First-year homeowners don't need another PDF.
They need to know what to do THIS month, and what can wait.
I built a free Chrome extension that does exactly that:
๐ข Done / ๐ก Needs a Look / ๐ด Call a Pro
๐ 34 tasks - Spring / Summer / Fall / Winter / Monthly

Your gutters dump 1,000 gallons per inch of rain.
If downspouts end within 2 feet of foundation, that water goes straight down your backfill zone.
Go outside RIGHT NOW:
Walk around house. Where do your downspouts end?
2 feet? 5 feet? 10 feet?
THREAD (add as thread in TweetHunter):
If it's 2 feet - you need extensions this weekend. $12 at Home Depot vs $15k basement fix.
FIRST REPLY:
If you answered C or D - this is in the free extension. It reminds you when season changes.

MISTAKE #2 - $15,000+ remediation:
Neglecting basement moisture.
That musty smell? Not "basement smell." It's mold starting.
DO TODAY: Buy $10 humidity meter. Put in basement. Over 60%? You need dehumidifier + check downspouts.
What's your basement humidity?
@Teslaconomics Youโre right it wonโt be tomorrow, but it will happen probably in major metro cities first and over the years coming they will spread out a bit when Uber first started really
@ContrarianSaver Theyโll always be stories about this sort of stuff everywhere you go they overbuild them or overcharge for them then they drop in price
