I'm writing a plan for a solarpunk social revolution
I think at this point we all have an understanding that things in the world aren't good. That's useful information, but that's also only step one.
Next, is broadly to figure out, "what the heck do we do?"
I've been doing a lot of listening and reading about that, and I'm trying to formulate my thoughts, to create a guide of sorts. I'm gonna sketch out my framing for it, with the areas of focus and basic tenants. This is going to be an iterative process, so let me know what you think about this! If u have the stuff to add or change, I'm cool with that!
Basic Needs (Pillars for Life)
These are the things that people deserve to be provided in order to live a comfortable life. The brave new world should be able to provide these things.
Shelter: A safe and secure place to live is essential for a comfortable life. This could be a house, apartment, or another type of dwelling.
Food and water: Adequate nutrition and hydration are essential for maintaining good health and well-being.
Clothing and personal items: Clothing and personal items such as toiletries help people feel clean and presentable, and can also provide protection from the elements.
Health care: Access to quality health care is important for maintaining physical and mental well-being
Transportation: Having access to reliable transportation can make it easier to get to work, run errands, and participate in activities.
Communication: Being able to communicate with others, whether through phone, email, or other means, can help people stay connected and feel less isolated.
Education: Access to education can help people gain knowledge, skills, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Technology, electricity, and internet access: Access to technology and the internet can facilitate communication, education, and access to information and resources.
Art, Media, Entertainment, and Play: People often need activities or hobbies that provide enjoyment and help them relax and de-stress.
Social connections: Strong social connections and a sense of community can provide support, companionship, and a sense of belonging.
Financial stability: Having access to sufficient financial resources can help people meet their basic needs and feel more secure.
Personal safety and Defense: Feeling safe and secure in one's environment is essential for a comfortable life.
Levels/Spheres of Liberation
These are the levels at which liberation needs to occur. There's an interplay between each level: for example, you have to a reach certain standard of self-love before you can make meaningful connections with others. The more connected with yourself you are, the more connected with others you can be.
Internalized Liberation: Internalized Liberation is a state of radical self-love.
Interpersonal Liberation: Interpersonal Liberation is a state in which love is fully and freely given to all others. 
Institutional Liberation: Institutional Liberation is a state of radical inclusion, where all organizations see equity as their responsibility and use an equitable process framework in perpetuity.
Systemic Liberation: Systemic Liberation is a state in which we have reconfigured societal relationships to resources to allow for ingenuity and social protections to coexist, creating the interconnected circumstances under which all people have the resources, access, and opportunity to thrive.
Environmental Liberation: Environmental Liberation is a state of harmony with the environment. Reconnecting with nature and understanding our place in it.
Ideological Liberation: Ideological Liberation is a state in which we have fully transcended and have no need for social constructs such as race; a reality where we are unbound by identity defined in contrast to others; individuals are unconflicted and feel a full and authentic sense of belonging in all spaces.
Guiding Principles
These guiding principles are the values which underpin the revolution; these are the unarguable, foundational ideas that make up the basic requirements for the movement.
Grassroots/Direct democracy: people should manage their own affairs. If something only affects you, then you do what you want. Things that affect others should involve them in the process. The goal is to find the balance between individual and collective autonomy, where the combination of each is greater than the sum of its parts.
Social Ecology: Our foundational understanding of nature is based on hegemonic values that separate us from it. This thinking coincided with the domination of people by other people around the beginning of civilization. By trying to reconnect with nature and see ourselves as part of it, while also upholding the values of liberty, solidarity, and equality, we can work towards mending our environmental and social relations.
Decentralization: civilization is an extremely complex system, and the most successful complex systems balance order and chaos thru decentralized forms. Highly centralized systems like the prevailing ones simplify things and standardize things to make them easier to manage. Having unique communities that federate based on need and shared projects leads to more resilient, creative, and emergent societies.
Anti-hierarchy, domination, and coercion: revolutions have to be led by the people, for the people. Forcing a mode of operation onto others is a non-starter. Freedom with subjugation is no freedom at all.
Liberty: people should be free to live how they want, so long as those desires don’t harm others. Matters should be decided with a maximal preference for that balance.
Free Association: all relations should be voluntary. No one should have the power to force a relationship, whether it’s for work, play, or community.
Solidarity Economies: programs, organizations, and projects that prioritize the well-being of the community over other concerns.
Diversity as Power: intersectional understanding of different identities people hold and how that informs their experiences being alive. Along with this, a recognition that the diversity of experiences heightens the chance for emergent solutions to problems.
Levels of Organization
Organizing at different scales.
Affinity Groups: a small group that’s tightly knit and focused on very specific alignment. Similar thoughts on issues, and similar interests in projects and actions.
Communes/Neighborhood Pods: connecting with people in your geographical vicinity, uniting on shared issues to be solved, moreso than shared ideology.
Organizations (platform orgs, ideological orgs, social orgs): Groups trying to change the world for the better. There would be platform orgs that contribute to ideological orgs and social orgs to provide cohesion between different projects and strengthen community resilience through federation within the community and its disparate projects.
Prisons: writing letters to prisoners and creating specific programs to abolish the modern-day slave complex that is the prison system.
Schools and Educational Bodies: creating revolutionary unions for students, staff, and faculty, and making efforts to gain direct democratic control of education.
Workplaces (Unions and Cooperatives): starting revolutionary syndicates for traditional workplaces, and starting directly democratic, horizontally run businesses.
Cities/Counties: tying all of the above things together through assemblies to have citizens directly decide on things that affect the whole city/county geographical area.
Regions: tying multiple cities/counties together, making decisions on projects that affect the region (big infrastructure and the like). This will still be directly democratic. The people who are affected by the decision will be the ones to come to the decision.
"Nations": tying multiple regions together to make very large decisions that affect the whole landmass.
Those're pretty much the areas that I'm thinking about. Am I missing anything?

Okay, I’m posting this here because it keeps getting taken down on insta and I’m done. This is supposed to be a fandom page where I post things I love and don’t stress about other things but I have to say this somewhere.
We have to stop wasting our social and emotional energy on trying to get companies to stop greenhouse emissions. It isn’t going to do enough, I want to be hopeful but we have to be realistic. We can still keep those kinds of things in mind, ride public transportation, e-bikes, compost etc… Our focus needs to shift to coping with climate change now. We have to start putting in place measures that will give us a safety net as things get worse.
We have to start thinking about coastal cities now, how to get people out when it starts to flood. NYC, DC, Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Cape Town, Rio de Jenaro, Mumbai, Venice, all of them will become unlivable and climate refugees need to go somewhere.
Places that will be safe need to prepare for large swaths of refugees, that means lots of housing complexes, and less single family homes. Strong communities will be essential, pick a place and stay there as long as you can. The goal has be to build up individual communities as much as you can, that is where you can do the most good. Do what you can to reduce poverty and homelessness. Tear down hostile architecture, make sure people know they are loved and wanted.
We need to localize as the global systems collapse, that means large local farms, people getting back into trades, small maintainable power grids, and making our cities walkable and transitioning to electric bikes instead of cars. We may be able to power large cities with nuclear, but we have to work on making it safer, preferably with thorium than uranium.
We need to find ways to create medicines without large mechanical systems, as well as creating disability aids. We can not rely on massed produced items. We need to start learning practical skills and get back into traditional trades.
We have to go back to paper instead of digital. All of the digital archives will be lost when we can no longer support global internet. All records of births, deaths, family trees, literature, cultural histories, all of it needs to be protected so it isn’t destroyed.
Indigenous people come first and foremost as they will be our guiding lights. They shouldn’t have to be, but they have the knowledge of survival and reciprocity on the local lands.
We have to get rid of the damns and restore those areas. They cause far too many floods as they deteriorate and the space that will gained makes for more livable land. Areas like Las Vegas can’t exist anymore; it takes too much water to keep them running and it isn’t sustainable in the long run.
We have to change our food system, meat animals currently take up too much space and resources as well as monoculture. Animals need to be raised locally, at the bear minimum, while keeping cultural foods around is important, nutrition has to come first. We need a three sisters type of approach to local farming, cultivating things that grow intertwined and benefit from each other and we need to do it regionally.
Food waste en mass is unacceptable - not finishing a meal because you are full is fine - supermarkets will eventually become obsolete but in the mean time we have to use things until the very end, until it it fully expired. No tossing out day old bread, fresh produce, anything that can be eaten.
I know this isn’t everything, policing, government, water treatment, the way we build, money, education, protecting cultural practices and artifacts, population centers, there are so many things I could go into but I’m not going to write a full essay on tumblr. The point of this is even though we can’t stop global warming, we have so much else to do. I am still alive today because this is my mission. I have lived my life with respect and compassion in everything I do, my goal of reducing suffering is how I make my personal and political decisions. I am doing all can to make the world a little better every day, and taking care of myself.
We either transition slowly now, or all at once later, and the latter involves a lot of suffering and death. In the meantime, speak out against genocide, turn your anger into action, find joy, and know your power.
(It’s really hard for me to cite my sources on this one because how do I cite my whole last semester of university, I’ll ask my prof and see if she has any ideas)

Hiding an electric box and a storage cabinet can be achieved in various creative ways, depending on your specific situation and preferences.
Here are some ideas: Electric Box:
1; Wall Art;
Use decorative wall art or decals to cover the electric box. Ensure that they can be easily removed for maintenance.
2; Furniture Placement:
Strategically place furniture like a tall bookshelf, a decorative screen, or a console table in front of the electric box to conceal it.
3; Hinged Artwork or Mirror:
Install a hinged artwork or mirror that can be swung open to access the electric box when needed.
4; Cabinet or Shutter Cover:
Install a small cabinet or shutter with hinges that can be opened when access to the electric box is required.
5; Floating Shelves:
Install floating shelves that can be arranged around the electric box, incorporating it into a display of books, plants, or decorative items. Covering an electric panel with a cabinet can be done, but it's important to ensure that you maintain safe and easy access to the panel for maintenance and emergencies.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how you might accomplish this:
1; Materials and Tools Needed:
Cabinet:
Choose a cabinet that fits the dimensions of the electric panel and complements your room's decor.
2; Safety Considerations:
Ensure the cabinet doesn't obstruct the electric panel's visibility and accessibility.The cabinet doors should open easily to allow quick access to the panel.
Do not permanently attach the cabinet to the wall or panel; it should be easily removable.

9 Step Puppy Care Guide
Tumblr media
1) Puppy-proof your home
Anyone who has welcomed a new baby or toddler into their home knows that there are certain everyday items which need to be removed and kept out of reach for the safety and care of the youngster. Like babies and small children, puppies are naturally curious, and will explore their new territory and its contents. This could mean getting themselves into potentially dangerous situations!
To create a safe space, start by designating or fencing off one part of the home, which will become your puppy’s new territory for their first few months. Then make sure the following items are out of reach from your new puppy:
Electrical items and cords
Chemicals and toxins
Plants
Rugs
Breakables
Valuables
Trash
Additionally be sure to sweep or vacuum the area frequently to remove any small hazards, and keep the area clean and tidy so your puppy can safely enjoy his new environment.
Tumblr media
2) Get the necessary puppy supplies
Next, be sure to stock up on the most important puppy care supplies. These include:
ID tags
Collar & leash
Food & bowls
Sleeping crate
Toys
Try to provide toys and other entertainment that your puppy is familiar with, both to help to keep him occupied and to help him feel more at home. A range of things to play with will make him feel cared-for, comfortable and happy about the new environment.
Tumblr media
3) Plan your puppy’s diet & exercise
Another essential puppy care tip is to consider the best food choice. We recommend a nutrient-dense dog food which is suitable for growing puppies. Ensure that your pup will get all the nutrients he needs and enjoys eating the food, too. You can choose from a wide range of choices, including premium, natural, and raw dog foods.
Your new puppy will have a lot of energy, and you can help him to use it in a productive way.
However do keep in mind, that puppies need much less exercise than adult dogs.
Let your puppy play, walk, run, and explore outdoors in a confined and safe area at least one time per day. You can use the puppy’s age (in months) times 5 minutes per month to determine how much play time he should have per day. For example, if your puppy is 6 months, the recommended play time is 30 minutes a day.
Tumblr media
4) Set up proper sleeping arrangements
When deciding where your puppy will sleep, we recommend to do the following:
Ensure you have a designated space for the puppy to sleep, including a dog bed or crate
Place the bed in an area where other people are nearby, so your puppy won’t be lonely
Do not let the new puppy sleep in your bed with you, as this can create an unwanted sleeping arrangement in the long term
Most importantly, try to be consistent in enforcing the sleeping policy, so that everyone can get a good night’s sleep, including your growing puppy.
Tumblr media
5) Potty-train your puppy
Puppies need to urinate frequently, so you will need to anticipate their needs and give them an opportunity to relieve themselves at least every two hours.
Similarly, you can usually tell when a puppy ‘wants to go’ because he or she will look around anxiously, walk in circles and start sniffing in suitable corners looking for a place.
And that’s your cue to take your pet outside. If you don’t want your pup pooping all over the yard as an adult, pick one area and take him directly there when it’s potty time.
Tumblr media
6) Train for good behavior
Take care to start training your new puppy right away. At their young age, they need to learn the rules and will be able to grasp them quickly with good and consistent effort. Don’t let your new family member get away with anything just because he is a tiny, cute, little puppy.
By teaching your puppy good manners, you’ll set your puppy up for a life of positive social interaction.
In addition, obedience training will help forge a stronger bond between you and your puppy. Teaching your pup to obey commands such as sit, stay, down, and come will, additionally, help keep your pup safe and under control in any potentially dangerous situations.
Tumblr media
7) Take your puppy to the vet
Take your new puppy to the vet for a checkup as soon as possible. If there’s something wrong, the vet can catch it early and get it before it becomes a big problem. It also gives you a chance to talk with the vet about what it takes to raise a puppy; such as feeding, vaccinations, the financial aspect of owning a pet, and everything else you may need to know as a dog owner. Don’t be afraid to ask your vet every question that comes to your mind. When it comes to the life of your pet, you can’t ask too many questions.
Tumblr media
8) Provide supervision
Now that you’re getting used to life with your new puppy, be sure to supervise him at all times. This will help you to:
monitor his health
train him consistently
keep him out of harm’s way and
prevent him from getting into (or peeing on) your nice things
Constant supervision can also allow you to get to know your furry little friend better, so you will start to learn his personality, charms, and quirks. Take turns letting everyone in your household supervise the puppy and he’ll feel well-cared for.
Tumblr media
9) Ensure plenty of socialization
A new puppy needs lots of love and cuddling, rest and sleep, lots of good, nourishing food and then… more love! Moving to a new home, leaving his mom and litter-mates is a very difficult experience for a puppy. Therefore, try to make the move as easy as possible for him. Give him time with you and your family, and give him the feeling of being safe and secure in his new home.
During the early weeks and months, it is also a good idea to introduce your puppy to a variety of sights, sounds, people and experiences. Let him meet adults and children, the postman and other visitors, and let him approach them in his own time. A well-socialized puppy will be able to cope with all of the situations he’s likely to encounter in later life, rather than growing up shy or fearful.

Packing Like a Pro: Essentials for Your Study Abroad Experience
Tumblr media
Embarking on a study abroad journey is an exciting and enriching experience that opens doors to new cultures, perspectives, and adventures. Whether you're heading to a bustling city in Europe, a serene countryside in Asia, or a vibrant university town in Australia, packing smartly can make all the difference in how smoothly your time abroad goes. To help you prepare like a pro, let's delve into the essentials for your study abroad experience.
1. Research Your Destination
Before diving into packing, take some time to research your destination. Consider the climate, local customs, and any specific cultural norms that may impact your wardrobe and lifestyle. For instance, if you're going to a tropical region, lightweight and breathable clothing will be key, while a colder climate will require warm layers and waterproof gear.
2. Essential Documents
Ensure you have all necessary documents in order, including your passport, visa (if required), acceptance letter from your host institution, travel insurance, medical records, and any other important paperwork. Keep digital copies backed up online and carry physical copies in a secure travel document organizer.
3. Clothing Essentials
Pack versatile clothing items that can be mixed and matched for different occasions. Include comfortable walking shoes, a waterproof jacket or coat, layers for varying temperatures, formal attire for special events or presentations, and swimwear if you'll be near beaches or pools. Don't forget accessories like scarves, hats, and sunglasses.
4. Electronics and Adapters
Bring along essential electronics such as your laptop, smartphone, chargers, power banks, and any adapters or converters needed for the local electrical outlets. Consider investing in a portable hotspot or SIM card for reliable internet access, especially if you'll be working or studying remotely.
5. Medications and First Aid
Pack an ample supply of any prescription medications you require, along with a basic first aid kit containing bandages, pain relievers, antiseptic wipes, and any personal health items. Familiarize yourself with local healthcare options and emergency numbers in case you need medical assistance during your stay.
6. Travel Essentials
Include travel essentials like a sturdy backpack or carry-on luggage, travel-sized toiletries, a reusable water bottle, snacks for the journey, a travel pillow and blanket for long flights or train rides, and entertainment such as books, music, or podcasts.
7. Money and Banking
Plan your finances ahead by notifying your bank of your travel plans, obtaining local currency or a travel card for convenience, and keeping emergency cash in a safe place. Familiarize yourself with currency exchange rates and budgeting tips to manage your expenses effectively while abroad.
8. Cultural and Language Resources
Bring along language guides, dictionaries, or translation apps to help you navigate language barriers and communicate effectively with locals. Research cultural etiquette and customs to show respect and adapt to your new environment with ease.
9. Personal Comfort Items

Ultima Search Rodent Control: How They Work And Why You Need Them
Tumblr media
The presence of rodents carries serious health and economic implications. Some of the illnesses rodents carry can pose significant health risks. Rodent-borne diseases include rat bite fever, Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, and Lymphocytic choriomeningitis amongst others. These conditions can cause chronic symptoms, so home or property owners should do their best to keep rodents away from their property. These diseases can be spread to humans directly, through handling of rodents, through contact with rodent feces, urine, or saliva, or through rodent bites. Diseases carried by rodents can also be spread to humans indirectly, through ticks, mites or fleas that have fed on an infected rodent.
In addition to the diseases they carry, rodents also chew and contaminate food. Direct damage to a product requires immediate disposal, wasting food and other items. Prolonged rodent infestation can contaminate food, as rodent feces and urine can contain harmful, disease-causing microorganisms. There have been numerous instances where rodents have caused contamination of food products putting people and their health at risk.
Not only are rodents dangerous, but they can also cause significant financial losses as well. A rodent infestation can cause considerable and expensive property destruction and substantial food contamination, especially in restaurants and other businesses. Additionally, rodents love to gnaw and may also target a home or business’s electrical wires or foundation, which at best can damage your home, or at worst, raise the risk of health problems. These financial burdens, along with the serious health and safety risks rodents pose, mean home and property owners should have professionals swiftly handle a rat or mouse infestation.
For rodent control to work, you need to have a plan of attack. DIY rodent techniques don’t always work because they don’t address the problem at its source. Ultima Search inspectors can help identify what kind of rodent infestation you are dealing with and develop a comprehensive treatment and prevention plan.
Here Are Some Rodent Management Strategies That Usually Include A Mixture Of Tactics
Trapping
Our pest management technician may use different kinds of rodent traps. Depending on how serious an infestation is, they will recommend and install a variety of devices to eliminate the issue. Utilizing our experience and expertise, we can safely eliminate the issue using professional tools promptly. They will also be able to identify the best locations to install devices for optimum results.
Rodent Baiting
Baits are often made up of seeds, grains, peanut butter, fats and other foods mice find attractive. Bait stations can be placed in areas where rodent activity has been seen. By baiting rodents, they are less likely to be a nuisance in your home.
Sanitizing
Since rodents pose significant health risks, proper sanitation is essential when dealing with a rodent problem. To ensure the rodent infestation stays in control, any rodent waste must be removed or disinfected. The technician can help identify any rodent waste or remains, before removing materials and sanitizing the area.
Rodent-proofing
Rodents prefer to travel along paths and use rodent holes to access food and nesting places. These paths should be eliminated by sealing holes with rodent-proof caulk. We offer rodent exclusion services to seal entry points and rodent-proofing services to make a building less habitable for rodent pests.
Farewell, furry friends, may your whiskers guide you on your journey
There are certain steps you can take to try to prevent rodents. By thoroughly sanitizing and proofing your home, you can reduce your risk of developing a rodent infestation.

New Year, New Home: Essential Maintenance Tasks to Start 2024 Right!
The start of a new year is the perfect time to give your home some much-needed attention. As we dive into 2024, it's important to set the tone for a fresh start by taking care of essential home maintenance tasks. Using a home maintenance checklist for 2024 is the perfect way to kickstart your year. By being proactive and addressing these tasks ahead of time, you can ensure that your home is ready to face every season with ease. Your home is not just a place; it's a sanctuary, and starting the year with a well-maintained home sets the stage for a year of comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
Exterior Maintenance Tasks
As you create your own list of essential home tasks for the New Year, start with a review of your home’s exterior. A well-maintained exterior not only enhances your home's appearance but also ensures its durability.
Check your roof for signs of leaks and missing or damaged shingles. Review the overall condition of the roofing material. Addressing roof issues early can prevent more extensive and costly repairs down the road. 
Inspect the siding and exterior walls for cracks, holes, or signs of damage. Properly maintain and repair any issues to protect your home from the elements.
Clogged gutters may lead to water damage to your home's foundation and roof. Ensure proper drainage by cleaning out gutters and downspouts.
Seal any gaps and cracks around your home’s windows, doors, and foundation to prevent drafts and water infiltration. This can improve your home's energy efficiency and lower your bills. Be sure to trim overgrown trees and bushes and remove dead or damaged branches. Proper landscaping can prevent potential damage to your home during storms.
Interior Maintenance Duties
New Year home improvement tips are a dime a dozen. If you’re going to follow any advice in 2024, make it this: get your heating and cooling system inspected regularly! This includes checking the furnace or heat pump, cleaning vents, and changing air filters. A well-maintained heating system ensures comfort during the colder months.
While you’re at it, consider installing air purifiers or upgrading your HVAC system to improve indoor air quality. Clean indoor air contributes to better health and well-being. Make changing your air filters a resolution for a well-maintained home in 2024. A clogged or dirty filter can decrease airflow, strain your HVAC system, and lead to decreased efficiency. Replace filters regularly to maintain clean indoor air and extend the life of your HVAC equipment.
Don’t overlook your walls when planning interior maintenance chores. It’s important to inspect them for any cracks, holes, or peeling paint. Address any issues by patching and repainting. Fresh paint can give your home a vibrant and renewed look.
Electrical Safety Checks
Any quality 2024 home maintenance guide should mention electrical systems. Electricity works so flawlessly that we often forget to maintain these systems along with the rest of our house. Start by testing and replacing the batteries in your smoke detectors. Ensure that they are functioning correctly to protect your family from potential fire hazards.
Next, check for loose or damaged electrical outlets and switches. Replace any faulty ones and consider upgrading to tamper-resistant outlets for added safety, especially if you have children. If you have an older home, consider having the wiring inspected by a professional. Outdated wiring can be hazardous and may need to be replaced or upgraded. Finally, inspect your electrical panel. If there are signs of wear or overheating, consult an electrician to ensure the safety of your home's electrical system.
The Power of Decluttering
Starting the year right with home care includes taking an honest inventory of the items around your home. While maintenance duties might seem more pressing than taking boxes of old clothes to the thrift store, you might be surprised at how effective a little decluttering can be.
Decluttering is about more than creating physical space. It creates mental space, too. A cluttered home can lead to a cluttered mind. When you declutter, you free yourself from the burden of unnecessary belongings and create a sense of tranquility in your living space.
Decluttering can even lead to improved productivity. When your home is organized, you can find what you need more easily, and you're less likely to be distracted by the chaos of clutter. This can help you focus on your goals for the year ahead, whether they're related to work, personal growth, or simply enjoying life to the fullest.
Start 2024 Out on the Right Foot
Following our guide for key maintenance tasks for a fresh start in 2024 is a great way to begin your year. By tending to your home, you're setting the stage for a year of comfort, safety, and productivity. Make these tasks a priority, and you'll not only enhance the value of your home but also improve your quality of life. Here's to a successful and well-maintained 2024!

Must-Know Tips for Moving With Appliances
You’re moving to a new place with Packers and Movers Kolkata to Pune , and you need to take steps to protect your investments. Refrigerators, washing machines and dryers likely are some of the most expensive items you own, and they deserve special attention when you’re moving with major appliances.
Before you move these appliances, make sure to clean them thoroughly. You’ll also want to leave time to ensure they dry properly post-cleanse before they go on the moving truck.
Moving appliances
Besides cleaning and drying, there are tips specific to each appliance in your residence. Here’s a quick guide to moving with major appliances.
Dishwasher
Disconnect the hoses and drain them.
Leave the dishwasher door open for a few days prior to your move to facilitate drying.
Wrap the dry hoses in towels and packing paper and then place them inside the dishwasher for safety during the move.
Washing Machine
As with your dishwasher, disconnect the hoses and drain them.
Wrap the metal connector ends of hoses in a towel and place them inside the washer.
Secure the tub following the manufacturer’s guidelines to prevent damage.
If you don’t have the manufacturers guidelines, purchase a washer kit with instructions on how to secure the tub by tightening down the tub-using screws.
Movers may be able to arrange a third-party service provider for these tasks.
Upon arrival to your new home, have your washing machine installed by a qualified installer.
Clothes Dryer
Clean the lint screen.
Prior to plugging in your electric dryer at your new residence, make sure the power supply is proper for the appliance.
If you are moving a gas dryer, have a qualified technician disconnect it and cap off the gas line. Your moving crew isn’t qualified to perform this service.
Stove
Cleanliness is paramount!
Grease left on a stovetop will catch dust and dirt—and leave spots on anything it touches.
Detach all removable parts and pack them safely in a box.
If you are moving a gas range, have a qualified technician disconnect it and cap off the gas line (see above note about your moving personnel).
When arriving at your new residence with your gas range, you will need a qualified gas installer to check your gas supply, connect the gas line, seal any openings, light the pilot and handle any other hook-up requirements.
