I wish someone had told me earlier to document everything.

When you are doing a big remodel or restoration project it is a great idea to keep detailed records to help track progress and costs. It can also be a resource for the next person coming in after you.

We have come across some surprises while working on this project. Doors covered up. Walls added in where there weren’t any before.

I am starting to keep records. I always like to have appliance model #s to help with troubleshooting and repairs. Some other things I keep track of is paint colors, tile and flooring info, curtains/blinds. Its nice having this information on hand if you need to repair or replace something in your home.

What is a lesson you wish you had learned earlier or what do you wish someone had told you? Comment below! I’d love to hear!
