Arizona Home Talk

Nancy Nemitz, owner of Create the Space Professional Organizing, decided it was time to figure out how to operate some of the workings of day-to-day living that she’d always relied on her husband of 32 years to do.  “In case something happened to Jeff I wanted to be able to repair the fish pond fountain or replace a fuse.  So I grabbed a spiral notebook and we started on the outside of the house at the fuse box.  We worked our way to the backyard and the pool pump and then moved inside to make a note of where he buys the filter replacement for the refrigerator”.  Couples might want to cross-train each other in electronics, sprinkler timers, and other maintenance and operation of appliances. 

“Having all the information in one notebook which is easily accessible in the cabinet above the kitchen telephone, makes my life a lot less complicated,” says Nancy.   It will be a nice gift to leave with the new homeowner as well should we decide to sell our home.
