- Try to get the hometeachers involved as much as possible
- Plan to have enough People and Pickups for the move
- A group prayer at the end of the move for the safety of the family during the move and for them doing well in their new location might be appropriate.
- Bring young men and get them involved.
- It is often very helpful if someone can watch the moving family's very young children off site.
- Get extra help for 2nd story moves or homes with an upstairs. Double Extra help for local move between two second story locations.
- Get extra help for trailer house moves. Hard to get in and out of them, narrow doors, narrow halls, often can't park close. Its often easiest to have a few people inside and several outside passing boxes and items at the trailer door.
- Learn how to properly tie down a load and large items. Teach one another this skill.
- Don't be afraid to show up for only part of the move. A little extra help at the front, middle, or end of a
move is often very appreciated.
- If you are in a seasonal moving area (University, etc), families moving out at the same time might
have a garage sale together or share a rental truck for "same day" local moves.
- We have a list of e-mail addresses of quorum members and use it to flash out a request for help when
an unexpected move in or move out takes place. We call a few people to make sure we can get a least
a couple bodies there, then flash the e-mail and hope for the best. It seems to work well in emergency
situations.
