pack like a pro

Moving is a very per sonal thing and peo ple who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service.

Take packing, for example. Some clients want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turnkey solution where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each approach, so it is important to choose what’s best for you.

the professional packer

Most who choose to pack them selves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from Point A to Point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing.

The most critical element in pack ing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during tran sit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to your new home or business. Acces sories such as lamps may seem to be packed well, but may shift inside the carton and break or chip as a result.

Professional packers have the experience to know exactly what is best for various categories of items, depending on the size and distance of the move, and they pack accord ingly. They can also provide excellent ad vice on how to mark your boxes for ease of unpacking, and on the items to pack last and unpack first.

Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unex pected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced.

the DIY packer

At Two Men and A Truck, trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking as re quired, and we sell a full range of packing supplies. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a success ful move. There are also significant considerations to keep in mind, such as not packing explosive or

flammable items in the general boxes.

Although you can obtain boxes from places like grocery stores, check with your mover, who may sell proper packing materials that will save you work and worry.

Some of the items you will need are tape dispensers, newsprint, markers, pads and bub ble wrap – and there are many sizes and strengths of boxes available. There is a 1.5 cubic-foot box that is often referred to as a book or record box. It’s fairly small and is designed to hold small, heavy items like food jars or cans, flatware, CDs, etc. The next size up is a lamp or lampshade box, which is 3 cubic feet in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and 6 cubic feet for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals.

These are just some of the mov ing materials that are available to day. Whether you choose to pack your own items or have your mover do it, be sure you choose a company with a solid track record for providing topnotch service. Visit www.twomen.ca. ■

mood-boosting comfort foods may lower stress during challenging times

Thepandemic continues to cause uncertainty and up heaval in our everyday life, taking a toll on our rou tines, relationships and physical and mental health.

Many of us have been turning to food for comfort, with sales of staples like meat, flour and eggs spiking in recent months.

It could be due to biological drive. New research, published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutri tion, found meat plays an important role in our mental health. The study found clear evidence that those who avoid eating meat tended to have higher rates or risk of depression and anxiety compared to those who include meat in their diet.

Celebratory foods like ribs, ba con and steak can even help lift our spirits and mark special occasions –even if you’re just rejoicing that it’s summertime.

Perfect for a backyard barbecue, this delicious pork chop recipe is a great way to toast the warm weather with family or friends, even if at a distance. ■

maximize your small space

Unless you’re living in a seven-bedroom mansion, chances are you’re like most Canadians: trying to make the most of your small living space. From studio apartments to threebedroom family homes, most of us are craving more space, par ticularly when home is also the office.

Maximizing your small space to include an office is not an in surmountable challenge. With

the right tools and a little planning, you can bring the benefits of a much larger space to wherever you work.

invest in an ergonomic chair

Considering this is where you’ll be sitting for eight hours a day, investing in the right chair is cru cial. Find something with various controls so you’re at a comfortable height, with feet flat on the floor and elbows and wrists straight when typing.

get a desk that works

Though you may love the look of something larger, chances are you can make do with a compact desk. Measure your workstation and see what makes sense, taking into ac count the space you want versus what you actually need. Pro tip: an adjustable standing desk can give you the option to stretch your legs throughout the day.

clear the clutter

Extra pens and pencils, papers, folders, and empty coffee mugs and dishes…when you’re working in a small space, every item takes up room both physically and mentally. Combine regular work breaks with bringing dishes to the kitchen and store loose items in a box or drawer.

put two screens in one

Multiple screens were great at the office, but at home, it’s rare to

have the space for extra monitors. The LG UltraWide monitor has a single stand and curved screen which can show multiple windows at once, making it easier for you to multitask at work.

make use of sleek backgrounds

By now, we’ve all seen the hi larious (and not-so-hilarious) backgrounds available for virtual calls. While they can be enter taining, they also serve a helpful purpose: hiding your unmade bed, scattered kid toys and dirty dishes.

Using your space wisely will contribute to a more relaxing and productive work environment, so that at the end of the day you can reconnect with family, friends or your adorable pup.

sustainable laundry: help the planet while saving your clothes

When it comes to making eco-friend ly lifestyle choices for your home, the laundry room is often overlooked. Fortunately, reducing the impact of washing and drying clothes not

only contributes to a greener home, it can also save money and make clothes last longer.

While appliances play a key role in sustainability, other small changes to your laundry routine can go a long way in helping your

environmental footprint and pro longing the life of your favourite clothing. Try to wash in cold water, dry clothes on a lower heat setting and use environmentally friendly laundry detergent or make your own. And be sure to follow the di

rections on your clothing labels – a recent survey found that 66 per cent of Canadians do so to preserve their clothes.

If you're looking to upgrade your washer and dryer with clothes pres ervation and energy water savings in mind, look for a laundry pair that has intuitive and convenient fea tures that take the guesswork out of laundry. The new LG AI Front Load laundry pair is built with all that

and more! It has been built with AI technology that takes the guesswork out of laundry with user-friendly features that make it easier to do this often-tedious chore.

The laundry pair uses AI to de tect, sense and optimize wash settings for top fabric protection. This innovative feature senses the load’s weight to automatically se lect the proper wash cycle, while adding the exact amount of liquid

detergent and fabric softener that is needed at optimal times during the wash cycle for improved results and clothes that last longer.

When upgrading your laundry machine, always look for the En ergy Star seal, which indicates the product is certified to help save energy, and a machine built with innovative technology, which will help reduce your environmental footprint, right from home.

how to maintain our apartment buildings

Maintaining apartment buildings is important for tenant safety and well-being. Rentalhousing providers have an obligation to their residents to make sure that they are living in quality units that feel safe and comfortable.

Maintaining an apartment building may seem straight forward and easy, but it takes a lot of planning, financial support and dedication from owners, managers, and on-site staff alike to ensure that their tenants live in quality homes. However, maintaining an apartment building is a communitywide responsibility. While rentalhousing providers are seen to have the biggest responsibility when it comes to maintaining an apartment building, the tenants also have a responsibility of supporting that maintenance by cooperating with management to ensure that buildings stay in a good state and repairs are conducted in a timely manner. Our buildings are homes to all of us, and we need to work together to keep them in good condition.

According to the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), both the rentalhousing providers and the tenants have an obligation to maintain and repair the rental property. It is important to note that these obligations are true for any and all rental agreements.

rental-housing provider responsibilities

The rental-housing provider has responsibilities that include repairing and maintaining the property and meeting property standards. The provider should always keep the building in good condition. Electrical, plumbing and heating systems should be always functioning, as should appliances, windows, doors, locks, lighting, garages, laundry rooms and other amenities offered. Walls, roofs, ceilings, carpets and walkways should be repaired as needed as well to withstand the test of time. In the case that something stops functioning due to wear and tear, the onus is on the provider to replace it.

Additionally, the rental-housing provider needs to keep the property clean, which ranges from making sure common areas are tidy and clean to taking care of any pest issues. Property standards are outlined in municipal bylaws and provincial maintenance standards.

Rental-housing providers should also make sure that their building follows fire safety laws as outlined by local fire departments.

Finally, the provider should also maintain and not interfere with vital services, which include hot/ cold water, fuel, electricity, gas and heat (during specific months).

The provider needs to make sure that they are always supplying these services regardless of specific situations such as overdue rent.

tenant responsibilities

The tenant should keep their rental unit clean. As long as the state of the unit does not have an effect on other tenants, the cleanliness of their unit is generally left to their own judgement.

In case of damages that are not due to normal wear and tear, but due to damage by the tenant or their guests, the tenant will be required to pay for the repair or take care of it themselves.

The maintenance of the apartment building relies on the strong relationship between the rentalhousing provider and the tenant. It is great communication between the two parties that ensures the maintenance of the building. If there is a problem, the first thing a tenant should do is notify their rental-housing provider to help solve the issue. And rental-housing providers should do the same thing. If the tenant is not keeping up with standards, the rental-housing provider should ask the tenant to make changes as necessary to fix the problem.

For more information on how to maintain your apartment building whether you are a tenant or a rentalhousing provider, visit the Tribunals Ontario website. ■
