I lived in my last house in CA for 13 years.....It took me a month to pack....and I still didn't get it all done..... Each piece of Art had to be indivdually wrapped in cushioned wrapping paper and boxed ....about 100 pieces in all, dishes each one wrapped indivdually, each piece of Art Glass wrapped indivdually...books in boxes...etc....
Finally after the move...I thought what a shame to unpack it all after so much work went into packing it all up...
Anyway events caught up with me...I wound up in a Law Suit 2 weeks after moving here...so for 1 1/2 years I didn't know whether the Builder would buy me out or pay to have the house repaired...So I never unpacked much in this house nor did I improve it to make it a TRUE home...it is still mostly all in boxes...and the furniture has bedsheets over them to help keep the dust off...even after the settlement and repair work is nearly completed..
Go to the Grocery Stores nearby and ask them for Apple Boxes, Banana Boxes, Lettuce Boxes....then buy Clean newsprint at your local moving co as well as various large boxes...Mirror, Dish Pack Boxes and Wardrobe boxes....
