PACKING

There are many packing styles. Here are two of them:




First method is to gather together like items, usually from the same room, carefully wrap them and place in the cardboard or plastic boxes according to function, size or fragility. The boxes are then marked (on all sides) with a number which is cross referenced to a computer spreadsheet which itemises all the contents of the box. The box is also marked with a large asterisk which apparently means that the contents are fragile. The box may also be marked with a circle with a dot in it which apparently means that the contents of the box will not be required immediately at the new house!





The second method involves grabbing anything and everything within reach and stuffing into a carton which is taped and stacked for removal.


I have one method and The Old Girl has the other. I wonder which will prove to be the best at the other end?

My two penny's worth on packing is to be nice to the wife while she individually rapping every item; then go like hell stuffing things into any box available in the last week when she's not around.
