Utilities and Safety

Please be aware that this rental unit has NOT been childproofed.   If you have small children, be sure all dangerous materials have been removed from their reach, especially from the closets, cabinets, and drawers.   In particular, note that the small parts in the Pirate’s Cove treasure chests could pose a choking hazard.   If small children are present, please stow the two smaller treasure boxes safely out of reach.  Safety electrical outlet covers and a night light are stored in the kitchen junk drawer if you need them.

The master electric box is in the kitchen.  Spare fuses are in the junk drawer in the kitchen.

Before you turn on any of the electric baseboard heaters, be certain that the bedding is NOT touching the heater because they get very hot and could start a fire.

A fire extinguisher is installed on the wall in the closet of the bathroom.  The lighter for starting the fireplace and/or gas grill is stored above the kitchen sink (out of children’s reach).

Smoke detectors are installed everywhere.  There is a spare battery in the kitchen junk drawer if you should need it.
