Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
My home is not a rental and so as it is our home we would expect that our belongings be treated with respect and ignored if not necessary for use. Specific special items will be stored in specific identified locations including an unused bedroom. We expect similar attitude with our exchange partner and family.
No excessive yard work is anticipated but it would be nice to keep potted plants watered as necessary. The swimming pool will be left in good, clean condition ready for use with sufficient chemicals for normal use. The swimming pool is to be maintained by the exchangee and left in same condition as found upon arrival.
There are to be no other occupants in my home other than as agreed in written exchange agreement.
My car will be cleaned, serviced, and ready for use with a full tank of fuel.Unless discussed and agreed, it will not be driven a distance greater six hours from my home and not used for more than a reasonable overall distance.
