I print out a piece of paper with the instructions and stick it on the fridge with neodymium magnets I made from the brass of 8 gauge shotgun shell hulls.

Even the largest owners of real estate in the country don’t do this, and they try and squeeze every penny That would be instructive if the largest real estate owners in the country don't do this.

I keep house instruction on every fridge of my 24 or so STRs.
