We are soooo close to completion. Hoping for Friday, if not next week; it's been a long slog getting here.
What are everyone's completion day tips? We are DIYing our move so pick the van up the day before. We are moving out of current house into new house on the same day. First time buyer so really anxious yet excited.

Well my number one tip would have been to not do it yourself and use packers!
But do not underestimate the amount of stuff you have. Pack everything up now, except those last few essentials. Label boxes carefully, not just with rooms but what's I'm them. Do not think bigger and fewer - boxes get very heavy fast. Get it all done by the day before so alm you are doing on the day is literally loading up the van. Can you get it all in one hit? Get a couple friends on standby in case you can't so you can load up their cars. One of you can be cleaning each room as you empty it, then shut the door so you know it's done.
Last tip - set up your mail redirection now!!
