The cabin, Skein Lake

expired Fifteen years of things that ran out and were kept. The hearing aid warranty ended in March 2026 and the RAV4's basic warranty in May 2025.

near_duplicate Each current policy sits next to last year's. Peg has an old and a new passport. Two diamond solitaire rings, hers and her mother's. Old and new doses of the same drug. Two jewelry appraisals eight years apart, whose names no longer say which is current. Two years of the accountant's summary. The 2019 wills and the 2003 ones are both still in the grey box, per two notes. Not every expired policy is labelled as such any more; the dates say it.

two_of_a_kind Two houses, each with its own policy, deed, tax bills and contents. Each policy has its own rule about freezing while the place is empty, with different numbers. Three cars, one of them sold. Two dogs, one of them dead.

too_many Receipts (338), health records (77), bills (52), service receipts (38), warranties (31), vaccinations (28), mileage readings (26), electronics (26), jewelry (20). A question about "all" of any of these cannot be answered from a partial read; a good answer gives the whole list or says the list is partial.

only_in_file The facts kept in one file and nowhere else. The long-term care daily benefit ($272.27) is only on the schedule. The life policy's cash value is only on its statement. The cabin's wind deductible ($7,700) and its theft and tree limits are only on its declarations. The house policy's jewelry sublimit, water backup limit and the rule about leaving the house empty in winter (condition 6.4, on page 5 of 8) are only in the policy. Ray's LDL of 68 is only on the lab sheet. Adjusted gross income for 2025 ($116,640) and for 2024 ($109,870) is only in each year's summary. The truck's title number is only on the title (that there is no lien also follows from the purchase receipt's "no loan"). The value of Peg's IRA is only on its statement. The septic system's design and the county's three-year pumping rule are only on the permit.

only_in_file Facts that are in no record field but overlap across files, in different words. The appraised values of the Omega ($4,150) and the pearls ($1,900) are in the 2024 appraisal and on the valuables schedule; the 2016 appraisal has older figures. The successor trustees and the specific gifts are in the trust. What happens to the cabin is in the trust (sold), in the amendment that replaced that paragraph (kept by the three children; the saved amendment is a scan with no text) and in the lawyer's letter that explains the amendment. Ray's 2026 required withdrawal ($28,012.02) is on the IRA statement and in the advisor's letter, and the 2025 tax summary gives it as "about $28,000". The porch change order is in the contract; the receipt says only that the porch came in $800 over.

only_in_note Four facts kept strictly in a note. (1) The boats: hull, motor and registration numbers, in note-boats; the app has no record for a boat and no title or registration is saved. (2) The septic tank was last pumped on August 14, 2024, in note-cabin-closing; the permit gives only the three-year rule. (3) Where the two keys to the safe deposit box are and that Ellen is on the signature card, in note-accounts-and-box. (4) Their burial wishes (cremation, which space is whose, the hymns), in note-burial-plots. No longer only in a note, since the second pass: Ray's allergies (also in the 2019 discharge summary, the 2022 knee packet and the 2026 portal screenshot), the box number 417 and the monthly income (both on the August checking printout), the plots themselves (the cemetery certificate) and the well pump's breaker (the 2020 pump report).

only_in_note Facts that are still only in one everyday note after the second pass: the Gustafsons' gate code, the shed padlock, where the Christmas ornaments are, the dog's food and amount, Ray's sizes, the ice-out log from 2004, the main water shutoff, the septic alarm light, Hannah's dorm room, the way to the cabin, the lefse proportions, each lot's share of the plowing, and the size of the lake bedroom's screen. These were not scrubbed from other records on purpose; they are simply things written down once.

note_contradicts_record Two notes give different quantities of apples for the same batch of sauce, and nothing in the account settles which is right.

not_saved Ray has no birth certificate saved, though Peg has hers. No marriage certificate is saved. The boats are insured but have no title or registration saved. The RAV4 has no title document; the F-150 does, twice over. The CR-V's title was signed over without being copied. Neither will is scanned, nor Ray's health care power of attorney, nor any tax return, only the accountant's summaries for 2024 and 2025. None of the children's or grandchildren's SSNs or passports are saved. Why each is missing is under fact_sheet.missing.

only_in_file The other hard files. The trust amendment is a scan with no text layer. The 1986 deed is a faint copy of a typed deed, also without text: the names of the sellers were typed darker and are clear, while the price ($84,500.00) is very faint; the price is in no record or note. The portal page for Ray is a screenshot, and its last section (the next appointment) is below the edge of the picture. The bunkhouse contract has the printed one-year workmanship warranty struck out and "two years" written in and initialled. The truck's title is saved twice: a clean PDF, and a telephone photograph with glare across the title number and the left edge cut.

mismatch Paragraph 7.2 of the 2019 trust says the cabin is to be sold. The 2023 amendment replaced that paragraph: the cabin goes to the three children, cannot be sold for five years unless all agree, and $60,000 is set aside for it. The amendment is right. The trust also names five grandchildren for the $15,000 gifts; the amendment makes it every grandchild, so June is included.

mismatch Printed term: workmanship warranted for one year from completion (to June 20, 2026, now over). Written over it and initialled N.L. and R.C.O.: two years (to June 20, 2027). The handwritten change is the agreement. Nothing else in the account mentions it, and no warranty record exists for the bunkhouse.

mismatch The pump report gives the well as 96 feet deep with the pump set at 82 feet. The receipt says "pump at 82 feet", and a note calls the well "82 feet". The report is right; the others are shorthand.

near_duplicate A current code next to a dead one. The garage code was changed in October 2023, and the cabin's old Wi-Fi was disconnected in May 2024 when the Starlink went up.

expired Passcodes that open nothing now: the garage code used until October 2023, the Wi-Fi that was disconnected in May 2024, and the condo's door code for the 2026 stay, which the owner changes for every tenant.

note_contradicts_record The note, written from memory, gives Earl's number as 715-555-0114. His contact record has 715-555-0104. The record is right.

note_contradicts_record The note, written from memory, says the dock went in in June 2015 and its frame is covered until 2030. The receipt and the warranty say June 14, 2014 and 2029. The records are right.
