Homeowner handbook
Keeping on top of the house
A month by month maintenance list, with the source behind every item. Tick things off as you go. Nothing you tick or write here is sent to me, and you can delete it all whenever you want.
The calendar
What is worth looking at this month
The months are a planning suggestion, not a rule. Not every item applies to every house, and your own equipment instructions always win over a general calendar.
Nothing scheduled for this month.

Project planner
How long are you staying?
How long you expect to be in the house changes which projects are worth doing. This is a way to think it through, not a prediction about what anything returns.

Need someone local?
I do not keep a contractor directory, because I am not going to recommend people I have not used. If you need an introduction in Connecticut or North Alabama, ask me and I will tell you who I actually know.
