About This Book: Detailed Home Maintenance, Repairs, and Renovation Log Book Journal Keep Accurate, Detailed, and Up-to-Date Records of General Maintenance and Repair Work to your Home. Keep a Detailed Home Maintenance and Renovation Diary Just as it's important for you to keep detailed records of your home business, your bills, income tax information, or medical history, so too is it imperative that you keep a detailed record of all maintenance you perform on your home. After all, it is your biggest investment and the one thing in your house that requires constant TLC to maintain its value and to ensure it continues to be able to protect your family from the elements and keep them secure. However, when you think about everything you have to do to take care of a home, setting up a manageable way of keeping accurate and detailed records can be an overwhelming task. But with some creative thinking and a commitment to accuracy and organization, it can make a daunting task quite simple. Whether you are just purchasing your home or you're just committed to setting up a manageable database of information regarding your home's maintenance, a home maintenance diary might be just the thing you need to get organized and stay organized on this matter. Begin with taking stock of your home's current condition. Be brutally honest when you're assessing the situation. You might want to categorize your diary by section of the home such as the exterior, kitchen, master bedroom, or basement, or you may choose to divide it according to tasks, like painting, electrical, insulation, roof, landscaping, or climate control. Treat your initial walk-through as a real estate agent or investor might do. Study each corner, each tile, and brick, and notate any damage, defect, or upkeep that needs to happen.
