Until this week, OurFamilyGrid assumed every household lived in exactly one house. That's true for most people, but not everyone — a second home, a rental you manage, a holiday cottage. There was nowhere to put that: garden, maintenance tasks and insurance policies were all just stamped with your household ID, with no idea two of them might belong to different addresses.
What's new
Households can now add extra properties (Household > Properties), each with a label and optional address. Garden, Home Maintenance and home-type Insurance (home, landlord, contents) each get a property switcher in the page header — but only once you actually have more than one property. If you've only ever had one house, you won't see a dropdown at all; everything behaves exactly as it did before.
What we deliberately left alone
This does not touch finance, the vault, shopping, meals, or anything else household-wide. Two houses under one roof (so to speak) still share one purse, one shopping list, one password vault. We're not modelling "two separate families" here — just "one family with more than one address." If we ever get a request to actually merge two independent households together, that's a different, much bigger feature, and not one we're building on the back of this.
Car, pet, life, phone, travel and other non-home insurance types also aren't tied to a property — a car doesn't live at a specific house in any way that matters here, so those policies show up regardless of which property you've got selected.
How it was rolled out
Every existing household got a "Main house" property created automatically, and every existing plant, maintenance task and home-type policy was silently attached to it in the same migration. Nobody had to do anything, and nothing moved or disappeared — we checked the real numbers after migrating: 15 households, 15 primary properties, zero orphaned rows on any of the three tables.
