Be the third little pig
The home maintenance you keep forgetting
Grumpty remembers it for you, grumbles in time to book it, and lines up the next one.
Set it up once. Grumpty runs the loop from there.
Let it run, and the upkeep just gets sorted. No slow rot, no surprise bill, no wolf at the door.
The third little pig does the dull jobs, on time. His is the house left standing.
He grumbles in time
Early enough to book someone, not the day it's already overdue.
You mark it done
He reschedules the next one from the day you did it, then goes quiet till it comes due again.
and round it goes, every time it's due
The jobs that bite are the ones you forget
- The dryer vent, packed with lint, that starts fires.
- The water heater, never flushed, rusting from the inside.
- The gutters, quietly steering water into the foundation.
- The A/C drain line, clogged and overflowing into the ceiling below.
None of them shout. Some you forget. Some you never knew were jobs at all, like the anode rod that rusts so your water heater doesn't. Either way they slip, and the slip is the costly part. Grumpty turns up already knowing the ones you'd never think to look up, and grumbles while it's still a small job.
Isn't this just a to-do list?
A to-do app
- Repeats on whatever date you set.
- Pokes you the day it's due, time to act or not.
- One flat list. Everything looks the same.
- You book the next one. If you remember.
Grumpty
- Turns up with the right list for your home.
- Grumbles while there's still time to act.
- Sorts what's overdue from what can wait.
- Books the next round itself, every time.
Not another app full of red badges
One grumble a day
One morning email for the whole house, not a ping per task. A nudge while there's still time to book someone, again as it nears, then weekly once it's overdue.
One list, shared
Everyone under the roof works off the same list. Whoever sorts the gutters, the rest of the house knows it's done.
Booked? He pipes down
Tell him you've arranged the job and the grumbles stop till the day. He only goes on about what's actually still undone.
He's a great pig
Mutters something new every time you open the list, does a grudging little cheer when a job's ticked off, and there's a daft game hidden in here somewhere. Not a gray checklist that makes you feel worse.
He turns up with the list already written
A starter library of the upkeep most homes need, with sensible frequencies, so you're not staring at a blank page. A few of them:
- Replace HVAC filterEvery 3 monthsA clogged filter strains the system and your bills.
- Clean guttersEvery 6 monthsClogged gutters send water into the foundation.
- Replace water heater anode rodEvery 48 monthsThe rod rusts so the tank doesn't. Spent, and the tank's next.
- Flush water heaterEvery 12 monthsSediment shortens its life and saps efficiency.
- Clean dryer ventEvery 12 monthsLint is the top cause of dryer fires.
- Test main & fixture shut-off valvesEvery 12 monthsSeized valves are useless in a burst-pipe panic.
What Grumpty won't do
No lead-gen. No selling you or your data. No warranty upsell. No surprise billing. The core loop stays free, you can clear off whenever you like, and Grumpty isn't going anywhere. He's a pig with a plan, not a business plan with a pig on it.
Right then.
