Moving Tip # 21 -
Create a Moving File for Your Move * When moving your home or business, create a "moving file" to keep track of moving company estimates, receipts and other important documents, such as home sale papers or escrow paperwork. Don't use an pendaflex or open manila folder. Things can fall out and get lost. Instead, use a large manila type envelope or something larger like an accordian style file folder.
