First-time homeowner here and move-in day is coming fast. I feel like there’s gotta be some stuff you don’t think about until it’s too late — like tools, cleaning gear, or setup tasks. Would love any advice or resources to help avoid the classic “why didn’t we plan for this?” disasters.

This is super helpful, seriously — thank you! I’ve been looking around for something just like this but kept finding super basic tips that didn’t really go beyond “don’t forget tape.” Just checked out the checklist you mentioned and it’s way more detailed than I expected. I’m saving it right now and planning to run through it this weekend. Appreciate the recommendation — this makes me feel so much more prepared!
You’re asking the right question — move-in day always sounds exciting until you realize you forgot toilet paper, or you can’t find your phone charger 😬 I’ve moved a few times now, and honestly, every time I think I’ve got it all handled, something slips through the cracks. The best tip I can give you is to check out a solid checklist for moving into a new house. I found this one recently and it’s so much more detailed than the generic lists you usually find online. It covers stuff like what to do before moving day (like setting up internet or deep cleaning), and little things you’ll want on hand immediately — tools, first-aid kit, snacks, etc. It made a huge difference in keeping things smooth and stress-free. Definitely worth checking out before the chaos begins.
