Shoot-Shoot-Shoot
Koontz - I was reminded recently of the importance and the value of photograpy when it comes to a home project.Detailing a project with pictures can be of benefit in several ways. The first might just be hubris-I like to see what was and what we've created. But photos can also be valuable to show the progress of the work and therefore the quality. Yes, we did install a beam over that opening...Mr. Inspector, Ms. Insurance, Mr. and Mrs. new buyers.
Just as we catalog the various valuables around our house for insurance reasons, photos of what your house looks like can help in proving that this abode was worth "X" amount of money. (Though appraisals are actually a mathmatical calculation, hedging your valuation with photography can only help, there is also something to be said for the subjectiveness of an appraisal).
I expect Jodi's friend just revels in the change from her Tuscan villa, to something that actually works in her area! And it's amazing what you forget if you don't catalog it! Without pictures, you might actually think that remodel of the kitchen was an easy project---but look at the pictures and you'll begin to remember what a drag it was to have the refrigerator in the garage and the kitchen sink outside the back door!
Small project or large, if you can get the perspective to take photographs-do it. You'll enjoy them years down the road, and maybe finally laugh about having to use the camp stove for two months!
