Yes, first take a detailed slow panned video of each room, wall by wall, ceiling and carpets. Basement and all tools (open all and spread). Every appliance and fixtures get the medicine cabinet and under all sinks. Same with garage and all in there, same with shed and all vehicles/tools/bikes etc. You can then slowly advance the video, list the books etc, all the kitchen cabinet/freezer/clothes/bedding/frozen foods as well as dry foods etc and amass a fully exhaustive home inventory. An amazing amount of stuff = $$ builds up over the years and few people have such a detailed loss record. You can do the video in 15 minutes and as long as you save in the cloud - in a few places even - you can tabulate that aspect of your loss in detail later - even after the fact if well saved.
