<p><img src="http://simplehomeorganization.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gutter-150x150.jpg" alt="Clean gutter" title="Fall Cleanup - Leaves in Gutter" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1560" />Whether you are a homeowner or live in an apartment, there are big projects that need to be done once or twice a year. </p>
<blockquote><p>When was the last time you hand-scrubbed your floors or changed the batteries in your smoke detectors?</p></blockquote>
<p>After learning that it had been years since I had <a href="http://simplehomeorganization.com/organizing/show-pantry-love/">cleaned out the pantry</a>, I created a schedule to assure the big projects, which tend to be put off, are done more often. </p>
<p>Spreading the cleaning/maintenance tasks over the course of the year is less overwhelming.</p>
<p><img src="http://simplehomeorganization.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bigprojectschedule.jpg" alt="Big Project Schedule" title="bigprojectschedule" width="500" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1555" /></p>
<p>This is a work in progress, and I&#8217;m sure I will be adding to it. </p>
<h3>Download the schedule</h3>
<p>Excel version so you can adjust it to fit your needs: <a href="/wp-content/uploads/downloadfiles/bigprojectschedule.xls" target="_blank">Big Project Schedule</a><br />
PDF format if you want to follow my schedule: <a href="/wp-content/uploads/downloadfiles/bigprojectschedule.pdf" target="_blank">Big Project Schedule</a></p>
<h3>Got other &#8220;Big Projects&#8221; to add to this list? </h3>
<p>Feel free to add them in the comments section.<br />
