Josh the Plumber and Benny the Electrician
















Josh is our new plumber. Josh the Plumber is not replacing Yossi (Joe) the plumber. Yossi is Shmulik's plumber and actually installs the system. Josh is designing the water system. Josh worked in hi-tech, was laid off twice, decided to learn plumbing, and seems pretty happy with his choice. We were at his apartment for over 2 hours deciding what to do and looking for manholes on the plans. In the end we are still continuing with our (Harry's) idea to recycle ALL the water.
Benny the Electrician insisted we start our eletrical plan with a visit to a lighting store. I met the owner of the store and he reviewed our plans, and suggested where we should put in lights and what type. I learned a lot about types of lighting and how to use lighting. I learned that it is best to put in plugs wherever you might possibly need them now rather than to find out later that one is missing and try to add it (in Hebrew it is called a נקודה (point), I think that translates to plug). I also learned that each plug costs 200 NIS.
You can see from the pictures that they have done a lot of work on the basement. Initially, they laid gravel and then poured cement. You can actually see where the rooms will be.
