Oh My God, Our Electric is Finished in the House!

I just can't believe it!  Is this actually possible?  I think not.

I had to go to David to buy 5 more ceiling lamps yesterday so they could finish the electric.  I dropped the lamps off at my builder's house late yesterday afternoon.  He was not home.  Not a good sign.

He had not answered any of my test messages yesterday, so I was worried about getting the electric completed in time for the Bomber's inspection Friday.  

Lo and behold, I met our electrician near our rental house as he is our neighbor.  He was standing out in the rain with a friend working under the hood of a car.   We tried to talk but he knows very little English and we know very little Spanish.

After much hand and arm waving, he told us he would finish on Saturday, a day late for the Bomber's inspection.

Nooooooooo!

We hoped to convey the importance of getting it done today or tomorrow but who knows what gets communicated.  He wanted the builder to call him.  Fat change that would ever happen.  I was pretty defeated by the talk.

I texted messaged the builder but he had not responded all day.

So I gave up on the idea that it would happen today.

Surprise!

It happened.  And, I think it is actually 100% complete, a feat in Panama worthy of a National Day of Acknowledgement.

Now we will see if the Bomber's inspection really does happen and we pass.

More later.
