Of the four aniillion
Canadians who Statistics
Canada reports move their
households each year, 75.per
cent choose do- it- yourself
methods. They are opting
for the lower cost, personal
care they can give their
goods, and convenience of
leaving and arriving on the
dates they choose.

If you will soon count
yourself among the three
million do it yourselfers, you
should take note of several

innovations in the _ self-
moving industry.
Movers often need

temporary storage as they
search for a new home. Van
lines have long provided
storage service for their
customers, but self-movers
have not had a self-storage
option.

That has changed in
recent years as mini-
warehouses and other self-

storage facilities have sprung
up. They offer storage units
of various sizes at low
monthly rates. You provide
your own lock and key and,
of course, your own labor.

With the advent of moving
centres, the self-moving and
self-storage functions have
been combined for the first
time. Now, if you need
temporary storage, you Can
find it at the same centre
where you'll return the
rental truck or trailer after
your move is completed.

MOVING AIDS

If you're moving yourself
because you don't want to
entrust your prized
possessions to someone else,
you may be surprised by the

number and variety of
professional-type packing
and loading aids now
available.

You can rent hand trucks
with load-locking straps and

.

stair climbers to move your
heavy goods such as ap-
pliances and furniture. A
piano dolly may also be
rented if you want to move

_your own piano or other

cumbersome items.

To protect -your
possessions from being
marred during the move,
you can wrap them in
blanket-style furniture pads,
also available for rent at
most truck and trailer
outlets.

You'll also discover that
several different kinds of
boxes have been designed
for moving common but
hard-to-move _ possessions.
For cxample, you can
protect your crystal and
china -- or your everyday
glasses and dishes — by
packing them in super-
strength dish paks, available
with or without three-tier,
cell partitioning kits.

Wardrobe cartons include
a hanger bar to keep your

clothes from wrinkling
during the move. Book
cartons are ‘extra-strength
and the right size for casy
carrying. Of course, you can
buy regular utility cartons,
too, to pack your other
possessions.

TOW BARS AND
TRAILER HITCHES

Tow bars designed for
pulling a car behind a truck
have been available for
several years. Only recently,
however, has a tow bar been
designed that will also allow
car-to-car hook-up. Either
way, you'll have one less gas
tank to fill and one more
person to take a driving shift
during your move.

loading tips is available from

pany. Write Moving Guide,
