Yeah, I just have an Excel spreadsheet. Item, model, serial, purchase date, purchase value, order number so I can find it in my email if applicable. The only thing I’ve filled a claim for was when my bike got stolen (purchased $500, reimbursed $2400 because apparently they changed to high end bikes) and they didn’t ask for any records.
I’d also recommend a video walkaround of your house at least once a year.

Don’t sleep on the video walk through, it can be truly invaluable.
Agreed… with a timestamp on the video this was the best advice I had after a housefire.
