Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support:
* The hot water heater does not seem to work. Water does flow into the hot water pipes and taps, but keeps being cold.
Perhaps a problem with the propane supply ?
* The pump that flows from the loft tank to the taps seems to be leaking. The cardboard on the ceiling of the rightmost room is getting wet.
It looks that at least one previous crew was aware as we found a few sponges placed under the pump.
We fear that some long-term damage could happen to the cardboard and the wood that is immediately underneath it.
Additionally there is electric wiring up there, and water could enter in contact with it.
* I doubt that we will have enough water for the whole mission. We are trying to limit our consumption, but as a crew of eight even drinking water represents quite a cost.
