Pin board for maintenance shopping
A few months ago we renovated our cabin, so we had to replace a lot of stuff and buy new. And I've noticed: I record for the thousandth time which bulbs I need for which lamp, which vacuum cleaner bags from which manufacturer are the right ones, which ink cartridges come into which printer and and and.
Then I stand around silly and read me the impressions on the light bulbs, which are so small that I can just read it or take the parts directly with me. Comes especially cool if the things are dirty.
I can remember a lot, I ratter the complete discography of certain age-old bands flawless down, have birthdays, phone numbers and so on and still in the pear, but there's no space on my hard drive for such a thing.
But I was not in the mood to lug around the trash or write down anything that was important when shopping, and stole an idea from my dad.
My parents have been hanging a pin board in the kitchen for a few weeks. There are no phone numbers on it, no business cards, shopping lists or anything like that, just abstracts of sales boxes of light bulbs, medicines and other stuff that you always have to replace.
Everything is there, what you need to know: watts, socket, bag types, etc.
On the backside my dad made it even easier. It says on it, where to get that, how much coal you have to latzen about and where it fits in, so something like "living room floor lamp, all nursery ceiling lights" and so.
When shopping is the one and then it's back to the wall.
In one corner of it, he has an overview of the opening hours of the most visited doctors, workshops, shops, etc., who has a talent for showing up whenever the lunch break or strange opening hours.
Now there is a pin board in the kitchen with us. At first I found the awkward, now I find it cool, can be that brings even more people what.
