Oh, I've had lodgers since... late 2018. I figured the extra income would be good because my job isn't really that well paid. And the house is big, with an extra bathroom. Right now I have a guy from Latvia but sadly he's about to move out because his job moved to Glasgow. It's easy to find new people, though, since this is a university town.

Yes, agreed on the dismantling etc, it's a bit of a pain.
