Moving Tip: 9 of 12

***Tip 9*** 

Disassembling headache: RELIEF! 

BEFORE you take apart the furniture, take pictures of it from several angles so that you can remember what it looks like. Write down how many pieces go to it – 7 boards, write down the sizes of the boards, write down the order that you take it apart in, so that you know how to put it back together. If you have not moved in a while and have had that entertainment center for what seems like FOREVER, then you may not remember how you got it together in the first place. When you take apart the furniture any screws, nails, pieces that come from the furniture put it in a zip lock bad, label it with permanent marker and tape like crazy. (This will ensure that there will be no holes in the bag as they are easy to rip). You will also want to place them in a box that will be in the front of the truck with you or you can tape it to the furniture that it goes to. Be sure to use masking tape on the unfinished side, to make sure that the tape will hurt the paint (although I have not had this problem, I want to air on the side of caution).
