label the pieces so it's easier to reassemble them.
Put hardware in bags and label them accordingly.

newsprint will smudge and mark your things).

moisture and make sure the boxes you pack are light enough
for you to carry.

bicycles and equipment. Make sure everything is clean and

clean and dry as well as all other types of appliances. Keep

inside to utilize your space.

A: Disconnect all cords and pack in the original boxes if
possible. Label all the cords and where they go to make
reassemble easier.

shape, otherwise fold them carefully and store them in
boxes. Keep seasonal clothing accessible, you may require
storage longer than you anticipate.
