Overheard when our AirBnB guests departed:
Chairman: "I'm going to have to time you on how long it takes you to do an AirBnB changeover, like the Formula 1 teams, and work on how we can strip the time down to the minimum by eliminating unnecessary operations.
It didn't go down too well.
We're really getting into this AirBnB thing though. Our AirBnB room is proving quite popular, albeit with the Covid situation. I have suggested Hay make up some fliers for the local elderly care homes - most of our guests live well out of the area and come to see parents in the local care homes.
Some of the places available on AirBnB are ridiculous - and even more ridiculously priced because of it. Sheds seem to attract a high premium and, the worse the state, the higher the premium. Quirky names seem to sell well too.
We have an old shed that No.1 Son used when he came to stay with us when we lived in the caravan while building the house. It has electricity (not always a prerequisite) and is insulated with 75mm of polystyrene (sheer decadence for some) - it was attached to the caravan and he lived in it for 3 years. It's now a bit dilapidated and used by my brother-in-law as his drum practice shed. I could evict him and put it on AirBnB as "The Drum Shed". Nice, quirky name.
I'm trying to persuade Hay that we should rent out our motorhome when we're not using it - not as a motorhome, but as a static in our top par park. It can be hooked up to one of the cabins and water is readily available. We could easily get £50 a night for it.
We could even rent out a carboard box on our doorstep for that real, Spartan, homeless experience and make a killing.
Renters would be provided with a dog and a guitar and kicked out every morning at 7am after being hosed down, only being allowed to return when they've managed to beg the requisite, and very high rental fee for the next night.
