Future spaces / Everyday upkeep
Care for the place that holds the practice.
The river retreat and sauna are planned spaces. The pump-care demo shows the kind of maintenance history a future shared space will need.
In SoilJournalStart with a planned building or belonging. Add equipment, care tasks, costs, and maintenance dates as they become real.
What happenedIn the equipment example, a $60 repair plan becomes a $50 recorded payment and a completed task.
The next stepGive each shared space a place in the inventory before its first day of use.
