Invenacom - Free Online Home Inventory Service

Invenacom Home Inventory Services, Inc. is now offering their online asset management program for free.

Although you can purchase a number of home inventory software programs in stores, Invenacom's system is unique in that it is web-based. The system will automatically keep track of the value of your assets so you can be sure your home insurance policy will cover everything in the event of a loss. You would be surprised how much you actually have. The program also allows you to upload a digital photo of each item and it will automatically resize it on the fly.

All your documented valuables are stored securely on their servers rather than locally on your computer so in the event of a fire or theft you simply log into their website and you have full access to your itemized inventory.

If you are curious about the company, I found a video interview with the founders, Gerald Lau and Terry Dhut on YouTube as well as a promotional video for their service.

It's a very simple to use and efficient system. If you get a chance, take a look at it.

Gas Leak!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was punctuated earlier this morning by a knock on our door. One of the sub-contractors working next to our neighbor's house had punctured a gas line while excavating. Whoops. They advised we might want to evacuate the house, just to be on the safe side, until the gas company could cap the broken line. It seemed like a reasonable suggestion so we headed a few doors down to the development's show home and office to wait.

All in all we were only out of the house for about 15 minutes before the gas company showed up and fixed the leak. I was pleased that my house was still where I left it and that it did not end up resembling a pile of popsicle sticks.

New Home

We have purchased our first house. After a mountain of paperwork and several delays we were finally able to move in late this afternoon.
