Logging a new problem
Log it the moment you find it — even before you know how bad it is. A thin record now beats a perfect record never.Give it a title and a place
One short line — “Pool pump making grinding noise” — and the area: pool, kitchen,
master bedroom, garden…
Rate it
How serious is it (low → urgent)? Does it affect guests (none → high)? A wobbly shelf in
storage: none. No hot water: high.
Add photos
A couple of pictures are worth everything — the pump, the leak, the stain, the model
sticker. You can always add more later.
Following it through
Every issue has a status — where it is in its life:| Status | In plain words |
|---|---|
| Logged | Written down. Nothing decided yet. |
| Needs review | Waiting to be looked at and decided on. |
| Permission requested | The owner has actually been asked for a go-ahead. |
| Approved | The owner actually said yes. |
| Scheduled | There’s a real date or vendor slot for the work. |
| In progress | Someone has actually started working on it. |
| Completed | Reported done — but not yet checked. |
| Verified | A person looked at it and confirmed it’s really fixed. The end. |
| Blocked | Stuck — waiting on something. Always say what, in a note. |
| Cancelled | Deliberately dropped. |
As things move along
- Permission — if the fix costs money or is a big job, mark permission as requested. That puts it on the owner’s list. When they answer, it becomes approved (or not).
- Cost — add an estimated cost when you have a quote or a good guess; add the actual cost once money is really spent.
- Owner input — flip on “owner input needed” when you want an opinion, not just a budget: which tile color? repair or replace?
- Notes — anything worth remembering: “left the pump off overnight,” “plumber says Thursday.” Notes can’t be edited or deleted, so they’re a reliable diary.
- More photos — before, during, after. An “after” photo is the best proof of a fix.
