Confession time: I cannot remember the last time I changed our air conditioning filters at home. I am certain my gutters need cleaning. And if hard pressed I might be able to remember where the fire extinguisher is but I have NO idea how old it might be. Do fire extinguishers expire? Don’t answer that.
I have a lot of strengths, from making up recipes to mastering any craft challenge that comes my way, but home maintenance is one of my biggest failings as an adult. Enter BrightNest.
When I happened upon BrightNest, it was as if a chorus of responsible angels started singing. What is BrightNest? It’s a lovely little website that aids you in keeping up with every home maintenance task from changing the batteries in your smoke detector to cleaning your refrigerator coils. They have loads of clever tips (check out this adorable homemade cleaning products infographic), helpful reminders, and you can even create a to-do list for a partner or roommate. My husband just loves that.
My favorite part of the BrightNest site is the Homefolio, which allows you to create a customized owner’s manual for your home. You can enter in paint colors, appliance manuals, warranty information, and professional contacts, all in one place. For someone plagued by a junk drawer overflowing with paint chips and food processor pamphlets, this is pretty amazing.
It’s totally free to sign up for a BrightNest account, and I think you’ll find it to be a handy little corner of the Internet.
So where do you fall on the household responsibility spectrum? A disorganized mess (like me), or do you have a photographic memory for home details? Can you come clean out my junk drawer?
I'm gonna sign up for this. Thanks for the tip.
I organize everything in an OCD kind of way. This is something I will find helpful.
The Homefolio has me excited.
I like the Home History part.

Home Maintenance is made easy by the help of those businesses who offer services for every home and business owners. My air condition at home got broken but good thing there are offered air conditioning repair in orlando.
It's nice to clean our homes but sometimes we don't notice how much a mess we've made already. One time I got a commercial cleaner in Perth to help me out because I have no more time to clean my house. Good thing they charge reasonably.
In the summer, our village association has a centralized fire service network and info drive for fire prevention season. They encourage us to have at least one fire extinguisher unit in our workplace.
I'd still prefer boring some ventilation or windows through the walls of the cave. Slap on some timber shutters and it will be that much more homey.
A regular cleaning schedule for AC or buy dehumidifier will ensure efficient energy consumption. A clogged filter will make your unit consume more power due to dust suffocation.
That's a very entertaining and educating video. As a new mom, I thought that I needed the property maintenance Perth to constantly clean our house or properties, but then thanks for all these reminders. Perhaps I could do something to maintain our house one way or another.
I think ventilation system is perfect for those people who are so lazy interns of cleaning like you, lol! don't worry extinguisher doesn't expired, all you need to do is keep it in a balance temperature place.

Home maintenance is an important but expensive part of being a homeowner. It helps if you can do some of it yourself. I saved over $350 last summer when my central a/c quit. A local contractor wanted $500 to replace a motor, but I found a website that helped me get the motor I needed and walked me through the whole replacement process. I'm not very handy, either! Check out http://www.brokenthermostat.com if you ever need help with your heating or air conditioning.
Oh I never heard of BrightNest before, thank you for sharing the site. I admit I like their Homefolio, it helps me brainstorm and create a picture of how my dream home interior looks like.

Every chap will welcome that. Now, literally everyone can do renovations around the house.
nice.
Well, I'm not exactly lazy, but even I could use help like keeping everything from the TV to the air conditioning in tip top shape every now and then. Even the most industrious deserve to take it slow from time to time.
Even the not-so-lazy people would find this pretty useful. A few friendly reminders around the house wouldn't hurt.
