Every home needs care and care. Sometimes it may feel as if you have a problem fixing, only to face each other. This can lead to the vision of the tunnel, and focusing on the current, you feel like there is no time to worry about the future.
But the future is coming, and if you do not want to hurt the soul of your future, you can take several small steps to make you happy in the future.
Record your paint
Painting is an easy way to upgrade your home. The choice of the right color and sheen can be a project in itself, but once you get there, you will have a place in which you will feel comfortable.
When you start your paint project, snap photos of the cans of cans on the label, then leave these photos in a folder for your home plans. The label contains everything that you will need to know KNOW in the later history, your future soul will save a lot of grief. Alternatively, you spark the label (or ask for another when you buy paint), and put it in the notebook.
Hang on the spare material
Tiling the shower again? Siding the house again? Save some vinyl plaque floor? Whenever you finish a project, always try and hang some left -hand content. If you need to tear down a part of your work after years, keeping the spare on the hand hand hand in the patch work will make the task much easier. Tiles and floors are closed all the time, and even if this special style is still being developed in the future, there are often colors and grain contradictions between the beaches, so a tile box was purchased five years after the initial project.
Ask contractors
We hire skilled professionals for home care and renovation works that we cannot handle ourselves. But that does not mean that when work is done, you should be on the pub. Paying attention and asking some questions will put a lot of pressure to your future:
Used materials. Get a defect of the specified material used. Just knowing what paint, tiles, or floors were used, it will make it easier to replace or repair it in the future – and as written above, ask to keep the surviving material. However, you paid it.
Installation You are not contractor and do not want to do complex plumbing or electricity – but know How Things installed will be incredibly helpful to your future self. Contractors are deep wells of information, and they can point to the hacks, tricks and the best ways that can help you look good to the system and the fine and work properly.
Record dates
Keeping the house in shape can be a whirlwind of a permanent effort, and it makes it easier to forget when, when it was worked. But knowing how long ago something was installed, repaired or replaced, your future soul will present very well. Everything in your home is a suggested schedule for age and rehabilitation, so knowing when your boiler or HVAC was installed, how old your roof is, or the last time you will have valuable information in your basement.
When you are on it, when you change the batteries in your smoke alarms, thermostas, alarm systems, and something else, mark the date on which your peace and safety depends. Then do the same when you change the filters on your HVAC system, furnace, or water supply (and do not forget to test your fire extinguishers).
Labels fusters
Homeowners are dealing with the increasing supply of loose patch, bolts and Allen wrench for most of the modern home ownership. Someday to avoid snatching through the wrong patches and wrenchs, label them today. Each time you collect furniture or install shelfing, put in any storage of any kind of storage and label it clearly. When the time comes to separate or fix it, you will need everything.
Save Product Constitution
You will come with a rough product manual about everything you buy for your home (and these days you can easily download most of them). You may be tempted to think that you do not need any product manual of simple devices – you know how to drive a toaster, for example – but you should keep your product’s practice physically or digital. These customs will provide basic information that you will need to repair, repair, replace, or resolve problems, including a specific size error of fusters, wall anchors and other parts that you may need to change someday. In addition, the practice contains many other useful information, such as weight limits or other tolerance. If you want to replace a book shelf, you are deposited in storage for your dumbbells, for example, it would be great to find only the unit’s ability to find.
What do you think so far?
Keep Visual Records
Take pictures of things like air filters or unique light bulbs and leave them on your phone. Do this for any unique item that needs to be changed from time to time. Now, the next time you need a fresh supply, you will be able to find exactly what you need.
Make a map of circuits
You will not find out frustration unless you need to cut electricity to an area of your home (such as air conditioning) and you may not know which circuit it is. Until you get one, you wrap the breakers, and then you have a 20 -minute solid watches and solids in front of the preferences for 20 minutes.
Instead, spend half an hour in mapping your breaker panel, applying each one clean label. The next time you will have a reason to reduce the strength in a device or room, you will be able to do this with no drama or stress.
As a person who is often forced to enter his home, I can say that there will be some additional keys to the safer places around your neighborhood (or if you have smart locks then a few trusted people with security codes). Deeply Appreciated your future soul.
Identify the contractors already
When you are in the midst of an emergency, it is the worst time to find plumber, electricity, acrylic or roofs. Start asking friends and neighbors for recommendations right now, and start the master file of contact information and who recommended them (including their specific tasks, if you can). When you find a newly formulated lake in your basement one morning, you will be able to calmly call three months research instead of trying to do three minutes.
