Electrical Plans Approved

My wife's father is in town from Kobe to finalise the electrical plans for the house. After a few beers and long debate about the best placement for a light switch in the bathroom, we were done. In what is becoming a pattern, the electric company rejected our plans this morning. So we made some minor changes and by the afternoon we had the plans approved. 

The foundation guys (technical term) were on site today to measure the exact dimensions of the land to prepare for digging. A few of the remaining trees must have mouthed off because they were laying on the ground when I got there. But my hammock trees still remain so there is always a silver lining.

The exact start date of the digging remains shrouded in mystery (odd for a country where not only the trains run on time, but even the buses are never more than a few minutes off schedule). I guess I will just turn up one day and there will be a great big hole in the ground. Hopefully with a vein of gold running through it.
