prompt
Build me a seasonal home maintenance plan. First, ask me about my home: - Year built + construction type - Climate (mild / cooling-dominant / heating-dominant / coastal / etc.) - Heating + cooling system types and ages - Water heater type + age - Roof material + age - Major appliance ages - Outdoor features (lawn, irrigation, gutters, drainage) - Smoke + CO alarm count and ages Then output: 1. Quarterly tasks tied to my home 2. Annual tasks with month-by-month due dates for my climate 3. Multi-year refresh / replacement windows 4. Pro vs. DIY split per task 5. A documentation template — date, task, who did it, cost, notes Don't invent specific manufacturer intervals. If precise timing matters, say "verify with the manual for the specific model."

prompt
I just bought my first house. Help me build a first-year homeowner plan. Ask me first: - Age and type of the home - Climate - HVAC, water heater, roof ages (from the inspection report or seller) - A summary of inspection report findings, if I have them - Anything that scared me in the inspection that I want to address first Then output: - Month 1 safety setup (smoke alarm + CO alarm tests, locate water shutoff, gas shutoff, label the breaker panel, find the main sewer cleanout) - Inspection-report triage (urgent / monitor / defer) - A home record template I should fill in (appliance models + ages, paint colors, where utilities enter, photos of mechanicals) - A seasonal first-year schedule - Which pros are worth meeting in year 1 (HVAC tune-up, roofer assessment for older roofs, electrician if the home has any aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube) Use "possible," "likely," "verify." Don't invent specific service intervals — say "verify with the manual for the specific model."
