We have had the same people for I think 4 years now. Before that it's been anywhere from just a year or two to our 1st renters who went down there for 5-6 years I think.

How much do you charge for a week and do you do any shorter term rentals?

For the winter it is a monthly charge. You would have to ask my wife how much that is. She handles all that stuff.

We rented to some non retired people for a few months one time. It was a disaster. We would not likely rent on a weekly basis unless it was someone we knew. That would have to be negotiated I guess.

I think you need to have a GTG down there Jay. We could work on the Buick or did you sell it?

We sold the Buick a couple years ago. But we could have everyone come down as long as it isn't during the winter.

My brother lives in Peoria so I was thinking if we ever got enough money together to go see them then it might be an option to rent a place if we were going to be there more than a few days

Evening fellow frozen people...

Well, it seems my girlfriend has the death sickness that is going around. I just got over the flu, I really don't want whatever she has now.


I may consider a bubble suit. It is tempting...
