For homeowners
Stop keeping your house in your head
Record shutoffs, maintenance history, contractor details, manuals, and improvements so the important details of your home stop depending on memory.
For homeowners
The details your house depends on, written down once
Shutoffs and valves
Main water shutoff, outdoor spigot valves, and the toilet or sink stops you will want at 2 a.m.
Panels and breakers
Where the main disconnect is, which sub-panel feeds what, and which breaker controls the garage.
Maintenance history
Furnace service, water heater age, roof repairs, and the seasonal jobs that quietly lapse.
Manuals and receipts
Model plates, appliance manuals, contractor invoices, and warranty paperwork in one place.
Recurring reminders
Filters, detector batteries, gutter clearing, and annual inspections on a repeating schedule.
Improvement records
Permits, paint colors, materials, and before-and-after photos that raise a home's story from memory to record.
Getting started
A first hour that pays for itself
- 1
Map the three shutoffs
Water, electrical, and gas. Photograph each one wide and close, and note which direction closes the valve.
- 2
Photograph every model plate
Furnace, water heater, AC condenser, and any well or sump equipment. Contractors ask for these first.
- 3
Record what you already know
Last roof repair, last furnace service, the plumber you trust, the quirk with the upstairs bathroom.
- 4
Set the recurring jobs
Filters, detector batteries, gutters, and annual service. Once entered, they stop living in your head.
Questions this answers
Things you should not have to guess
- Where do I shut off the water right now?
- How old is the water heater?
- When was the furnace last serviced, and by whom?
- Which breaker controls the outdoor outlets?
- What paint color is the hallway?
- Who fixed the roof, and is it under warranty?
- Where is the crawlspace access?
- What did that repair cost last time?
