Before the dry-walls are up, it is a good idea to take pictures for all walls in the house, so we can know the details behind each wall. The problem is how to manage these pictures since they all look the same.
When I took pictures, I followed the following rules:
- From top to down in levels.
- Start with the room located at the left-front corner of the house, and navigate all rooms on the same floor in the counter-clock order.
- In a room, start with the wall facing toward the facade of the house, and take pictures for the walls in the room in the counter-clock order.
To manage and search through these pictures, I need an easy and quick way to locate the corresponding picture of any wall in the house. Making notes to each picture is not good enough. Ideally, I shall be able to point to any wall on the blueprint of the house, and the corresponding picture of the wall will pop-up. This sounds a good software project for the family.
