Hi, this is long overdue, just had some free time to wander into my favorite sites tonite. After we built our home, we also had TONS of warranties, etc, and instruction manuals from the heating system, to air filters, water softeners, hot-tap, etc.......so this is what I did:
I went to a Staples office supply store and bought the largest 3 ring notebook they had, I think it's around 4-5" deep. I also bought plastic page protectors. Everytime I have one of those "registration cards", or warranties, or installation instructions, or small parts ordering list, etc, I put them into one of the page protectors. I haven't gone as far as to organize them into categories, because I have to refer to them so rarely that thumbing through a few pages hasn't been that inconvenient. Whenever I do have to refer to one, I move that page to the front, so that eventually the pages I use the most will all be towards the front. I also have a bin, for setting those papers in, until I can sit down and put them into the notebook. I labeled it Household warranties, etc. and then I keep it in the kitchen next to my cookbooks in the same cupboard, at the phone center area. works great!!!!
: Hi! I'm a newlywed who has just moved into our first home. We have so much info from both of our belongings that we have joined together and now have bought so many new items for the house. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to organize all this information. Thank you!
