Learning to live our best lives. Exploring the many paths to financial happiness.
Before we posted our Airbnb we had a lot of questions about what the Airbnb hosting experience was going to be like. I would like to give you a peek under-the-hood and show you exactly the kind of feedback and data the Airbnb platform provides. Stats are the star of this post. Here we go!
This little project has been quite the adventure. Here are the complete before and after side-by-sides. For those who have followed our journey as it happened, this is a tidy little recap. For those HGTV junkies who are just joining… this should scratch the itch. Nothing like skipping to the end of the episode for the before/after shots 😉
We are closing in! Here is the status: We are in the finishing touches, I single handedly cleared a Wayfair warehouse, and I think I am ready to move in! Everything is coming together and almost dead on with the budget and we hope to be live in a few weeks!
We have busy over here in Airbnb land. Here is what has happened in the past month:
We got a floor guy! We also returned our solid bamboo flooring for engineered click bamboo flooring (at his request). The price was very comparable and Yuri assured me the floating floor will do better in a Pennsylvania climate. Kasey and I have been checking things off the list that are nice to do when you have a floor that you do not have to be careful with. I splurged and got myself an orbital sander for refinishing floating shelves and the kitchen table I made (Kasey argued that it only invites more projects); I sanded and shellacked the kitchen shelves which are looking great. We also hung shelves, mirrors, towel hooks in the bathroom, updated a few electrical switches, hung a door to the basement, painted some left over things like door frames and added a new key button entry to the back door.
