“Each of us believes himself to live directly within the world that surrounds him, to sense its objects and events precisely, and to live in real and current time. I assert these are perceptual illusions. Sensation is an abstraction, not a replication of the real world.” Vernon Mountcastle

The Home Renovation Planner

Project Documentation:

Excellent documentation of the complete project will be to your benefit in the long run. This work book planner is designed that all of your thoughts ideas and plans are located in this one file. If a year or two down the road you want to know what paint you used in the kitchen, you would just simply look at the section (specifications sheet in Project Plan section) you have recorded it in and there it is. You may also want to know dates for warranty purposes or just simply to recall any aspect of the project. The Renovation & Home Improvement Project Planner makes for excellent record keeping.

Be sure to record all the information as you go along.

Benefits:
If a problem arises with material or workmanship you will have complete documentation right from details of the contract to who did what and when to all costs and materials used.

Having everything in one organizer like this will help you recall exactly what was going on through the project if need be.

You will have a list of all materials used for future reference items like paint codes if you wanted to do some touch ups and match paint.

If you do multiple projects you will be able to refer to this for names, experiences, materials, etc.
This work book makes for easy filing and retrieval.


Science-fact-theory-hypothesis

Definitions key to discussions:

  • Fact: A fact is a statement that is true and can be proved with evidence.
  • Hypothesis: A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested by the scientific method. A hypothesis has not been tested.
  • Theory: Scientific theories are distinguished from hypotheses, which are empirically testable conjectures, and from scientific laws, which are descriptive accounts of how nature behaves under certain conditions. Theories have been rigorously tested and widely accepted by the scientific community who agree the theory best explains the observations or phenomenon we experience.
  • Scientific Method: The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.
  • Empirical Evidence: Empirical evidence is the knowledge received by means of the senses, particularly by observation and experimentation.
  • Reality: Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.
  • Delusion: A delusion is a belief that is held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.
  • Insanity: Insanity, craziness, or madness is a spectrum of behaviors characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns.
