Your Support is Essential

As we continue to maintain and enhance our community spaces, we rely on the generosity of our
members to support these vital projects. Your contributions help us ensure that our facilities remain
safe, welcoming, and functional for everyone. Below is a list of current and upcoming maintenance
needs.

Common Area Improvements

  • Garden Lighting Replacement (60 lights in total)
    The harsh Tenerife climate has taken a toll on our current garden lights, and many have
    reached the end of their useful life. We plan to replace all 60 lights with high-quality,
    durable fixtures that can withstand moisture and aging. This is not just about aesthetics—
    safe, well-lit paths are essential for the well-being of our community. We aim to complete
    this project in 2025.
  • Central Walkway (Cafeteria to Gonpa)
    To improve safety and accessibility, we need to repave the central walkway from the
    Cafeteria to the Gonpa. The current paving has worn down over time, and new paving will
    provide a safer and smoother path for all.
  • Pathway Between Meriger House and Tségyalgar House
    Currently, this path is unpaved, and during rainy weather, it becomes muddy and difficult to
    navigate. Paving this section is essential for safety and ease of movement.
  • Main Fence Renovation
    The materials required for this project are affordable, but the work will be labor-intensive.
    We need to replace parts of the main fence and carry out bamboo work and painting. This
    project will take several weeks.
  • Sewage Pipe Repair
    There are cracks in the sewage pipe shaft that need urgent repair to prevent further damage.
    Ensuring the proper functioning of our plumbing systems is vital for the health and comfort
    of the entire community.

House-Related Maintenance

  • Exterior Wall Repair
    The outer walls of several houses are in need of repair. Cracks and wear have compromised
    the integrity of the structures, and addressing these issues will help prevent further damage.
  • Concrete Staircase Repair (House 1)
    The external staircase from the first to the second floor in House 1 is showing signs of
    deterioration.
  • Pergola Repair
    The pergola in our community space has sustained wear and tear over the years. Repairing it
    will restore a much-needed terrace area for relaxation and gatherings.
  • Terrace Wall Plaster Repair
    Several of the terrace walls require plaster repairs to prevent further damage and maintain
    the overall integrity of the buildings.
  • Humidity Control (House 9)
    House 9 is currently facing a serious humidity issue. Effective humidity control measures
    are urgently needed to prevent further damage to the property and ensure a safe living
    environment.
  • Solar Panel Replacement with Boiler
    Our current solar panel system is malfunctioning and inefficient, resulting in excessive water
    and electricity usage. We plan to remove the solar panels and replace them with a regular
    boiler to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste.
