Home Inventory - Done. Sort of.
Well, I finally did what about a million personal finance/get things done books and blogs tell us we should all do. I did a household inventory. Sort of.
I took the cheater’s way out and went around the house with the digital camera taking pictures of everything. It’s a heck of a lot faster than going around writing stuff down. Probably not as accurate, I suppose. It took all of ten minutes to get all the pictures, download them, and back them up.
Why would anyone in their right mind run around their house taking pictures of their stuff? In the case of some catastrophic loss (like a fire or tornado), you have to submit a claim to the insurance company. It sure would be a lot easier to remember what stuff you had if you had a list or picture of it in front of you. That’s why you people are advised to take a home inventory.
If you haven’t done one, a home inventory is really quick and easy with a camera. If you wanted to, you could even edit the pictures with text of what’s in the room. That way, if you ever need to, you can show the insurance man a record of what you owned.
