All My Sons lends a helping hand
All My Sons Moving & Storage Lends a Helping Hand
Kirkland, WA ─ All My Sons Moving & Storage (AMS) is a service company, but it’s the individual attention and care given to each customer by every employee that sets this service company apart. Highly trained movers are genuinely thoughtful of every customer, and concerned about the possessions entrusted to him. The history of the family-owned company’s compassion, which dates back four generations, is evidenced by the sense of personal pride exhibited by every employee.
So it’s no surprise that, when asked to help a family from within its own community, All My Sons rose to the occasion. The ABC program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition selected a remarkable, Seattle area family that found themselves in despair when faced with losing their home, along with its only source of income. Connie Chapin is a single mother of three who uses the family’s swimming pool to produce income, calling her business “Angelfish.” An avid swimmer, Ms. Chapin teaches swimming and life-saving lessons to children, some with disabilities. She has taught more than two hundred children to swim at “Angelfish.”
Just as Angelfish Swimming’s numbers began to grow, Ms. Chapin received excruciating news. Her home was found to be in violation of many building codes. Although neighbors volunteered to work with her to make the necessary repairs, Ms. Chapin wasn’t able to handle all of them, and faced losing her home and her business.
All My Sons agreed to partner with Extreme Makeover. Although AMS was asked for minimal support, after surveying the home, the All My Sons company voluntarily contributed more in a heartbeat. AMS utilized two trucks and four movers to make the move to their storage facility. Even All My Sons office staff voluntarily went to the house to pitch in on packing, supervised by trained packers, right along with hundreds of neighborhood and community volunteers who helped with demolition and construction.
While the Chapin family enjoyed a complimentary vacation, courtesy of Extreme Makeover, at the Disney Vacation Club in Vero Beach, Florida, All My Sons provided professional packing services to pack everything in the house, from appliances to breakables, providing all packing materials. AMS also provided complimentary warehouse handling into storage, sixty days of free storage, and free warehouse handling out of storage, including two deliveries out of storage in Kent, Washington. All of the services, including moving, handling and storage of 21,000 pounds of goods, were valued at $13,000 and were donated by All My Sons.
All My Sons still continues to store half of the family’s belongings, which AMS will deliver with no charge to the family when it is ready.
“I’m just glad we were asked for help,” comments Kermit Escribano, of All My Sons. “It’s nice when you have access to exactly what someone needs to improve their quality of life. I think the work Home Makeover performs is outstanding, and I’m thrilled that All My Sons was able to help this deserving family. All My Sons is a company with a big heart, and we’re happy to serve our neighbors and communities.”
The scheduled air date for this episode is Sunday, December 16 on ABC.

Packing Tips Lesson #3
Packing Tips Lesson #3
Here is the final lesson on packing. Below I have provided you with little tips on packing the miscellaneous items such as lamps, plants, electronics and firearms:
Artificial Flowers
1) An arrangement of artificial flowers should be packed in its own carton.
2) Wrap the arrangement/flowers carefully in plastic wrap, tissue paper or paper towels.
3) Make sure you fasten the base of the floral arrangement to the bottom of the carton.
4) Do not forget to label the carton "FRAGILE" & "THIS SIDE UP."
Lamp Shades & Bases
1) Remove bulbs, harps and shades and set aside.
2) Make sure you handle lampshades by their wire frames only.
3) Carefully wrap each shade in three or four sheets of newsprint or tissue paper.
4) Shades can be nested inside each other, as long as they are separated by paper.
5) Use a sturdy box at least two inches larger all around than the largest shade.
6) Line your box with clean paper, using crushed paper under the lamp shade to create a protective layer, but not around the shade.
7) Wrap harp and finial (decorative knob) with packing paper and tape to the inside wall of the carton that contains the shade.
8) Label cartons "LAMP SHADES" & "FRAGILE."
9) Wrap the base, harp and bulb separately in newsprint.
10) Place them together in a carton, filling spaces with crushed paper.
11) More than one well-cushioned lamp may be packed in a carton.
12) Label cartons "LAMP BASES" & "FRAGILE."
Computers, Stereos and other electronics
If possible, pack electronics in their original cartons. As long as proper packing materials are used electronics can be safely packed in sturdy boxes. Refer to the manufactures' guide or user's guide for special moving instructions. If you no longer have a user's guide, visit the manufacturer's website for an online version or to request a copy.
1) Before disconnecting any wires or plugs, mark the wire or cable and the port you're removing it from with the colored labels. Color code the ports and cables so you can reconnect them later. If you run out of different colors, you can also write a number on the label that will match the port and the cable.
2) For extra protection, write down detailed step-by-step instructions on how you're dismantling the equipment so you can refer to it later when assembling it. Keep this instruction guide in the box with the equipment.
3)Place the cables and wires into a sealable bag (i.e. ziplock baggies) and tape it to the piece of equipment.
4) Remove all parts that can be disconnected and wrap each piece with 3 - 4 sheets of paper.
5) Pad the bottom of the box with a generous amount of newsprint.
6) Place the largest piece of equipment on the bottom and fill holes with additional paper.
7) Place smaller protected items on top.
8) Fill all remaining spaces with paper, making sure nothing rattles or that nothing will shift during the move.
9) Firmly seal the carton.
10) Label each box with the contents and which room it belongs in and also label each box as "FRAGILE" & "THIS END UP."Note: When you unpack your electronics, let them reach room temperature before plugging them in. Also, Cd's and software can not tolerate high temperatures. If you have sensitive media, you may want to carry it with you as opposed to moving it on the truck.
Live Plants
If you are fond of your plants it is wise to put some time and effort into making the moving process as quick and painless for them as possible. Almost all moving companies will NOT cover plants. They are just too easy to damage. So, you need to take extra care yourself. You also need to bear in mind that certain movers will not carry plants or may have restrictions on those they carry according to your destination. You can move a plant successfully from one house to the next only to see it wither and die a couple of weeks later. To avoid this you need to do some preparations well ahead of your move to get them in peak condition.
1) Get some sturdy boxes & line these boxes with plastic so that they are ready for your moving day.
2) Assess all the plants you want to transport a couple of weeks before you move and prune them, feed them and administer any pest control treatments to get them into peak condition.
3) Think about the pots they're in. I recommend that you re-pot the plants into plastic pots.
4) Check that all your pots are whole and not cracked or broken. A cracked pot stands more chance of breaking in transit and thus damaging the contents.
5) Make sure that the pots are not too big for the actual plant. This can cause them to move about and damage themselves.
6) On your moving day (or the day before if you're pushed for time) make sure that none of the plants are water-logged and drain away any excess water.
7) Pack them snugly (but not too tightly) into the boxes you have set aside and put some packing paper around the pot hold them firmly.
8) Make sure you tell your movers that these boxes contain plants.
9) Plants in large pots should be wrapped in plastic or placed in bags, you can also wrap the actual plant in plastic to avoid damage and to keep the plant together. If you do this be careful to make sure that the plastic is not tied together too tightly, plants still need to breathe!
10) If you're moving garden plants the best time to dig them up is on your moving day. This minimizes disruption.
11) You should dig up the plant so that you have a ‘root ball' at the base. Wrap this in plastic and make sure that the earth in it is not too dry.
12) At delivery take your plants out of their boxes and any wrappings as soon as you can.
13) Garden plants need to be put in the garden as soon as possible. Keep in mind you can always move them later.
14) Keep an eye on both house and garden plants for a few weeks after the move and make sure they are well watered and fed as necessary. Your garden plants may be transplanted into soil that is different to that they are used to and they may need extra help and attention.
Firearms
1) You are responsible for transporting handguns and ammunition.
2) Other firearms such as rifles or shotguns must be unloaded.
3) Make sure you get a specific inventory of these items from your driver, also make sure your driver includes the serial numbers on the inventory.
I hope that the tips that I have provided you will help make your move easier.
