Having said that, we might need to come by to water the vegetables garden, clean the pool or check upon the solar power measurements. To do so, we would first contact you via what's up or email. The roof is covered by solar energy panels because we collect electricity power from the sun. This is why kids' entry on the roof is prohibited.
