Can we bring a dog?
Two dogs, $60 each for the stay, told to us before you arrive rather than found on the camera at the alley gate. The side yard has a gate, not a dog-proof fence, so a dog that digs or jumps should not be left out there alone. Dogs are not allowed on the beds; we charge the cleaning of a bedspread at cost if they are.

The old unit held 82°F on a bad day. The new one holds 78°F and costs us $41 a month more to run.

What March water did to the basement
Four inches through the alley door. The boiler was fine, the washing machine was not.
