Julian has informed me that the website and blog require migrating to a new server, as the old server is no longer supported by the hosting company.

This will begin on Monday 25th May. He hopes that this will run smoothly, but there is the potential for some disruption of service for a period of 2-3 days after commencement.

The new water mains has been completed between No.4 and 22.

The Palm Trees have received two treatments for the Beetle attacks with one more to go. All Chemicals used are as specified by the Cabildo. The treatment will last for 3 years before being repeated.

Brian

We are replacing the existing water mains pipe from the rear of No.22 to the path adjacent to no.4. We have experienced two slight leaks recently in the old mains pipe.

The TV and WiFi upgrades are proceeding and the project should be complete in the next few weeks.

Brian

There will be some disruption to the TV and WiFi system from
17.4.2015 To 25.4.2015.

This is due to the upgrading of the system.

The disruption will be during the working day. The extent of the disruption is unclear at this time, but if we get further information we will update the blog.

Brian

The new communications room floor is currently being tiled ready for our new system to be installed.

Another Lorry load of Picon has been delivered and is currently being spread on to gardens.

We have decided to start watering overnight as well as during the day. The reason for this is that some days we have very little pressure as we share the system with others. At night we anticipate a more consistent flow, which should be beneficial to all, and especially to the T’s and V’s which are at the end of the irrigation runs.

A builder painting on the Ts and Vs, using external plastic paint, has been washing out his brushes in the Community Shower. Please make sure any “Tradesmen” you use do not use Community Property in this way.

The swimming Pool heat pump near Los Amigos has broken down again. We will ascertain the problem and repair as soon as possible.

An update to the previous blog message

We have just visited the Barcello Hotel to check that all is ready for tomorrow, and they have now told us that we will be in the Manrique Room after all!
Sorry for any confusion

Brian

This is just to let you all know that this years AGM at Barcello will now be held in the Dali Room instead of the Manrique room.

Brian

We have now installed over 200 meter of Cat 5 Cable ( computer network cable). This is running from our new computer/TV room to the first amplifier adjacent to No.81.This will enable us to remove all of our equipment from the current TV room and have it all under one roof. When the move is carried we expect some disruption to the system for 2 – 3 days

Once the move is complete we intend to divide current wifi users equally between the three current adsl lines. Presently the lines are not equally shared.

AGM at Barcello – This years AGM may be moved from the Manrique room to the Dali Room subject to the staff being unable to prepare the Manrique room in time owing to a booking the previous day.

For several weeks now, we have been attempting to have installed recycling bins for Plastic and Cardboard adjacent to the Basura behind Los Amigos. We are currently “in the system” and awaiting their arrival.

Brian

The Palm Tree Pruning is now nearing completion.

2 loads of Picon have been bought and spread on the Gardens with one more load to buy to complete our current requirements.

We have now completed fumigation of all areas of Zone D against cockroaches etc.

For several weeks now the internet has been inconsistent. It has become clear on speaking to other people outside of Playa Bastian that this is a wider problem with Telefonica.
