The jobs around the house

7 rows. A group is the level between a category and a task: one thing a person could hand over whole, split into the rows it actually takes. The app shows groups collapsed and lets you answer at either level.

Task	How often	Minutes	Takes out of you	Sits in your mind	Breaks your day	The doing	The carrying
Paint or decorate a room	twice a year	480	draining	on your mind	mostly flexible	0.38	0.74
Choose furniture, paint colors and furnishings	every three months	120	a little	on your mind	fits anywhere	0.16	0.77
Test and change the smoke and CO alarms	every couple of months	20	a little	on your mind	needs a slot	0.05	0.79
why Vigilance 4: nothing cues it except the 3am chirp, which is the failure mode, not the reminder.
Bleed the radiators and check the heating system	every three months	40	a little	on your mind	fits anywhere	0.05	0.77
Replace bulbs, batteries and fuses	every two weeks	12	a little	sits with you	mostly flexible	0.11	0.65

Assemble and install furniture, shelves and fittings	every couple of months	90	draining	sits with you	fits anywhere	0.20	0.52
why Merged from separate flat-pack and hang-things-up rows — the same job, the same toolbox, the same person.

Which households get these

A new household is seeded from its own answers, so most of these rows only appear where they apply.

Bleed the radiators and check the heating system — in autumn
Do the small fixes: handles, hinges, loose screws, caulk — not seeded into a new household — found by searching

Something missing, or something weighted wrong?

This is the part of Champignon that is genuinely unfinished, and the part a person outside this household can fix. Two routes, neither of which needs an account:

Something we don't have — a task you do that isn't listed here.
A weight that looks wrong — tell us which row, and what it should sit above or below. A comparison is actionable; feels wrong on its own isn't.

What happens next, and how a weight actually changes, is on Contribute.
