BASE CHECK / SATURDAY
Base Check Saturday
Dec 5Saturday, Dec 5, 2026
Four times a year, the whole crew checks every base on the same day. Ninety minutes for the house. One evening with the lights out. One thing fixed.
01 / THE PLAN
Saturday, step by step
| When | What | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | Walk the seven bases with the checklist. Tick what you have, circle what you lack. | 20 min |
| Afternoon | Fix one thing from the circled list. | Your pace |
| Evening | Lights-Out Night. Run the drill as if the power is out. Open the guide | 90 min |
| After | Update your base status. Reply to the crew email with the one thing you fixed. | 5 min |
