Home improvement can be a tedious, expensive and humorless endeavor, as property owners and viewers of Tim Allen sitcoms can attest.
Make your tool time productive and enjoyable with Brightnest.
Just launched online by a helpfully OCD home designer, Brightnest diagnoses your abode and offers customized maintenance tips, to-do lists, and step-by-step instructions — thus saving your home from shabby, neighbor-shunning ignominy.
Set-up is a snap — just click a few icons to tell Brightnest specifics (e.g., my home has two floors, no pets, a standard water heater, exterior siding, etc.), and Brightnest reveals a personalized owner’s manual that reminds you what to do, plus e-mails you to remind you to do it (in the site’s parlance, “4 nuggets of awesome in your inbox 2 times a week.”)
Brightnest also offers “Homefolio,” an online locker where you can store important info (paint colors, phone numbers) and access owner’s manuals for almost every type of home appliance — basically providing all the faceless sagacity of Wilson, with none of the faceless creepiness.
