A stronghold that is not maintained slowly stops being one. This is the rhythm we build every estate around.
Spring
- Inspect the perimeter, gates and seals after winter.
- Test well water and change filters.
- Service ventilation for below-grade spaces.
- Clean solar panels and check battery health.
- Prune the orchard and prepare the beds.
Summer
- Run irrigation on timers and watch reserve levels.
- Clear defensible space around structures.
- Check cooling equipment in power rooms.
- Harvest, replant and begin preserving.
Fall
- Top off water reserves and winterize exposed lines.
- Service the generator and rotate fuel.
- Stock the root cellar and pantry.
- Split and stack firewood.
Winter
- Keep access roads and the gate clear of snow.
- Monitor battery state and generator runtime.
- Rotate stored food.
- Review the year and plan improvements.
