Gould House Handbook

How things work around here — for when Andrew isn't the one who has to fix it.

Suggested sections

• Emergencies — water main, gas, switchboard, what to do if the power's out and the solar is still feeding. The page you want findable in thirty seconds.
• Network — UCG-Fiber, UNVR, WAPs, VLANs, what breaks the internet and what doesn't.
• Home Assistant — zones, automations, what the notifications mean, how to stop one.
• Appliances — Miele dishwasher, F&P washer, oven, pond pump. Model numbers, filters, service history, quirks.
• Solar & energy — Solis inverter, battery behaviour, retailer plan, what the app means.
• Media & self-hosted — Plex, Sonarr, paperless, where things live on the NAS.
• Travel — pre-departure checklist, house-sitter notes, the airport data mode prompt.

Start with whatever you've most recently had to explain to someone twice.
