Sometimes knowing what not to do can be the most valuable information a person, or in this case a business, can have in their toolbox. It’s like driving down a new road in the middle of the night and seeing a “Warning, Sharp Curve Ahead” sign. As you approach that curve, you are pretty grateful someone thought to put up a sign warning you to slow down.
When I packed out my first contents job 16 years ago, there were definitely some warning signs I wish someone had posted for me. Let me tell you it would have made the job a whole lot smoother. I managed to complete the job with few issues and my client was ecstatic in the end, giving me a raving testimonial. But the pack out itself was harder and way more stressful than it needed to be because I didn’t know what not to do. In the years since, I’ve gathered a solid list of pack out no-nos.
