Moved: Things to Do Once You Are Settled

The one thing that most often gets neglected after a move is the home. You are excited to be in a new place, your children in new schools. You have new neighbors, a new neighborhood, and the fact that everything is new distracts you from leaking faucets, squeaky floors, and gutters packed with leaves and pine needles. Below is a checklist of chores that are most common to the recently moved. Inspect your home with this list, and note all others, before you begin to ignore it and the problem worsens.

Home Inspection: Check off all of the problems on the home inspection.
Wood Floors:Check for squeaks and problems in your wood floors.
Plumbing: Check plumbing for drips, slow drains, odd noises.
Electrical: Note any light switches that don't go to anything and outlets that don't work.
Gutters: Check gutters to make sure they don't need any cleaning. Are they draining properly?
Grading: Check the grading. Does it need work?
Change the locks
Have the windows cleaned
Have the trees trimmed
Hire professionals for your lawn care
