Example scenarios
- Use 453 sheets as a baseline, then add a buffer for storage areas, fragile items, stairs, and schedule delays.
- Compare this result with moving cost, truck size, and supplies calculators before booking or ordering.
- Long-distance moves need more conservative estimates because a second trip is usually not realistic.
