My weekly win!

My weekly win that i want to share is finally getting the keys for my very first unit on Thursday and guests moving in on Monday morning! I think that’s a record! At least it is for me since it’s my first one. Feeling grateful 🙏🏾

Here’s the timeline.

Thursday

Collected the keys at 2.30pm as agreed, took meter readings, then did a live virtual fire risk assessment which took just over an hour. TIP: Following initial conversation, floor plans and videos were previously sent to the fire risk assessor ahead of time so he knew exactly what he was looking at. I had also purchased required items such as fire extinguisher, fire blanket, smoke alarms etc., as per his brief.

Friday

Professional deep clean done on the house. No corner of the house was left untouched. The hardest thing of all was cleaning the wooden blinds housed in the 6 foot windows of the house that has 10ft + high ceilings. The house has around 18 windows. As you can imagine that was a task and the full clean was finished around 9.30pm

Throughout the day the beds (2 super king size zip and links and 2 single beds) and mattresses were delivered, a brand new Fibre broadband installation took place and when I was able to leave the house I was running around buying last minute bits.

Saturday & Sunday

Set up team arrived Saturday morning with a van full of brand new furniture including a couple of upcycled items we’d been painting in my garden all week and between the 3 of us we: made up and dressed beds, hung pictures, put up missing blinds, missing lampshades, mirrors, put together flat pack stuff, a full smoke alarm system with heat sensors and Co monitor, dressed the table for dinner, completed final fire risk assessment which checked all the recommendations were now in place, more running around buying last minute bits. We were still setting up around the photographer when he arrived for the photo shoot but somehow everything magically fell into place.

Excited to see the finished pictures when ready which includes some aerial drone shots of the house.

Treated the team to a very well deserved steak dinner on Saturday night. Can’t thank them enough and would never have been able to get the job done without them.

The owner of the house dropped by on Sunday with family just as the drone was flying over her house. She absolutely loved what we’d done with her home and was all emotional saying she wanted to move back in. It was absolutely priceless seeing her get more animated with each room she saw. THAT absolutely made my day, but no chance of her moving back in as the family are moving to Australia for the foreseeable and have entrusted their home to yours truly.

Had a well deserved glass of wine from the table.

Monday

Our corporate guests checked in (self check in) and we are hosting them for the next 6 months so the winter months (low season - although that doesn’t really apply to corporate/contractor bookings) are covered.

They’re the bits I can remember. I’ve literally just come down from it all today. It’s truly knackering and intense but so satisfying and 100% worth it.. can’t wait to do the next one now !
