Ideally, you would move during the day, when light is ample and the weather is warmer. However, the ideal isn’t always reality. If you have to work during the days or if you can’t get an afternoon open for one reason or another, a night time move might be your only option.
If you have to move at night, take the necessary precautions to ensure that you don’t hurt yourself or damage any of your possessions.
1. Turn on the lights – all lights in any room should be turned on. This will help brighten other area without lights.
2. Use floodlights – buy a floodlight or two and using it to brighten dark areas, like the space between your front door and driveway.
3. Take it slow – don’t rush and step deliberately, especially if it’s cold out, as there might be ice on the ground that you can’t see in the dark.
