Waiting

We are waiting. Iran and Ofer wanted additional information on the plumbing so they brought in a plumbing engineer. I had never heard of a plumbing engineer, so I checked on google. I guess I am naive. Plumbing engineers even have their own society in America, American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE). On the site it explains that the ASPE is an " organization for professionals skilled in the design, specification and inspection of plumbing systems. ASPE is dedicated to the advancement of the science of plumbing engineering, to the professional growth and advancement of its members and the health, welfare and safety of the public."

So, we are waiting for the plumbing engineer to clarify the design and specificaiton of our plumbing.

They have done as much as possible in the basement. The cement floor is poured, the metal which enforces the walls is ready, and the electrical wiring is in. They cannot continue until it is clear where to put all the plumbing pipes.

According to Iran, the plumber will have his work done no later than the end of the week and then they can proceed.

We are also waiting for our electrical connection. In order to finalize our plans and get our permits, we tore down the old house on the property. In order to tear down the house we had to remove the electical connection. Now in order to build the houe, we need ELECTRICITY. So we paid the electic company a lot of money to connect the electricity. In order to connect the electiricity we need to put up a cement base where the electrical base will stand. Once the base is up, the electric company will come out and hook up the electricity. The cement is planned for the end of the week. Once that is in, the electric company will set a date when they will come to put in the box.
