Plant and mail watch

Use with: build-website. Resume line when done: Ran a house-watch service for traveling neighbors — daily photo updates, {n} trips covered

Brief

When neighbors travel, you water the plants, collect the mail, and send a photo update after every visit. The page explains your streets, your rates, and how the photo updates work, written so a nervous traveler reading it from an airport relaxes. The photo after every visit is the product; the watering is the excuse.

Personalize

• The visit. Exactly what one visit includes and how often you come. The photo update goes out the same hour, every time.
• The keys. Handed over in person, labeled with a code word instead of an address, kept at your home, returned by hand when the neighbor is back. Write the routine on the page.
• The rates. Per visit, set with a parent. A ten-day trip should have an obvious total.
• The proof. A sample photo update on the page, from a practice run at your own house or a relative's.

Milestones

1. Page live on day one: streets, rates, how updates work.
2. Practice run done at your own or a relative's house; the sample update made from it.
3. Key routine written and checked with a parent.
4. Page shared by mid-week with the neighbors who already know your family.
5. First trip covered start to finish: every visit done, every visit photographed.
6. Final README: trips covered, what a traveler asked before saying yes.

Done means

• Live URL responding; readable on a phone
• Honest-claims check passed: the sample update is from a run you did, the streets listed are ones you can reach daily
• Keys handled per the written routine: no address on the label, returned by hand
• First job or inquiry logged in SESSIONS.md, which has an entry per session, with a photo per visit
• Payment agreed before the trip and settled in person after
• Mail collected and held unopened
