Many people often
wonder when renting a home, how old are the sheets, are all the appliances
working, do the owners really take care of the house? We take pride in
our home and work hard at keeping it up to date and everything in good
working order. Below you will see descriptions and dates of all the
work we have done on the house including big items like painting the
exterior and small items like replacing the sheets. I hope this gives
you confidence that you are renting a great house!
June 2010:
We replaced a bike seat on one of the bikes and a wheel on one of the bikes.
We changed out all the locks on the doors and fixed a few doorknobs on some
of the interior doors. We replaced half the towels with new ones.
We changed out two of the blinds upstairs for new blinds. We bought a
bunch of grill scrapers as the grill gets lots of use during the summer.
The house is ready for summer renters!
March 2010:
We had all 5 bikes tuned up and ready for the summer season. We also
have several tire tubes at the house in case there are any tire punctures.
We purchased 2 new sets of sheets for the queen bed and the king bed (4 sets
total). We bought a bunch of new lightbulbs to make sure there are
replacements available if a bulb burns out. Also bought laundry
detergent, dishwasher detergent, filled up all the spices, replaced the
batteries in the smoke detectors and fire
starters.
November 2009:
We replaced all the windows in the house! This helps keep you
nice and warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. It also helps
conserve electricity!
July 2009:
We replaced both slip covers for our couches.
May
2009: We were able to spend a
whole week here and introduce our baby daughter to the Sunriver area!
We bought all new towels as well as a new king size and new queen size sheet
sets. We added an outdoor thermometer to the deck, so it's nice to see
the temp before you go outside! We replaced one of the blinds in the
living room and put new door knobs on both of the bedrooms. We
replaced the kitchen faucet as the old one was looking pretty dated.
We filled up all the spices, bought more coffee filters and coffee and added
a new set of tupperware. We added two more outdoor chairs for the deck
for a total of 6 adult and 1 child chair. We bought more tennis balls
as all of ours had disappeared. We replaced all the batteries in the
smoke detectors. We also purchased a new sledge for
cutting the large firewood down for kindling. We had had one before
but it seems to have walked off at some point.

lamps to the living room. The lamps and end tables were made by our
awesome furniture makers in Sunriver (www.sunriverrusticfurniture.com)
