The Home Maintence Routine
$24.99
Almost nothing in a house goes wrong suddenly. It was visible for months first. Most people just don't know what to look for.
This is the whole year, written down, in the order it needs doing.
Every month is a ten-minute walk-through. Every quarter is seven things, four times a year. Every season has its own list with the reason it matters right then, so you book the furnace in September and actually get an appointment before everyone else needs one. Once a year is the bigger list, and every job on it tells you who to call.
Then the two sections that make it a reference rather than a checklist:
The Long View. What gets replaced and when, with real industry ranges. Everything in your house is on a clock, and this is the page that tells you where each thing is on it.
The House File. Fill-in pages for model numbers, filter sizes, paint colors and your vendors, so you are not hunting for them the day something breaks.
It's undated on purpose, so it's still right in five years. I print mine, laminate it, and use a dry-erase marker for the tasks that repeat.
What you get
26 pages, in US Letter and A4. Instant download, with instructions to put it in a binder. You can use it digitally, but I recommend following the instructions to put it in a binder that you use throughout the year.
