Airbnb invoice pdf for Research and Development

so I'm going to show you some of the stuff that I do on a weekly basis to not only make the guest experience as special as possible but also increase my profit margins while operating I'm also going to be meeting my concrete contractor as soon as we get out to the property and giving you guys a sneak peek at two new projects that are coming down the line here so we just got out to the property and we're going to be starting with the Pacific bin and running through my checklist of things to keep this thing running and have the stays as special as possible first thing I do is I check the hot tubs and that is disgusting we just had uh we just had a really big party stay here at the home so I was kind of figuring that we'd have to be doing a hot tub dump so we're going to go get the pump and change out this hot tub scrub it and get it all sparkl and clean for the next guest real quick before we go grab the pump for the hot tubs we're going to go check in on the cedar Hollow and see how the cleaners did and just make sure that everything is in line for the guests just doing a hot lap through the home making sure all the surfaces are clean all the pillows look all nice and fluffy this little stuff makes the difference you know and then I never know how to throw a throw blanket so we're just going to leave it like that wow looks great hot tubs are seriously the biggest pain in the butt but this Jacuzzi hot tub is actually staying really stinking clean I'm really impressed with the filtration system and I will only be getting Jacuzzi hot tubs at my future short-term rentals also I just switched over to these little uh smart chlorine um like chemical balls that disperse chlorine throughout the tub and I'm just now trying these out so we'll see if I actually like them and then we're going to check on the cold plunge cold plunge looks great I think when we go run out and bring the garbage out we're going to grab a bunch of bags of ice to drop the temps in the cold plunge makes it so you have the ultimate cold plunge experience and then we'll go pop over to the sauna but sauna looks great everything's been wiped down the bowl set here I like to keep the bowl out of the water just so it doesn't get water logged and yeah SAA looks good all all the little ferns are coming out for Springtime oh oh yeah all these little guys starting to bloom yeah it's kind of hard to see them in the camera all right let's go grab the pump I like one of the biggest myths behind owning and running airbnbs is that it's just like buy home set it and forget it and it just starts printing you money that's not the case at all I'm out here at least once a week doing all these little fine-tune details that really make the stay special plus doing stuff like changing the hot tub myself taking out the garbage all that adds that little bit of margin helps me be able to drop prices if I have to stoke up demand 350 gallon tank so we're going to do 6 oz and it looks like this guest also must have had way more people in than they should have so we've dumped out a ton of water so I got to add a little water there's one in the middle of the forest we got all these little Cottonwood sticky saplings I guess and the only way to get them off is using this isopropyl alcohol guests have messaged me in the past me like it looks like poops on your hot tub but no this stuff if you just put some isopropyl alcohol it gets it to come right off but the sap can look a little scary to guess but it's not poop just let that soak in so to cash in on that extra margin and just save myself money and expenses I do all the hot tub cleanings myself cuz I'm OCD and want things super clean a normal hot tub dump and refresh and clean out all the pipes like 500 bucks or $4 to $500 this what I've been quoted by a couple people in the area so I figure I might as well just learn how my tub Works super well in that way I know how to take perfect care of the tub while keeping that extra 5 600 bucks in my pocket all right you're going to want to skip forward in the video like 15 seconds if you're squeamish but this is what the deep clean solution does that we run through the pipes every 3 to 4 months to get rid of bofilm and it gets this nasty like so so gross but this is the right way to take care of your hot tub every couple months you got to do this and I guarantee you most hosts don't do this I'm always a little weary hopping in other people's hot tubs especially now I know the proper way to maintain your hot tub pump out the tub now that we got all the bofilm skimmed off the top like to water my tree then these are those little sticky things that guests keep thinking our poop spots they're not poop they're from the saplings just a little bit of isopropyl alcohol and they all just disappear not poop now one of the really nice things and annoying things is that this is a saltwater tub which means it's a little harder to maintain but it's a way nicer salt it's literally just sea salt no other chemicals 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 I'll just add a little chlorine to get it up to up to the levels it should be it makes its own natural chlorine by taking the the salt so Na and it runs it through an electrolyzer which breaks apart the NAC which is pretty much just giving you natural chlorine so it's like an endless loop of chlorine okay so then a little bit of urine just to really clear things up a bit I'm just kidding that's a that's stain and scale stain and scale makes it so that any minerals in the water hit the filter bays and they stay in the filter well the tub's filling up here we're going to go pop over to the back and I'll go explain the barn dominium project before we get to the rest of the video I do have to thank the sponsor which is Factor as most of you know Factor has been sponsoring the channel for over 9 months now and you all know that I a huge fan of Factor before Factor even started sponsoring the channel I was subscribed and getting their meals on a weekly basis meals not only taste incredible but it saves me so much time working a full full-time job Building Homes and running two airbnbs now I have a pretty full place so all Factor meals are dietician approved and they have over 35 weekly options I've been getting on the Protein Plus game is I've been trying to put on a couple pounds and get that summer body ready for the warm summer hikes out here in Washington with Factor meals only taking 2 minutes to prepare it's a game changer for those of you that have crazy unpredictable schedules so for example the other night an Airbnb guest hit me up trying to figure out how the sauna worked but they weren't able to figure it out so I ended up just heading out there and on my way back home when I would normally go get fast food just because it was really late at night I knew I had a couple Factor meals sitting in the fridge so I was able to just get home pop them in the microwave not have to wait like 30 minutes if I were cooking a meal or something and then I had a dietitian approved healthy meal ready to eat one of my Springtime goals is to be hitting the gym hard getting that summer body back in shape which actually works out perfect because I got on Factor's Protein Plus meal program where they have all sorts of fet Manan Chi Chicken shrimp and just those really protein High meals that help to feed hungry muscles the factor not only cuts down on trips to the grocery store is super flexible that I can adjust my order size on a weekly basis makes it easy to stick to my goals and helps me to keep

is going to be the spot where the next Project's going to be I didn't show you guys this when I was wrapping up the cedar Holo but I did end up clearing out this last section of land on my property this is the third and final part to fully developing the site front of the property we have the Pacific bin and the other Corner we have the cedar Hollow we're going to have am& I's barndominium like Cedar Hollow massive garage hybrid sort of thing we're still trying to figure out what to call it what it's going to be is a 32 Deep by 65 foot wide garage and then inside of the garage we're going to have a twostory system so I'll have my office and EM will'll have her own little room upstairs and we'll also have a big area downstairs where we'll have this south facing wall be the main feature so it'll feel a little more livable for people living there fulltime the rough layout of this is going to be really similar to the cedar Hollow mainly cuz that floor plan just works really well these logs on the ground make up the dimensions of the home so this will be the corner right here and it'll go 65 ft off that way 32 ft off this way this will be our bedroom we'll have the bathroom right over here you have a little door that slides in here and it'll walk you into the living room where we'll have a kitchen lining there maybe an island here living space and then like a dining area over there and then all of this right here will sort of thin out the forest a little bit have have a 10-ft deck and this will be your view working our way over here you'll have a door that opens up and this I guess will be the front door to the house you'll have like a main garage door entry that you walk in and then you'll walk into the front door of the house and then we're going to have two 12T garage doors here we might even throw one on that side too just get like some cross Breeze going on those nice like warm summer days but we're going to go all out with the lighting in this garage and have cool looking LEDs for when the Cyber truck eventually gets here and probably even build a little upstairs mezzanine area which will be for like working out we're not going to be kicking this off until the end of the summer and the build will really start ramping up through the winter as I'm hoping to get the steel structure and the concrete all wrapped up before the rainy season hits this year nice work boo that one okay so we're back at the bin now I just like to do a quick little pass before the guest checks in the cleaners always do a fantastic job but just as my OCD inner host I like to make sure everything's perfect so especially when I'm changing the hot tub and the hot tub won't be warm till probably around 9 or 10:00 at night I like to drop off the guest a bottle of wine and write them a little personal note here just saying like hey sorry the hot tub's not warm but hope this wine makes up for it or whatever um but guests typically really appreciate having sparkly clean water for the morning or late at night so I haven't had any problems with the hot tub not being 100% back up to heat with guest checking in at four to do a quick pass through the home just making sure that everything is perfectly in line sometimes they even read through the Pacific bins guest book I just like hearing how people like enjoy the day spent so much time building this thing I'm glad to see people are enjoying it do all the little details like make sure that these guys are all tucked in windows are locked that also helps with our Energy bill and then one thing I've been doing lately I have my cleaners take this iPhone that's left at the Home in the host closet and they record a video it takes like a it's like a 90c video of the entire home just showing the condition it was left in so that way if a guest messages me like oh this wasn't in line or that wasn't right I can access the video from this it's in a shared album with my phone so I can be all the way back in Seattle and see exactly how the home was left so it's really nice for being able to direct guests in the right direction and also send them videos like oh no this is actually the condition it was in so sort of safeguards for any of those like iffy guesss but 99% of the guess day here have been awesome the cleaners did an awesome job in here let's go pop upstairs real quick so then I do little stuff like make sure that the thermostats are up up here cuz the heat rises and it just we don't need to waste that excess heat like little marks on the wall I don't know I'm just I'm just pretty OCD so I like a really like perfect looking home so we also flip on the dehumidifiers cuz these little rooms do get kind of humid when people are sleeping in here so we do the same thing in this bedroom over here make sure the deu is on looks like it's ripping any I don't know just little marks on the wall everything looks great in here all like this little stuff make sure that all of these window shades are fully drawn so you just are welcomed with this really cool view of the forest so we'll go pop into the bathroom real quick countertops look great bathroom looks great as well and I like to leave this door open so that all the humid air can get sucked out of the bathroom yeah everything looks great let's go check on the hot tub all right one plus side with Teslas is that the front can also double as a hot tub spa so we're going to go test the water and make sure it's all good for the guest checking in here in like an hour look at that sparkling clean water now the Jets have run a little bit some of the needles got in so we're going to skim it test the water and we should be good to go while we're waiting for the hot tub salt system to kick on we're going to go take out all the garbage now okay taking out the garbage so cleaners charge 10 bucks per home to take the garbage out and I figured if I just got a trailer and run it out to the dump every other week or every week I'll save myself a couple bucks there we're going to go grab the trailer and load up the garbage it's one of my least favorite jobs but also cleaners don't want to throw bags of garbage in their cars to go take to the dump so saves US money and saves them a mess in their car before I actually take out the garbage I'm going to go leave a bottle of wine and a nice little note at the cedar Hollow speak because when I'm out here I like to treat the guests you know my lovely little wine stock all right there we go nice little note so I haven't showed you guys the guest book for the cedar Holo yet and I went all out with this thing it cost me almost $900 Cedar Holo all like gold edged I made up this little logo in Photoshop but then you have like all the information you need for operating the home all the house rules checkout information and this is the cool part for guests because they have each one of the amenities of the home and a little QR code so all they have to do is like say for example the grill like they want to figure out how The Grill Works then click you just scan that little code welcome to the grill out at the cedar Hollow so the grill is fairly straightforward the 90c little video like walking through like what to watch out for like where the extra propane tanks are and all the little details it's something that keeps my messages down I feel like guests don't want to constantly be messaging the host asking for something and you have that lag time in between so it makes every everything more streamlined we also have all of the like experiences which I actually took this photo here this is out in the southside of Mount rineer and you can do the helicopter tour and you can scan this video to see one of the the helicopter tours where you get picked up at the property and then Tak it out into the mountains for a fun Little Mountain Adventure skiing at Steven's Pass whitewater rafting and then there's a ton of different hikes so these are all a bunch of stunning hikes throughout the area some cool hikes they show the length elevation distance from the home and a couple photos from from each one of the hikes so it's kind of fun we also have all the food options in there and then just a bunch of cool photos oh and a little discount code for people that want to come back you can save 10% if you come back and stay on the property using this QR code and then we just have a whole bunch of cool photos of the home and I even threw a couple photos of the bin at the end this is the kind of stuff that makes you stand apart from the rest now let's go do the poopy work and take out the garbage oh always blows my mind how quick these garbage cans fill up yuck $20 there you go on our way back from the dump I like to grab a couple bags of ice and deep freeze deep freeze the cold plunge because I don't want any guests getting some Luke cold water in their cold plunge right and there we go water's nice and clean what's that right now 45 we'll get that back to the 30s well that's pretty much it for everything that I do on a weekly basis out here at the Pacific bin in Cedar Hollow this just going to be so cold wow look at that that's so cold all right guys that's pretty much it for everything that I do on a weekly basis out here at the cedar Hollow in Pacific bin thanks so much for following along this is a it's a it's a fun little journey that we're on here bunch of cool builds coming down the line and seriously every like And subscribe really does help it doesn't fun much but puts food on the table once or twice a week so I appreciate
