boxes, use garbage bags or cling wrap to help keep your cardboard boxes safe from the weather.
Wet weather means slippery floors and shoes, and when you’re lifting boxes and other heavy items it’s an accident waiting to happen. Use old towels, sheets or other types of non-slip fabric to put down for added protection. It also stops dirt and mud from being tracked into your new home (or your old one).
Roads become more dangerous in the wet, and you’re probably not used to driving a van or truck. This adds up to a much higher chance of an accident, so it’s worth taking out transit insurance to give yourself and your items more protection.
