2 Weeks Before Your Move

14 days until your big move.  You’re getting close. You’ve employed your packing techniques. You can see the finish line. With the boxes squared away, you’ll have a lot more space to begin cleaning. It’s also time to finalize your services. Schedule utilities.  At this point, you’ll need to set a transfer or cancellation date for your utilities. Electric, water, and gas, as well as entertainment and convenience services (e.g., cable and telephone), should be on your to-do list. Confirm contracted moving services.  Call to confirm not only the date of your moving service, but the plan for the day.

They're also some of the most eye-catching. They come in a wide variety of colors, including fire-engine red and apple green, as well as earthy browns, blacks, and creams, with sparkles and veining for the look of granite or marble. But unlike natural-stone slabs, which are mined, these slabs are engineered in a factory. Their primary ingredient is ground quartz (about 94 percent), combined with polyester resins to bind it and pigments to give it color. For some designs, small amounts of recycled glass or metallic flecks are added to the mix. The resins also help make these counters stain and scratch resistant—and nonporous, so they never need to be sealed. Compare that with granite, the reigning king of high-end countertops, which typically requires a n...
