There are several unrelated things. I will cover them at brief.
Recently I was upset about Subbu's lack of focus on the farm. Till date he comes with some excuse for not attending to any given work on the farm. He went on his personal trips to Coimbatore, then came and went to Trichendur, then he said some death in village, then couple of marriages, then attended his family farm and so on... days and months went by. I spoke to him rather sarcastically saying I will call 1st of every month.
The main issue was the windpump is under repair. He was not attending to small repairs which led to complete downtime. At this time electricity bill is coming exhorbitant. Had he fixed that sincerely I would have saved thousands of bugs. Anyway automatically he now started paying attention to the farm. We are exchanging notes on how to mend the windpump.
The issue is when the windpump turns its direction, it unwinds the connecting rods. It could be on surface or 50 feet down below. Everytime it needs labor and time to pull everything out and fix it. THis has been happening for several times. Now the root cause is found. It is due to stupidity of Subbu and his friend that they had welded the rods tightly as against the factory design resulting in this mistake happening. Now I made a video of how to repair with a small model and sent him.
As of today he is on the right path. Had he sent photos earlier properly, I would have given right solution instantly last year itself. That would have saved more money.
Rest in visuals.
