man scratching his headI have always been amazed at someone who could tear something apart and put it back together again without having any parts left over.  My brother in law is someone who can take any piece of equipment apart and put it back together in working order without any trouble at all.  But for those of us who seem to be left scratching our heads and wondering why we have pieces left over here is a great idea to help solve the problem. 

 

Use your digital camera to take pictures of the process while taking the item apart.  This way if time lapses or you can't remember exactly which order things go in, you have your digital pictures as your memory.

I did this with a barn we decided to tear down and rebuild on our property.  Needless to say, without the pictures, there is no telling what my barn would have looked like. It took me quite a while to rebuild it and there is a shed area that I still need to get back on.  It's a good thing I have the pictures.

This is a great idea.  And there's no waste...when the project is over, the digital images can be dumped if necessary.

As a child I used to take wristwaches, tear them apart and rebuild them to the original... It was a hobby that I don't have anymore. I would spread the parts and write numbers under... and going back counting down.
