Evidence-informed home upkeep
Home maintenance guides
Written in the same voice as the HouseHum coach: calm, practical, and honest about what's a named-authority fact (the DOE, ENERGY STAR, NFPA, the Red Cross) and what's home-upkeep craft. Every guide draws the DIY-vs-pro line clearly — and gas, electrical panels, structural work, and roofs always get the same answer: call a licensed pro.

Not forty generic items — the right ten, ranked by what costs you money if you skip it, with the freeze-sensitive jobs first and every claim sourced.
