How I Will Document Information

When you ask me questions or provide information about the renovation:

  1. I will clarify what category your information belongs to
  2. I will create or update the appropriate markdown file
  3. I will maintain consistent formatting across the repository
  4. I will link related information between files
  5. I will keep the structure organized and up-to-date
  6. I will provide summaries when you need an overview of decisions, budget, or timeline

Just share your information, decisions, questions, or updates, and I'll organize them into the right place.
