Moving in February: what Toronto winters do to a hardwood floor

Salt, slush, and the floor protector I won't shut up about. A short love letter to ram board.

The hardest part of any move isn't the boxes. It's the two weeks before the truck shows up. Here's the rhythm I give every first-timer who calls me sounding panicked.

Sample article body — replace with the real long-form post. The shadow contrast is intentionally light so reading three pages of body copy doesn't tire the eyes. Headings break the rhythm; pull-quotes mark the moments worth slowing down.

Day 14 — the only day you really plan

Lorem ipsum body copy. Lists, inline images, and the table-of-contents anchor all live inside this same column.

"If you can't find your passport on day 14, you won't find it on day 1. Set it on the kitchen counter and don't move it."

Days 13 → 7 — the unhurried pack

One room a night. Books and out-of-season clothes first. Kitchen last. By day 7 you should be living out of three rooms.
