Take the tour ×  We just built a new home, and I'm wondering
what routine things need to be done to keep everything working,
well maintained, and happy. I can think of a lot of things, but
the problem with any question like this is you never know what
you don't know. So... I'm thinking a community wiki would be a
helpful resource for everyone, and a good way to find things I
may have missed.  To that end, I'm not going to explain features
that went into our home. Our home may not have features which
other people would need to ask about, and I may forget a feature
which needs maintenance anyway. Please try to keep answers in
roughly the form of "Home Feature, Maintenance Required,
Frequency." Then a brief description of what might be helpful to
know about performing that maintenance. I'd like to encourage
links to other questions, and if a particular piece of
maintenance needs deep discussion, creating a new question and
linking to it.  Now... How do I flag this as CW?  share|improve
