Old and new buildings each have a different story and can equally make excellent photograph subjects. Similarly, large and small buildings can both provide dramatic material for architectural photography. You may want to take pictures of the most photographed buildings in the world, such as the Louvre or the Empire State Building. But there are many other kinds of buildings that will also make excellent subjects. Take a picture of the smallest house in your city or a building with daring and unusual architectural design. Be aware of any restrictions that there might be in photographing your chosen building. Taking pictures in a public place (from a sidewalk, for example) typically does not have any restrictions. Going into someone's home or walking onto private property, however, can potentially have limitations. You may need to obtain permission to take photographs if you are on private property, although if a private space is open to the public, it can technically be counted as public and therefore open to photographs. Keep in mind that these rights may not hold for locations outside of the United States, so you will want to be aware of legalities when taking pictures elsewhere. When taking pictures of federal buildings in the U.S., you may rouse the attention of security guards who may tell you not to take pictures. You do, in fact, have every right to take pictures of federal buildings from public spaces, including sidewalks, plazas, parks, and streets. If you are taking pictures in a building of worship, such as a church, synagogue or mosque, respect the customs and procedures that are observed here. If the building is a historical or cultural landmark, there should be a staff person who can tell you more about the building. They may also be able to point out fascinating features of the building that are meaningful to the building's significance. If the building is abandoned, use photography to capture the spirit of the building and to help the viewer understand the building's previous glory. In the case of an abandoned building, be sensitive to conservation efforts as well as your own safety. There may be groups trying to save part or all of the building, so leaving loose boards, materials and other elements in their original places is important. Similarly, with peeling paint, exposed wiring or rotting floors, abandoned buildings can be dangerous places. Be attentive to these safety concerns.

Summary: Find a building with a unique story to tell. Know your rights. Discover the building's history.

Your town can hold at most ten villagers, and being capped is your best bet for achieving perfect town status. Having less than ten can result in less satisfaction. To check the status of your town, talk Pelly or Phyllis (or Isabelle in New Leaf) at the town hall. In New Horizons, talk to Isabelle at the Resident Services Center. Once you've built public works projects and beautified your town, check with Pelly or Phyllis if there are anything else you must do. Isabelle (or Pelly and Phyllis before New Leaf) will roughly tell you what the problem is, but you will have to figure out where the problem is. She will either tell you that you have to add more trees, get rid of trees, add flowers, get rid of rubbish or get rid of weeds, or she might tell you that this town is horrible which means you have to do all of the above. For as long as you keep your town beautiful, build many public works projects in it, and keep it fully populated, you will achieve Perfect Town status. Benefits will be in the form of new public works projects, rare mushrooms, and the Golden Watering Can. If you want to get the golden watering can, just keep your town perfect for at least 16 full consecutive days, and Pelly or Phylis (or Isabelle in New Leaf) will give it to you. Ask about the environment every day and keep in mind that the condition of your town will be judged at 6AM each day.

Summary: Make sure your town is populated to capacity. Check the condition of your town. Reap the benefits.

Chemical strippers can be used if what you're after is a quick fix, or the floors themselves were recently finished. If, however, you're dealing with traffic patterns, stains, or scratches, your best bet is to sand away those imperfections and then add another coat to the floor. You can rent a detail sander for this purpose. Hand-sand or palm-sand the perimeter of the floor with coarse 180-grit sandpaper. Rub out 4 to 6 inches (10.2 to 15.2cm) from the edge of the baseboard so that you're sure to cover the areas your mechanical floor sander can't get to. A floor sander is useful to hit the areas of the floor that weren't hit by hand in the detail sanding. You can rent floor sanding machines at hardware supply stores or equipment rental stores. Start with a semi-coarse grit and begin to sand the floor. Start off gently. You don't want to gouge the floor. If you get a good sander, you'll even be able to lift up the sander and spend a little more time on heavy-wear or problem areas. Change out your sanding disks as necessary. You may need to change out the sandpaper once or twice using the same grit before you've completely removed the finish. Using a pencil, color the entire area lightly with streaks of graphite. This will help tell you when you've sanded an area. Otherwise, it'll be tough to tell where you've sanded and where you haven't. Go over the entire floor again with a medium-grit sandpaper. Look at the pencil streaks to determine whether you've already sanded an area or not. Again, you may need to change the disks on your sanding machine before the job is finished. If you hit any wayward nails back into the floor in the prep stage, be sure to save the sawdust so that you can patch and plug the 14 inch (0.6cm) holes created by the nails. This will help ensure a nice, even finish.

Summary: Use sanding to buff up any very old, excessively scratched or worn wood. Prep the perimeter. Use a floor sander. Save the sawdust created by sanding.

It's typically on the far-right side of the row of "Function" keys (e.g., F5) that are at the top of the keyboard. The "Print Screen" key typically has "Sys Req" written below it. The "Print Screen" key may also say "prt scr", "prnt scrn", or "prt sc". If the "Print Screen" key has "Print Screen" listed below another line of text (such as "Sys Req"), you'll have to hold down your computer's Fn key to enable the Print Screen function. When you take a screenshot using the "Print Screen" key, everything on your screen (except your mouse cursor) is included in the shot by default. Be careful when taking a screenshot, since it's easy to forget you have personal information on-screen. This will take a screenshot of anything on your computer's monitor and save it to your computer's clipboard. You can also hold down the Alt key while pressing Print Screen in order to screenshot only the top window. On Windows 8 and 10, you can press Win+ Print Screen to take a screenshot and add it to your computer's "Screenshots" folder, which is in the "Pictures" folder. You may need to switch off the Function Lock before pressing Print Screen.
Summary: Find the Print Screen key. Open an item you wish to screenshot. Press Print Screen.
