So razz, do you interview and vet your renters? Lady i work for goes through a comprehensive interview and vetting process, and if anything is the least bit suspicious she wont rent the house. My duties in retirement are just to maintain the spas and i do some creative spying always at a different time. Sometimes more than once. My owner has an excellent nose for funny business, i can put you two in touch if you like...

Oh man, Raz. That is so disheartening to hear. These homes are opened up to them to enjoy for the holidays and there’s just no respect anymore. What is the matter with people these days? Sorry it’s impacting you and your holidays, Raz. Chin up and look out for the good folks as we are here for you.

Been bit by the Grinch Bug bad. why why why do we keep doing this to ourselves every major holiday. I used to justify the BS by telling myself it was worth seeing the eventual smiles and thank yous. Not cutting it any more as it seems no one really cares. 3 fully trashed cabins w/major repairs to start the day off with. (really big sigh). Hope everyone makes it in safely tonight
