Something we haven’t seen in a long time is coming soon – COLOR!

I am so tired of looking out the window or going outside and just seeing various monochrome shades of grey, black and white – dirty snow and not a lick of any color.

Well, in another two weeks spring will officially be here, at least that’s what it says on the calendar – now if Mother Nature is on board with that I’ll be very happy.

Anyway, now in the closing days of an awful winter it might be a great time for a little organizing project. What better time than now to go through your house from attic to basement (and all points in between) and pull out all the items you no longer want, use or need.  In another few weeks, when we see the grass starting to grow on our lawns again (you remember that green stuff), we can start thinking about having the first yard or garage sale. Pretty soon it will be time to venture outdoors once again to enjoy the warmer weather along the Long Island Sound. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to get an early start on spring cleaning so you can enjoy the nice weather coming soon?

Take a good look at some of the things you’re storing away in all the spaces you use for storage, including that storage unit you’re renting down the street or across town. Do you really need all that stuff?  It’s one thing to hang onto Mom’s heirloom silver set or that antique table Grandma handed down from her mother but if you have items you no longer use or need then it’s time to unload them. Recover all your closet or garage space and maybe you can even eliminate a monthly rental charge on that storage unit.

While you’re working on this project you should also be thinking about taking stock of all those valuable possessions you own, (it actually ties in with getting organized).  Yes, that heirloom silver set and fine old table should be inventoried along with your electronics, furniture, appliances, linens, snow equipment art/coin collections, clothing, sports equipment and any other items of value. If you have possessions in a storage unit you should also have them inventoried in case of damage or theft. Remember the storage rental company is not responsible for the contents of the unit in case of loss.

If this is something you’ve been meaning to do but haven’t gotten around to it, don’t put it off any longer. If you don’t have the time or patience or you’d rather be out on the Sound when the weather finally breaks, then now is the time to contact us at Fairfield Home Inventory for a free estimate. Working with home and business owners we found that once we perform an inventory for their home or business, they tell us they are underinsured and yes, in some cases, over insured.

If you don’t have the time or patience to perform your own inventory then contact us for a free estimate – it’s affordable and offers you protection and peace of mind.

Would you be able to remember everything you own in case of disaster or theft?
