Maintaining a home is work
Whether you are a homeowner or live in an apartment, there are big projects that need to be done once or twice a year.
When was the last time you hand-scrubbed your floors or changed the batteries in your smoke detectors?
After learning that it had been years since I had cleaned out the pantry, I created a schedule to assure the big projects, which tend to be put off, are done more often.
Spreading the cleaning/maintenance tasks over the course of the year is less overwhelming.
This is a work in progress, and I’m sure I will be adding to it.

Excel version so you can adjust it to fit your needs: Big Project Schedule

Got other “Big Projects” to add to this list?
Feel free to add them in the comments section.

On Stumbleupon, under the “home improvement” category. I don’t know that I want a schedule – I know I’d take one look at it and start watching tv, myself. But I do know that it is really helpful to have these things down as a list, particularly if areas of the house are at risk for wearing away/developing pest problems/etc.

LOL! Although I think I like your philosophy better, I’m trying to stick to the schedule.
