A few pints in, Cy?

I was basing my reply of my many years of visiting the Philippines cybil..the first time when Marcos was in power and I was about 18 or 19 a good looking kunt. I couldn't believe my luck that I had found a country where beer was cheaper than water and the women were stunning. The downside was plenty of Brownouts. Oh well you can't have everything. Took a while but things gradually improved. It's still my favourite country in the world. Heck. I will drink a hot red horse or 3 if I have to. Can't take electricity and cold beer for granted cybil. I know you don't understand. You've had your hand held by your school employers who needed a white guy to teach Engrish innitt very nice

Regardless of cash cost how many liters would you need to run AC for a day.
many years ago there were cuts occasionally here , v rare now usually building work by council in Office hours but no public warning.

Was thinking of solar but payback longer than my life expectancy but a small diesel generator might be good back up.

Would you or other suggest the capacity for 3 people 2 fridges 2 Air con units 3 showers 3 tvs etc, Lighting over 230sq metres and few usaulkitchen appliances
Air Fryer Crock Pot Oven Stove, Microwave kettle espresso thingy and of course laptops.

Can it be safely located 30m from house in an outbuilding /shed to limit sound?
We can Bury the wire in the gardens?

This one is 8kv, can run lights, 3 ACs, the fridge, the wifi, couple of TVs & the kettle or rice maker if needed. It cannot run the two water geysers and heaters or washing machine at the same time as the ACs. So turn on some and have the others turned off as needed. It goes through about 20
litres of diesel in about an 8 hour stretch.

Thanks for the info

Markets are a thing here. Last weekend we spent some time shopping, eating, and drinking. Live music, blue skies. A very nice was to spend a few hours.










But it was hot. So we found the food court, and enjoyed some buckets of beer with the free glasses.

Why does it finish so early?

Day market. They have a few night markets also, but mostly driving home at night is not advised. Roads are poorly light, or not at all, full of crazy pot holes, Africans tend to walk on the roads in dark clothing at night and there’s plenty of drunk drivers around.
