Temporary Electricity

The labor that will build our house is coming soon, we have to fix electricity for them!

Monday:
Entering the electric company (very near our land).
we > Can you help us with temporary electricity while building our house?
they > Yes, sure! Where is it and how does the pole look like?
we > Like this....

they > That great, but you have to have the box and the wires (like the photo) in place before we can do anything...

we > OK, do you know any electrician that can help us with that?
they > No sorry, we don't!

Later that Monday, we found an electrician that could fix it.


Tuesday morning:
The box and wires are there and we went to the electric company again and tell them...
we > The equipment you asked for is in place!
they > OK, we will go and inspect it.


Thursday:
Phone call from the electric company.
they > Everything is OK, please come in and pay deposit for the meter and fee for setting it up.

On hour later we payed the fee and deposit.
they > Good, we will set it up soon.


Late Friday:
Phone call from the electric company.
they > All done.


This is great, only five days and three visits to the electric company.

Blueprint

The first version of the blueprint. About half of the house is one floor, the bedrooms are raised as a second floor with mostly open areas below (laundry and outdoor relax area). I guess there will be some small changes here and there during the building process, but in general this is the house. Even if it looks like that, we will not have any cars under the bedroom.

Community water

Perfect timing. The community have started to dig and mount water pipes right outside my fence, so I will get water from both the well and the community = no future water problems!
