Great Tool: Track your home improvements, records, and more!

You know all that info that seems to be filed in so many places, like your insurance, repairs, warranties, seasonal work to be done, home improvements you're dreaming about.... Yeah. If you're like me, you have some of it filed in a folder, maybe in a cabinet or a box, and maybe updates are in a pile to be filed, and then there are ideas and to-do lists scattered here and there. And then SURPRISE, something happens - and you jump into action, grab the file folder and wonder if the latest info is what you're looking at.

So far, this is one of the very few books I can find that will help you get all your info into one very handy spot:


Stay tuned: I'm also reviewing an online application that let's you do the same thing, electronically (which would be another great tool because in the worst case scenario - when you can't get into your home - you can still get the info if you've got access to the internet).

Question on my mind: How organized are you with this kind of info? And if you had a great tool to pull it together, would you do it? Please post your comments below.

Karen,

It's a shameless plug, but I think HomeSpot HQ (www.HomeSpotHQ.com) is right along the lines of what you are talking about.

Thanks for your note, Derek. In fact, it IS HomeSpot that I'm looking at!
