Early in the Morning

Some of you might be wondering what a day in the house is like. These are some of the Daily Tasks the staff must do each and everyday.

7:45 Feed the dogs
8:00 - 8:30 Breakfast prep and service for Mr. P
9:00 Walk the grounds
10:00 Clean coffee service

The rest of the day is filled with Administration, Housekeeping, Culinary, Clothing & Laundry, Entertainment, Maintenance, Property & Grounds, Travel & Transportation, Safety and Protection and Personal Care for the Ps, their guests and pets.

For instance, I market for each property once or twice a week (culinary). House bills are recorded and paid once per week or more (administration). The houseman is tasked with priority projects once per week (maintenance). You get the point.
