What is on it
Four seasons, seven jobs each.
Spring is the outside of the house waking up: gutters, roof, air conditioning, the sump pump you have not thought about since last year. Summer is water and appliances — flushing the heater, descaling the faucets, the dryer duct that quietly fills with lint. Fall is everything that has to be ready before the cold: the furnace tune-up, the outdoor faucets, the chimney. Winter is the short list you do from inside, including the one job on the page that is monthly rather than yearly.
Each line carries the interval next to it, so the page is useful even before you start checking things off.
Being straight with you
This list fits almost every house. It does not fit yours exactly.
A septic tank adds four jobs nobody else needs. Hard water halves the interval on the water heater. Trees over the roof turn one gutter cleaning a year into two. A house with no garage does not need the garage door tested twice a year, and an apartment with no chimney can ignore a seventh of the page.
That is the limit of any printed checklist, including this one. The paid version asks twenty-one questions about your house, filters a hundred jobs down to the ones you actually have, and works out when each of them is next due from the date you last did it.
If you would rather stay on paper, the Home Maintenance Binder is the long printed version: a page for every month, a hundred jobs with their intervals, tags for the ones that only some houses need, and the record pages for shut-offs, warranties and repairs. You can print it or fill it in on screen.
The small print, briefly
Yours to use.
Print it as many times as you like, for your own house or to hand to someone else. Put it on a fridge, in a rental welcome packet, in a folder for the next owner. The only thing we ask is that you do not sell it or strip the CellWorks name off it and pass it off as your own.
