AVOID A MOVING DAY DISASTER THIS SUMMER

Story Summary

THIS IS A MULTIVU SPECIAL REPORT BROUGHT TO YOU BY AMERICA'S LEADING CABLE COMPANIES.

IF YOU'RE PLANNING A MOVE THIS SUMMER YOU'RE NOT ALONE - NEARLY TWENTY PERCENT OF AMERICANS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THIS YEAR WITH HALF OF THOSE MOVES TAKING PLACE BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY AND LABOR DAY.

AND WITH AN AVERAGE OF 60 TASKS TO DO TO PREPARE FOR A MOVE, IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT IMPORTANT DECISIONS SOMETIMES SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS.

HGTV DESIGNER AND EXPERT COMMENTATOR LISA LAPORTA, OFFERS ADVICE:

"PLAN AHEAD AND PUT TECHNOLOGY TO WORK FOR YOU. GET YOUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES CONNECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND USE THESE SERVICES TO FACILITATE EVERYTHING ELSE YOU DO - PLAN ROOM DESIGNS ONLINE, ENTERTAIN THE KIDS WHILE YOU UNPACK BOXES, OR SHOP FOR NEW FURNITURE. I LIKE WWW.CABLEMOVER.COM FOR TRANSFERING YOUR TV, PHONE AND INTERNET FROM YOUR CURRENT CABLE COMPANY TO THE ONE THAT SERVICES YOUR NEW ADDRESS. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR MOVE IS ACROSS TOWN OR ACROSS THE COUNTRY."
