Arriving & Warming Up the House

Once you arrive at KT Villa, follow these steps to unlock the house, get the car ready if needed, and turn on the heating and water systems.

1. The Keys and Doors

On the primary front-facing door, there is a wooden shelf at the top of the stairs. Attached to the shelf is a key lockbox. Enter the code (provided by Keith) and you will find two sets of door keys inside.

Additionally, inside the garage there is a garage door opener located near the door on top of a small breadbox. You can use this to enter and exit through the garage.

2. Getting the Car Started

Depending on when in the season you arrive, the car battery may need a jump. Find the portable car jump-starter (on the living room bookshelf) and connect the colored clamps to the matching battery terminals.

3. Warming Up the House & Water

When no one is in the house for a few days, three systems are turned off to prevent frozen pipes:

1. The main gas heating panel
2. The water pump
3. The hot water heater

Turn all three on when you arrive so the house warms up and running water is restored.

This is the main heating control panel. Turn on all three buttons to activate the gas heating system, and leave the thermostat dial where it is.

Next, turn on one or more of the individual room heater boxes to circulate warm air into the rooms:

On each brown heater box, you can set the fan strength and heat level independently.

Turn on this general water pump switch so water flows to all faucets and showers.

Finally, turn on the hot water heater panel so you can enjoy hot showers and warm water at the sinks.
