The rest of the year everyone uses water-saving toilets and solar showers outside. The bunk room may be reserved for children's use by either the keeper or a family staying downstairs for a night in the museum. Please let us know in advance if you need to reserve the bunk room for your children. Bring sleeping bags. Fresh rain water for cleaning and bathing is stored in the basement cistern.
Bottled water is provided for drinking and cooking.
Regular 110V electricity comes from a small wind turbine with a diesel generator as back up. The kitchen has a 9 cu.ft. An outside gas barbecue grill is shared with the folks staying in the museum downstairs. Other electric appliances include a coffee maker, toaster, microwave and vacuum, which can be used if there is enough electricity, otherwise you sweep instead of vacuum, and so on. A cellular phone and marine radio are provided for emergencies.
