House binder: everything about your home on paper
One print gives you a binder for the kitchen drawer: what to do in an emergency, where things are, when upkeep is due, a check for every month and a log for repairs. It fills itself in from what you have already saved on this site.
- Five sections
- Fills in what you saved
- Works blank too
Before you print
- Checking what you have saved…
Rather fill it in by hand? Download the blank binder (PDF, 6 pages).
Everything here comes from this browser and stays in it; nothing is sent to us. The preview below is what prints: about six pages, in black and white.
Building your binder…
How it works
Emergency page and house details come from the home info sheet. Fill that in once and both pages are ready.
Upkeep schedule lists the recurring jobs from My House, with the date you last marked each one done. Jobs your house does not have are left out if you answered the house questions on the homepage.
Month by month is the site's monthly punch list for all twelve months, as tick boxes.
Repair log is a blank table to write in between printings.

House binder questions
What goes in a house binder?
The things you need fast and the things you forget: where the shutoffs are, who to call, filter sizes and paint colors, an upkeep schedule, and a log of repairs. This one prints all of that as five sections.
Do I have to fill everything in first?
No. Anything you have not filled in prints as a blank line, so you can print it now and write the rest by hand.
Where does the information come from?
From this browser only. It uses what you typed into the home info sheet and the dates you marked in My House. Nothing is sent to us.
How often should I reprint it?
Once a year is plenty for most homes, or after a big change like a new water heater or furnace. The repair log page is meant to be written on between printings.
