What to do on leaving: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:16, 23 March 2010

We will edit this page remotely so that it applies to the particular group using the cottage.

Close all the windows.
Turn off all the storage heaters except the one in the lounge, which should be left on low.
Turn off the convector heater part of the storage heater in the lounge and the "log burner" in the small lounge.
Make sure everything electrical in the hide-away is off, apart from the string of yellow and orange lights, and lock the door.
If using the dish washer start it well in advance so that it completes its cycle before you leave; the "quick wash" setting is best for this.
Empty the fridge of perishable food.
Take any vegetable waste to the compost heap.
Take other rubbish to the wheelie bin at the bottom of the hill, near the greenhouses.
Lock the doors and post the keys back to 446.
Switch the immersion heater and bathroom heater off.
Turn off the water at the stop cock in the cupboard under the sink - we are having trouble with dripping overflows so please do this even in the summer.
