Maintenance
House cleaning
Trimming of the rusty iron bolts where the old ladder was attached the jetty.
Filling up of the water tank.It’s full. The pump has been running for 11 hours. This needs to be done every 8/9 days. We have been here for a week and we never used the generator even if the pump worked for so long. Thanks to the solar panels. They are working really well but it’s really important to keep them cleaned all the time. It works and it’s free.
Guy finished to empty the house tanks barrels
