Some of the Greatest Advice You Will EVER get!!!

(How to protect yourself against heartbreak…)

“Can We Talk?!!”

Joan Rivers, the famous comedienne, made this funny invite to her viewers, “Can We Talk?!!” But she wasn’t laughing when she had a serious heart to heart talk with presenter, Dorothy Adams, on QVC about how Quake Wax (an easy to use anchoring material) could have saved a cherished item from being broken!

Years earlier, Joan had been given a ceramic gift by her husband who in later years, committed suicide. This pair of ceramic bookends became priceless to Joan, a heartfelt memory. Then came along the Northridge Earthquake, in the Los Angeles area in 1994 and to Joan’s deep sadness, the ceramics were broken, ruined and thrown away.

As she related her sad story on TV, Joan became very somber. Once she realized that had she used Quake Wax she could have probably saved her keepsakes from being damaged and she became quite emotional and tearful.

I have been teaching people for 25 years to protect their collectibles etc with an anchoring wax. This important tip is one of many given in the book “How To Save Your Stuff From A Disaster” and is a tried and true method of protection that is employed even by museums on their collections… like the Library of Congress and the Getty Museum!

Fire means water damage and smoke damage

Before I do, as I promised, here are your 3 Valuable, Easy-To-Do Tips that will immediately help you protect and save your treasured family history and can also be used on other important documents as the next tropical storm or hurricane lines up off the coast. Don’t Wait Another Moment! These three steps will give you immediate satisfaction and some peace of mind.

Printed photos on your home printer are NOT archival! This means the ink will run if it gets wet. Imagine the disaster awaiting your family photos when all the wet from the storms hits?!

1. Take your digital camera (can your mobile phone get close ups?) and shoot close up copies of your most important photos (vintage, ancestors, ceremonies, family no longer around). You can hand hold the camera if there is a lot of light. You’ll need a tripod for better results in low light. In fact, if you are REALLY in a hurry, you can photograph an entire page of your photo album instead of taking the photos out for individual photos. The purpose of this effort is NOT to get perfect photos but to quickly make emergency copies.
2. Send/mail your memory card with the photos to “your sister” in Denver… or to someone, somewhere else WAY OUT OF THE WAY of the storms. An option is to email your photos to others to hold for you. Or load them onto an online storage service. This may be, eventually, invaluable back up if your house gets blown to OZ! You will thank me to NO END for this suggestion if the storm hits your area hard.
3. Take the pile of original valuable photos and slide them into an inexpensive photo album from a warehouse store (Walmart, Costco etc). The cost should be about $10 and the materials are archival. Put this photo album in your Grab N’ Go box when you have to evacuate. (See how easy this is to do… see the video!)

Bonus tip! (I can’t help myself!)

4.   A laser print photocopy made at a photocopy shop (Office Max, Staples, FedExp-Kinkos etc) will not run if gotten wet. If you have them make the photocopy on a thicker stock acid free paper, the copy will be archival. They can copy several small photos on a single page to cut costs. Keep your archival copies in another location.

Yes! These 3… no,  4 Simple Steps Guarantee

You Will Protect And Save

    I was panicked!, November 28, 2000  Amazon.com ReviewBy A Customer

    What a life saver this book was! My whole box of photos (yes, an old cardboard box) was in my garage when we were hit by huge amounts of rainfall last winter. The rain poured through the garage and soaked everything that was down there. I was paniced. My girlfriend told me to go and buy this book which I did promptly. I saved every single photograph in that old box. Now my whole family history is in the proper type of books, in order and protected. Everyone should own this book. It is an excellent guide and reference book that you will referred to over and over…..

    Great Resource Even When There’s No Disaster, August 9, 2009  Amazon.com Review

    By Jeannene Kott (San Francisco) – See all my reviews

    How to Save Your Stuff is full of tips on packing, framing, storing and repairing with materials and where to find them. These are simple, straight forward, directions that anyone can follow. When I started reading it I thought I had to find squirrel’s femur bones in Africa to repair my carved heirlooms. Alas, it was only a type of glue and Scott tells you where you can locate it. I can do this!! Not just for disasters, its a recipe for aging treasures growing old gracefully

    VALUABLE Before AND After the Unthinkable, August 12, 2009   Amazon.com Review

    By Elizabeth R. Sand (Laguna Beach, CA) – See all my reviews

    After reading this great “How to…” book, we made lots of changes in our home to secure our stuff against earthquakes, mudslides, etc. When a tremor did come and lots of our neighbors lost their valuables, ours were still anchored safely and we lost nothing!(Not to mention the daily tremors of grandchildren in the house.) I credit the knowledge of Scott Haskins 100%!

    Years later, our water heater pipe broke and flooded the garage while we were away. We came home to a waterfall cascading down our driveway! Thanks to the invaluable information in “How to Save Your Stuff From a Disaster,” most of our truly valuable items had been stored properly and safely away, but a box of pictures sitting near the floor was damaged. We were able to utilize the instructions found in this book to save almost all of them! Thank you, Scott!

    a lifesaver!, August 12, 2009   Amazon.com Review

    By George C. (Santa Barbara, CA) – See all my reviews

    I was evacuated from my house during one of four fires in the Santa Barbara area this past year. Luckily, my house was spared, but I did experience some smoke damage. How to Save Your Stuff gave me some great tips and had referrals for suppliers of preservation materials. I hope there are no more fires, but if there are, I know how to save all of my sentimental items.
