Home Maintenance Planner & Log

You know when you changed the oil in the truck. Do you know when the water heater was flushed, or when the sump pump was last tested? Neither did we, which is why this planner exists — an 11-page fill-in system for the maintenance a house needs that nobody schedules on their own.

It walks the whole calendar — gutters, HVAC filter, smoke and CO detectors, dryer vent, septic, well water, GFCI outlets — with typical intervals sourced from NFPA and EPA guidance, plus room to record your own systems (make, model, serial) so you're not digging through a shoebox of receipts when something finally needs a part number. Print it, put it in the same binder as the tool logs, and the house gets the same treatment as the shop.

What's in it

• Seasonal maintenance calendar with sourced typical intervals
• 12-month quick-check log and 2-page maintenance log
• A place to jot down the furnace, A/C, water heater, and roof details you'd otherwise forget
• Service pros & warranty tracker
• "When to call a pro" guidance page
• PDF + editable HTML, blank fill-in-by-hand format

This same planner, shelved with the rest of the household paperwork, lives in the VicksGadgets Toolkit store, if straight-business paperwork is more your speed.

And if the household record-keeping urge extends to the dog's shot record and gear too, that's what our sister site PetPets is for.
