Anyone ever been a caretaker? In Montana?
What was your job description?
I work in the Yellowstone club for the summer part time. Not for the YC however. Property management, but caretake a number of places. I do walkthroughs/inspections every 2 weeks, set-up arrivals (replace light bulbs, check hot tubs, make sure everything works,etc.), departures (turn off lights after folks leave, shut blinds, turn down heat/AC, clean out fridge..score!), take out left over trash, clean patios, stash patio furniture, etc. Pretty easy, but every situation is different. Lots of setting up service calls for stuff I can't fix, troubleshooting overly complicated A/V systems, etc.
Besides the food the biggest score of the summer was going through the lost and found stash our company has had for years, amazing the stuff people leave behind.
Drive slow, homie.
Yeah, I was one. There was no job description. He said, "are you a hippie, you look like one?" I replied that I was just a skier. He gave me his house. I had to ski down to the lift. He showed up once in the two years that I lived there. He just wanted someone there in case...well in this case...if an avi hit his house...which it did. I was not paid, just free rent.
Depends on the situation.
I have friends who have done the live in Caretaker deal and it has worked out well.
Others, the client was so needy and demanding it wasn't worth the free/reduced rent.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.
