JUST IN CASE ANY OF YOU ARE WONDERING ABOUT THE SKY INSTALLATION PROGRESS -
ALL QUOTATIONS HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO THE ADMINISTRATOR, WHO WILL THEN PASS THEM ON TO EVEMARINA FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION.
AS EASTER IS LOOMING, AND THE HOLIDAYS CELEBRATED HERE ARE EASTER THURSDAY AND GOOD FRIDAY - AS OPPOSED TO FRIDAY & EASTER MONDAY - TODAY IS CUT OFF POINT ( LET'S HAVE A LONG HOLIDAY) UNTIL MONDAY.
IN ADDITION - MANY PEOPLE HAVE USED THIS SHORT WEEK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING A HOLIDAY.
THE REALLY NICE GUY AT THE ADMINISTRATORS OFFICE - PACO - WHO IS DEALING WITH THE SATELLITE ISSUE IS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. I HAVE THEREFORE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH - TO VERIFY THAT EVEMARINA HAVE YET RECEIVED THE QUOTES, AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO UNTIL NEXT MONDAY.
AS MENTIONED IN MY PREVIOUS POSTING - I DOUBT IF EVEMARINA WILL PAY FOR THIS - WOULD BE A NICE SUPRISE IF THEY DID!! - BUT THE QUOTE WHICH SEEMS TO BE COMING OUT TOPS, AND THE MOST SENSIBLE PROPOSITION IS -
INSTALL 8 SATELLITE DISHES - TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE COMPLEX, 1 ON EACH BLOCK - EXCEPT FOR ROYAL LYTHAM & PEBBLE BEACH - WHICH REQUIRE 2 EACH DUE TO THEIR SIZE.
FIT ALL TRUNKING TO BRING CONNECTIONS DOWN TO A CENTRAL POINT IN EACH BLOCK, FROM WHERE EACH INDIVIDUAL APARTMENT CONNECTION WILL START.
THE QUOTE FOR THIS IS ALMOST € 9,000 EUROS - SO - IF EVEMARINA WOULD NOT PAY - THIS AMOUNT WOULD BE DIVISIBLE BY APPROX 220 UNITS - IF ALL OWNERS ARE IN AGREEMENT ( € 40 APPROX) - I REALLY CANNOT SEE ANYONE REFUSING TO PAY THIS.
FROM THEN ON - EACH APARTMENT OWNER IS FREE TO HAVE THEIR CONNECTION - OR NOT.
APPROX PRICE TO CONNECT EACH APARTMENT IS € 190 EUROS, THEN OF COURSE - YOU HAVE TO BUY A DIDGIBOX, WHICH YOU CAN EITHER SOURCE YOURSELVES, OR THE SATELLITE COMPANY CAN SUPPLY AT APPROX € 225 EURO.
SO - ONCE THE INITIAL INSTALLATION IS DONE - IT WILL COST APPROX € 415 EUROS.
AS MOST OWNERS WOULD EITHER NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM ON THE TERRACE TO LOCATE A DISH, AND SOME OWNERS (SOUTH WEST FACING) WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET A SIGNAL - I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE TOO BAD A SOLUTION.( EVEMARINA WERE NEVER GOING TO HAVE PAID FOR THE TOTAL INSTALLATION - I-E - TO INCLUDE DIGIBOX ETC FOR EACH APARTMENT)
YOU WILL ALL BE CONTACTED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR ON THIS - BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW THAT IT MAY NOT BE AS HORRIFIC SITUATION AS WE HAD FIRST ANTICIPATED - HOPEFULLY - ONCE EASTER HAS GONE, WE SHOULD SEE SOME ACTION ON THIS.
SORRY TO SAY - THAT TEH WEATHER IS NOT OUTSTANDING - IF ANY OF YOU ARE COMING OUT OVER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS, MAKE SURE YOU BRING A BIT MORE THAN THE USUAL SHORTS AND FLIP FLOPS.
PASCUA FELIZ - HAPPY EASTER
