What Was in the House?

What would happen if you suddenly had to remember everything you owned?

After a fire, theft, storm, water damage, evacuation, or other unexpected event, reconstructing the contents of a home from memory can be overwhelming.

What Was in the House? provides a practical, step-by-step system for documenting your household before you ever face that problem.

Using the HOME Method, you'll learn how to create an organized home inventory without trying to catalog every possession individually or turning the process into an endless project.

You'll learn how to:

- Document your home room by room and category by category
- Use photographs and videos to create a strong visual record
- Record important model numbers, serial numbers, and identifying details
- Organize receipts, warranties, invoices, and supporting documents
- Document appliances, home systems, renovations, and improvements
- Separate what is known, approximate, and unknown instead of guessing
- Build safe digital backups so your inventory survives a household loss
- Keep your inventory current as possessions and rooms change
- Use your records to help reconstruct what you owned after a loss
- Organize information that may be useful if an insurance claim becomes necessary

The HOME Method is built around four simple principles:

H - Hunt for what needs to be documented
O - Organize the evidence
M - Make It Safe and Findable
E - Examine and Update the record over time

You don't need expensive software. You don't need every receipt. And you don't need to finish everything in one weekend.

You simply need to begin.

Create the record now-before you're forced to rely on memory later.
