I doubt I would want to rent my home out to strangers either, but I know some people do it, so thought I'd ask. If you could keep your eyes/ears open when you go back, that would be great. We will probably be there Dec thru March or April and will be doing a lot of work on our place in the West End, so need a safe, comfortable place to stay until it's move-in ready.
I guess you're not experiencing the water shortage out there? That's another problem with the W. End. I did hear that the Government is talking about laying new pipes in several parishes, including Westmoreland, but as we know, it can be years from "talk" to actually doing anything.
Glad you have someone trustworthy living there when you're not there - that's so important. Thanks for replying, LR!
