Description

## Context
Add a reminder to clean gutters and confirm the downspouts drain away from the house.

## Why it matters
Clogged gutters can overflow and push water toward the foundation, so this is a simple maintenance task that helps prevent avoidable water damage.

## Proposed next step
- Schedule a gutter cleanup reminder.
- Check that downspouts are clear and directing water away from the house.
- Recheck after major storms or during seasonal leaf drop.
