| Home Remodeling Using a
Digital Camera |
By Greg Vanden Berge
Now obviously you can't build a home with a digital
camera, but you can save yourself a lot of frustration by taking
pictures as the work progresses. One of the best tools that you can use
today when working on any home remodeling project is a digital camera.
I see homeowners, construction superintendents and other professionals
involved in the remodeling process, taking pictures but rarely taking
pictures of everything.
If you're remodeling a bathroom, you probably wouldn't spend more than
one hour during the project taking pictures with your digital camera.
You need to take pictures of everything. The more pictures you have the
better and I'm talking from experience. I thought I took enough pictures
of a house renovation project that I was working on to satisfy any
building inspector, only to find out that I needed more pictures after
the job was done, to locate a problem that we were having with the
plumbing.
Here's where these pictures really become useful. If there is an
electrical or plumbing problem and you have pictures of the work that
has been done, you can usually locate specific problems examining the
pictures, instead of removing large areas of drywall to find one
particular problem.
I take pictures of everything and it has become part of the remodeling
process for me. I can access these pictures, if a previous homeowner
questions something that I did and can use these pictures to benefit
myself and other people that have worked on the project who are now
having problems with electrical, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning
and other sections that have been currently remodeled.
You have your hammer, saw and digital camera. Each one of these tools
provides value to contractors and homeowners today.
