    Therapy, Hobby, or Just Plain Mean

    You can add in the obligatory "Did you fill in your travel insurance claim form?" when they complain about not being able to get their money back when cancelling.

    10 Nights From Germany. Yeah, Right!

    When is this for? Did you check that the card number traces back to Germany?

    Newbie Question: Why would they stay at $175-$200 a night inn when they can stay in entire AirBNB apartment for $110 a night?

    My kitchen was the butler's pantry. I have maybe 2m of counterspace for working and I put things up on the breakfast bar as extra space. Everything is doable... you just have to get used to working in a small space. But the coffeemaker, hot water, etc are all in the dining room. That's a...

    Another question about a crazy guest

    That's what she's doing. Doesn't realize you aren't actually checking them. That's why we have a deposit, with BK... it stopped immediately.

    Newbie Question: Why would they stay at $175-$200 a night inn when they can stay in entire AirBNB apartment for $110 a night?

    Air is exactly the opposite of a vacation for me. Couldn't make it any worse. I'm on vacation... last thing I want to do is worry about everything, clean after myself and have to be my own concierge. I'm on vacation. I'm not cooking. I'm not cleaning. I'm not worrying about if I left the place...

    Tesla shrine

    That's what I didn't understand... they provided them! The tech that installed took photos. They had to send the tech back because Tesla insisted on metal conduit when they had used plastic. He took photos and sent them the second time. And still, can't get it listed.

    Tesla shrine

    They keep on putting up these weird hoops. Heck, they even asked us for the S/N of the units. Photos, etc. We are on plugshare. I made sure. I put up pictures as well. They are inside our garage, so you can't just drive up and plug in.

    Tesla shrine

    We can't get Tesla to list us on their destination chargers... in spite of themselves... I mean, the guy at Tesla who got us into the program can't get them to actually listen to him that we have them installed. Well... at least we have them and advertise them ourselves (and use it for our own...

    Is it endless hard work? Feel like a constant burden to keep up with?

    Set limits. We installed keypads that we can program from anywhere in the house. We use the last 4 digits of their phone number as the code. Same for their room. We have honed the written instructions to the point of where we don't worry about it... but we do, a bit. And for that reason, we have...

    Is it endless hard work? Feel like a constant burden to keep up with?

    It is 7 days a week and unless you put your foot down and set boundaries, all encompassing. It's not a 5 day 40 hour job, at all. No... I go away on vacation to rest and rejuvenate. But vacation time is a lot more sacred here. We generally got a month off. Our lowest months were January and...

    Is it endless hard work? Feel like a constant burden to keep up with?

    I have 6 rooms and I do it all myself, off-season, with one exception, the BIG clean. For the BIG clean once a week, I have someone who comes in. And that's the person who checks everything, ensures I never have a dust bunny, dusts the top of the artwork, etc. But in the summer, high season...

    Looking up

    It's so quiet, I have one reservation on the books. We also still have 2 rooms closed, because we are only doing private bath at the moment. And I think I hear a mouse squeaking, it's so quiet. At least I'm getting paid $500 a week while it's quiet.

    Wow... how different a border makes things. No one is booking here. No one is planning vacations. Especially to the city.

    Help with bedding

    We keep 2 extra in the room, in pillowcases, in bags, so that the guests can use them if they need to. The plastic bag is so that we know that they used them. We keep a few extra around, but not much more. I can always order and have them delivered in a day or two. I only buy washable pillows...

    An International Elopement

    Hmmm... how did they get to the US at the moment. The land borders are closed.

    How to - new website

    That's where I got my theme. I was on Karma. Well, they decided to move to Elementor, but there is no upgrade path, you have to do it yourself... Well, if I have to recreate everything, then maybe it's time to look at others... And so we went with another theme. I can still go back to Karma, but...

    How to - new website

    I actually had my provider help by copying the website and making a new version called dev.website.xxx. I uploaded the theme there and screwed up everything and started building. I say screwed up everything, but really the problem is.... the shortcodes were made for the previous website. I'm...
