[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a house on the Cape (Cod). We have a caretaker for the off season who checks on the house once a week.  We leave the heat on low in the winter so have highish utility bills for a couple of months. We have a landscaper.  We have a housecleaner in the summer (in addition to the housecleaner in DC, who we pay year round). There are periodic repairs (hot water heater, kitchen appliances, etc.), although we haven't had anything big happen in 10 years.

We basically live there in the summer so yes we are doing laundry or whatever but we would have to do laundry if we were home, or if we returned from a week long vacation somewhere.  Unlike the PP, that doesn't bother me.  I actually consider it more of a second home than a vacation home- we do go on vacations to other places.[/quote]

Hey everyone: she does her own laundry so, there's that. [/quote]

Huh?? I was only commenting on another post that you have to do "projects" and chores like laundry at both houses. I have not found that to be an issue because we would do laundry or grocery shopping or whatever no matter where we are.[/quote]
