FamilyBoardHome Repair Cost Log
A repair total is more useful when it includes what failed and what happened afterward.
Inputs
- date;
- asset/area;
- symptom/issue;
- provider;
- total cost;
- parts/labor breakdown optional;
- outcome: resolved / monitoring / follow-up scheduled / replaced;
- invoice reference.
Output
Show per-asset repair history and cumulative repair cost. Do not automatically say “replace” when cost crosses a threshold; the decision depends on condition, household needs and alternatives.
Example
A dishwasher with three repairs can show the dates, symptoms and cumulative cost. The value is the narrative, not only the number.
Privacy
Client-side only. Notes and costs must never be sent to analytics.
CTA: Use the log when a problem repeats; repeated history is where the value becomes much greater than a single invoice.
