Maintaining our amazing ground
New Hot Water Heating System
How we’ll spend the money raised
New Roller
With the money we raise the first priority is to purchase the roller. We have identified a fully restored 4 foot roller with a brand new engine. This roller will provide us with a reliable option that because it is a foot wider than our existing roller will also reduce the time it takes to roll the pitch.
Hot Water Heating System
The next priority is to replace the water heating system. We have two choices and the selection with depend upon the amount of money raised.
Option 1
Purchase a small combi boiler to run off our LPG supply which would produce hot water on demand and replace the existing electric showers.
Option 2
Purchase a full boiler system to run the showers, all the hot water and to additionally replace the electric heating system.
Hot showers boys!
