- List the known repair times and the rooms or services affected. Keep estimates labeled as estimates.
- Choose where each person can work or rest, and agree on who handles specific contractor or delivery communication if needed.
A worked example
“The kitchen may be unavailable Tuesday. I’ll arrange simple food; can you handle the delivery window we agreed to?”
An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.
Before you leave it here
Update the plan when facts change. Do not let one person become the automatic manager of every repair detail simply because they are home.
