Household Binder

People who own or run a home and keep its records on paper.

It asks for the paint code, not just the colour name.

  • 110 pages: twelve rooms of four sheets each - the room card, finishes, work done and measurements - plus appliances, services, contractors, meters, the seasonal round and six projects
  • A finishes sheet that gives every surface its own row, because the most-lost piece of household information in the world is what colour a wall is
  • It asks for the code as well as the name - names get discontinued and renamed, and the code is what a mixing desk still understands in five years
  • Walls, ceiling, woodwork and floor, plus three spare rows, because a real room has a chimney breast or a windowsill that is different
  • No service interval is printed anywhere. Not annually for a boiler, not every five years for anything - those depend on the appliance, the fuel, the tenure, the insurer and the country
  • The services register has last done and next due, and you fill the second from your own paperwork. This is the one place in this catalogue where being wrong would be a safety question rather than an inconvenience
  • Nothing here is safety advice and nothing tells you to check anything. It records what was done, and when
  • No paint brand, no supplier, no manufacturer and no price is printed - and no serial or policy number is asked for, because a synced household file is not where those should live

What is inside

For whoever in the house is the one who knows things - what the paint is, when the boiler was last looked at, which plumber was good, what the meter read in March.

110 pages: twelve rooms of four sheets each, plus appliances, services, contractors, meters, the seasonal round and six projects.

THE FINISHES SHEET

The single most-lost piece of household information is what colour a wall is. Not approximately - the brand, the name, the code, the finish, where it was bought and when it went on. Everybody means to write it down, nobody has a place to, and the tin goes out with the recycling.

· Every surface in a room gets its own row: walls, ceiling, woodwork, floor, and three spare, because a real room has a chimney breast or a windowsill that is different

· It asks for the CODE as well as the name. Names get discontinued, renamed and reissued at a slightly different mix; the code is what a mixing desk still understands in five years

· And the finish, because the same colour in matt and in eggshell is two different walls

NO SERVICE INTERVAL IS PRINTED

Not annually for a boiler, not every five years for anything, not one frequency anywhere in this file.

How often depends on the appliance, the fuel it burns, whether you own or rent, what your insurer requires and what country you are in. This is the one place where a printed number that disagrees with your own documentation would be a safety question rather than an inconvenience.

The services register has last done and next due, and you fill next due from your own paperwork. Nothing in this file is safety advice, and nothing in it tells you to check anything. It records what was done, and when.

NO NUMBERS ASKED FOR

No serial number and no policy number. A household file that syncs between devices and gets shared with whoever else lives there is not where those belong. Every register has a where-the-paperwork-is column instead, which is the part that actually helps.

ALSO INSIDE

· A measurements sheet per room, for the window that needs a blind and the alcove that needs a shelf - with one unit written at the top and a printed note never to mix them

· A contractors register with a would-you-use-them-again column, which is the only rating that has ever been useful

· Meter readings - a number and a day, and a since-last column

· Four seasonal sheets, one per season, empty on purpose: a printed round would be somebody else's house in somebody else's climate

· Six projects with a plan, costs, and a what-you-found-once-it-was-open sheet

No paint brand, no supplier, no manufacturer and no price is printed anywhere.
