Is the home renovation checklist free?

Yes. Copy it as a checklist or print it, with no sign-up. Using it inside ActivityTracker, with the dates filled in, needs an account.

How do the dates work?

Each task has a day counted from the start: Day 1, Day 3 and so on. In ActivityTracker you pick a start date or a finish date, and every task lands on a real day. Tasks that repeat keep repeating.

Can I change it after I add it?

Yes. It's your project: rename it, add tasks, delete the ones you don't need. Save your version with Save as template and it's there next time.

What if the project I need isn't here?

Describe it in a sentence and the AI in Tasks writes a template for it, with sections and dates you can change before you use it.

About this template

Renovations run over because nobody wrote the phases down. This project does: the brief and budget, the contractor and permits, the build by trade, the snag list, and the last ten percent you hold back until it is done.

Tips from the template

Set the handover date on the "Handover" task and work backwards.
Photograph every stage; put the photos in the task.
Hold ten percent of the payment until the snag list is empty.
