Are you moving in 2021? You need to read this.

I really enjoy working with others when they need help.  This means that I end up spending a lot of weekends helping out people and this helps my personality a lot.  I like to be social so its a cool thing for me and them. This year I have been able to help out many friends and family because moving has been happening left and right.  The housing market has been perfect for selling and buying due to interest rates being the way they are.  So many people have decided to pack up their boxes and change locations.  What I found was that some of the normal ways we move are simply not good and can end up hurting people. You would not believe the injuries and broken Items that I saw.  It was pretty wild to see all the issues and I want to give the knowledge to help. 

We all know we can get free boxes at big box stores.  This is stamped into our genetics in the midwest.  Or you start asking your family for their old boxes when they moved.  Usually, we find enough to move and don't have to spend a dime on it.  What people don't realize is that by not spending money on boxes they are costing themselves the risk of injury and also the cost of broken items.  Now, this is not always true, but usually, the older the box is what we end up getting.

I got hurt this year and it was because of a darned box. This was because the box I picked upheld.  It was very flimsy and thin.  The box I picked up ended up having some heavy items in it.  The weight shifted and the box started to flex like it was made of rubber.  This caused my weight to shift in a strange way and for my back to be pulled.  Now if this was a once and done sort of thing I would say it was a fluke. But I saw it happen again on the next move.  I also saw the box drop and thousands of dollars of plates get destroyed. Now I knew it was the box and I knew I had to do something about it.

Well, the answer is pretty darn simple.  Go and get new boxes.  I landed on a packaging supplies store and found out all about boxes.  There are thick, thin, heavy, and lightboxes.  This company made them for lots of big manufacturers and shipping companies.  So I called them up and found out that they also made moving packages.  The packaging supplies store moving packages were about 25 to 30 bucks and they came with heavy-duty moving boxes.  They also came with heavy-duty tape and markers.  I know it sounds silly.  This was really a huge help to me and my life.

You better believe I picked them up for the next move.  My bro in law was a bit shocked, but we had the easiest move of all time and they were more organized.  Instantly I knew I was on to something and decided to do this for each move.  Most people think I am a bit crazy, but they really do enjoy the outcome and to me, that brings joy to my life.
