TO PACK – OR NOT:

DIY OR LEAVE IT TO THE PROS?

Moving is a very personal thing and people who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service. Take packing, for example. Some people want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turn-key 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 themselves 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 packing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to their new home or business. Accessories 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 accordingly. They can also provide excellent advice 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 unexpected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced.

Trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking as required. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a successful 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 bubble 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 three cubic feet in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and six cubic feet for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals. These are just some of the moving materials that are available today. 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 top-notch service.

THE BEST REASONS TO RENT

AFFORDABILITY

HASSLE-FREE LIVING

When you rent, you’ll never have to call a plumber, electrician or handyman again! Renting frees you from the cost and hassle of all home maintenance and repairs. Empty-nesters can happily shed house-related chores and move closer to entertainment, restaurants and shopping, while young professionals can enjoy a simpler lifestyle and shorter commute.

By renting, you’ll be able to afford to live in an area that might otherwise be out of your price range. And, unless you’re planning on staying in a house for more than five years, you risk losing money if you buy a home. Mortgages are amortized so you’re paying mostly interest in the first few years. Add in property tax, insurance, maintenance costs and the fees associated with selling the house and five years of renting can be significantly less than owning.

THE REWARDS OF RENTING

Renting gives you the freedom to invest your savings in stocks, mutual funds, a small business,

your education, or a vacation, instead of a home.

LOCK IN UTILITY COSTS

In most cases, you will not have to incur bills when you rent. In many apartments the cost of utilities are included in your rent. Because of fluctuating market prices, utility rates can rise dramatically. As a renter, you will not have to bear these cost increases directly.

OSBORNE VILLAGE

LIVE CLOSE TO EVERYTHING

Located right next to downtown Winnipeg, running south to Fort Rouge, Osborne Village is a densely populated, well-traversed, artsy area of the city. With Wellington Crescent on one side and the Donald Street Bridge on the other, the urban residents are highly mobile, street savvy and aware of their surroundings.

The Village hosts fantastic funky shops, trendy nightclubs and unique restaurants known only on Osborne Street. If you’re looking for karaoke, you’re looking for Osborne. Osborne Village has an annual Canada Day Street Festival that features First Nations drumming, bands, an open market and street hockey.

Young, well-dressed business professionals enjoy their Starbucks in the sun next to street musicians and history students. On Osborne, trendy locals shift comfortably between quaint classic culture and dark court jesters. It’s an energizing mix to be in the midst of it. There is a marked difference between day traffic and

night walkers though. During the day, dads with strollers and cyclists swarm the streets. After business hours, groups of friends get together for food and wine or try performance art alone. Curiosity seekers are abundant and so are the amenities. The Village dances with lights riding the river. Many new families call the Village home as well as some older tenants who enjoy their view from the highrise apartments, but most residents are typically young, single and working in the area. The most common age group is mid- to late20s, but there are urban professionals well above that who form a key demographic for services in the area. Families with children are typically affluent and educated with one or two children, sometimes living with other family units or singles in a grand three-storey house.

The face of the Village is young, metro and stunningly stylish. In this neighbourhood, public transit is the most frequent form of transportation down Osborne Street, after vehicle traffic. There are at least eight bus routes and the Rapid Transit station is located nearby. Parking is tight so people often walk, bike or bus in order to save a little bit of cash.

Osborne Village has more than 500 buildings – one-third is residential use. There are elementary schools and one middle school. The Village is close to the Misericordia Hospital and famous Firehall Station No. 4 sits on Stradbrook. The River Osborne Community Centre is further south at Confusion Corner.

Osborne Village is desirable and considered one of the best communities in the city. It is very vibrant and diverse with a thriving business and entertainment culture. People on the street both make and take away from the value of the Village.
