Services Available

You are feeling that you have an excessive consumption of electricity when the customers are renting your house.

It is very easy just to put an electricity domestic meter next to the main distribution panel (fuse box)​ in your house. It is not necessary any hole on the walls.

You take the measure of the meter​   (perhaps also​ the cleaner could take

a photo of the electricity domestic meter) before and after the accommodation of your customer, so​ the customer would pay you the consumption of the electricity

​ (KWh)

You can have the possibility to reduce the rent of your house

Friday Jan. 15th  Valentin (2002)

(Argentina – 86 min.) Comedy/drama/romance. Written and Directed by Alejandro Agresti – In 1967 Buenos Aires, eight-year-old Valentin (Rodrigo Noya) is a boy that dreams of becoming an astronaut. He is being raised by his poor widowed grandmother, Abuela (Carmen Maura), and feels totally abandoned by his parents. His mother has apparently forgotten him, and his father (director Alejandro Agresti) does not pay much attention to him. This smart but needy kid misses having closeness with his mother and, when his father introduces his new girlfriend, Leticia (Julietta Cardinale), Valentin feels strongly drawn to her. Meanwhile, his grandmother gets sick, and Valentin tries to resolve all his family problems using persuasion and his viewpoint of life. He also tries to match Leticia with his great teacher, Rufo (Max Urtizberea). In Spanish with English subtitles.

Preceded by:             Palestinian Chicken (2011)

(US–30 min.) Comedy episode, written by and starring Larry David. 

Larry plays “social assassin” to the hilt at a dinner party, on the golf course, and at a Palestinian restaurant with chicken to die for. In English.
