Closing Up

It doesn’t take long to safely close up when you leave, and you’ll find a checklist at the flat to guide you. But in case you need it, here are the basics.

  • In the Kitchen
    • finish or throw away perishable foods
    • take out all rubbish
    • empty Brighid, turn off, wipe down inside, and prop her doors open
    • turn off red wall switches for oven, hob, fan, and washer/dryer
    • leave washer/dryer door open
  • In the Courtyard
    • wipe down chairs and tables and bring them back into the kitchen
  • For Safety and Security
    • check all windows and doors are closed and locked
    • close kitchen blinds and almost completely close living room curtains
    • check electric outlets are turned off (except as labeled)
    • return boiler to original settings if they were changed (using Hive; instructions at flat)
