Look at the very skeleton of your home. Is it sturdy enough to withstand hours of travel time? If yes, then no problem. If not, conduct the necessary repairs. Gear it up to last the many years to come.

2. Remove movable items.

Keep in mind the length of the travel time. Better know how long it will take because some materials may be destroyed through lengthy exposure. An example of which is wood. To prevent any devastation, use appropriate wrappers and other preservation methods.
