Where is it?
Sample rendered 2026-07-23Every "where did we put the…" answer in one place, pulled straight from the home files — plus every photo on file, what's out, what's low, and what to grab before the next hardware run. Nothing here is guessed.

🩹 First-aid kit — upstairs bathroom, under the sink
🚰 Water shutoff (whole house) — basement, behind the stairs — brass lever
🔥 Gas shutoff — outside, north side by the meter — wrench hangs beside it
