My husband is a record keeper. He has a notebook where he records incoming and outgoing cash flow every month. He keeps a dated list of every project, improvement and appliance purchase. We have file folders bursting with product manuals and warranties for every product that enters the house (and some that have long ago left – come to think of it, I need to purge those files).
But those are HIS records, and I have difficulty accessing them myself because they are kept in multiple locations, ie., the garage, his car, some shifting spot in the laundry room. So when I need the dimension of a window, I whip out the tape measure myself because it’s easier than trying to lay my hands on the correct notepad in the proper location at any given time. And then I write down the info and promptly lose it in the mountain of similar scraps of important factoids that make up the landscape of my desk (and my other desk, and the living room credenza, and several other “hot spots” all over my house – sigh).
So imagine my excitement when I discovered the Home Profile section of MyLowes.com. Here is a place where I can record and track it all, not to mention look for great ideas and plan, plan, plan! It might take me a while, but eventually I’ll have all of our living spaces recorded in there with exact dimensions, materials we’ve used (or plan to use), and notes on what worked well or what we’d like to change. And because inside and outdoor spaces are both featured, I can finally pitch my envelope full of paint chips and plant tags!
