What this sheet is for
Give the jobs that do not fit neatly into 'spring' or 'autumn' a home of their own, and carry anything unfinished straight into next month's row instead of losing it.
Who it is for
Homeowners who think in months rather than seasons, and anyone who has found the existing seasonal checklist too coarse for what they actually do.
How to use it
- Write the month in the first column as you go — there is no fixed list to follow.
- Note what you are planning for that month, then date it when it is done.
- Carry anything unfinished into the next row rather than dropping it.
- Keep a year's sheet together; the pattern across years is the useful part.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A home maintenance checklist broken into twelve monthly blocks rather than four seasons — for the jobs that are easiest to remember by the calendar month they fall in, and the ones that get missed between seasons.
Yours to fill in, not ours to prescribe. There is no universal list of what belongs in which month — that depends on your climate, your property and what you own. Use the blank row for each month to write in your own jobs, carry anything unfinished into the next row, and build your own list over the first year.
Write-on lines: Property · Year
Month-by-month record
Table, 12 rows: Month · Jobs planned · Done · Carried to next month
Ruled lines: Notes and anything specific to yours
Questions
How is this different from the seasonal checklist?
The Home Maintenance Schedule groups jobs into four seasons; this breaks the year into twelve rows instead, for anyone who finds a season too long a gap between checking in on the list.
What should go in each month?
That depends entirely on your property and your climate, which is why the sheet ships blank rather than with a list already printed in it.
