Do any of you keep an inventory of certain items in your home? Do you have some type of inventory system, or a video recording, of your possessions in case of theft or fire? We did this years ago, but really need to update it.
I also want to do an updated inventory of some of the things we own, like books, movies and games. Years ago, I downloaded a free movie inventory system, since we had started buying quite a few VHS and then DVD movies. When I got my laptop a couple of years ago with Vista on it, I never could get that old program to run on it. So, me being the procrastinator that I am, I never got it updated and never got it running on my new computer. I decided this week that I would work on rectifying that. I found a free program online to download, and I downloaded it last night to my laptop. I don’t know if I will like it or if it will work for us, but so far it looks pretty good. It can keep track of books, movies, games and cd’s. I am keeping an inventory of the books we own at GoodReads.com, but I am going to try to get this program updated with our movies and games (since we got the Wii last year, we’ve bought a few games). It’s that time of year, you know. I always get a bit of the organizing, cleaning up, throwing out, decluttering vibe going this time of year, in January 😀
How about you? Do you have a listing of any of these at your house? Whether in a Quicken inventory type system, on a video recording for insurance purposes, or just a list in Word or Excel? Or are you not like us, and you don’t have a lot of books, movies, games, and music CD’s peeking out of every corner of your house?! Leave me a comment and let me know. I’ll be busy entering books, movies and games into my new inventory system 🙄
Have a great day 🙂
I used to keep inventory of the cds we own because we ended up with duplicates. We have very close to 500 cds (or maybe we’re over that because I haven’t kept up with it). I used Filemaker Pro at my previous job for mailing lists so I created a database for music. I didn’t have FMP at my new job so I just never kept it up.
I REALLY should keep an inventory of my stamps. I have thousands of dollars invested there and would have no way to list what I lost, should anything devastating happen. I can’t imagine how long that task would take!
My hubby takes photos of his music equip. so that he can prove what he owns, if needed.
That would require me to be like, organized you know! I think we used to have some kind of list/inventory thing for insurance purposes but that was years ago, might have even done a video of some sort but that was back when we had a video camera, the prehistoric kind. I’m in a declutter mood but not making much progress!
I’m organized, but I’m afraid I’m not that organized;-)
I have thought about going around and photographing all our rooms and closets and drawers just to help in case we ever had a theft or fire, but I’ve never done it!
I’ve thought about keeping an inventory, but I just haven’t gotten around to that, I don’t think I’m that organized LOL
