August...Already!

I climbed out of bed and looked at my watch...August!!! Wow! Where does the time go?

We got a call from our builder at 9:45 last night. What?! He never answers his phone much less calls us.

He was looking for our bathroom facets and couldn't find them. He wanted to know if we had purchased and given them to him.

You bet cha! (O0ps, that sounded like Sarah Pallin, not something I want to do) I found the receipt. Will wonders never cease. With all this travel and relocation, many documents are gone. This poor bastard now has to replace $220 worth of facets out of his own pocket. I almost feel sorry for him.

He must be hurting for money because we are making progress on our house. Looks like he will be finished by the end of August.

I traveled to Union Fenosa, the electric company, yesterday with an interpreter. I was submitting my Occupancy Permit. They said our installation was scheduled for July 22 but postponed because, you guessed it, no Occupancy Permit.

GRRRRRR!!!!!

The good news is that the electricity should be installed by the end of August.

We visited our house today after breakfast and the kitchen sink installation was almost complete. Not a perfect job but nothing here is perfect, it is not in the culture. I know this bothers Yella. There isn't anything that can be done about it though.

The water department will install the new water main to our house tomorrow, I hope. They were supposed to do it last week and didn't so there promises are suspect. As are all time commitments in Panama.

Our last 40's cabaret is tonight. I hope it is as much fun as last night. Then, tomorrow is a benefit concert. We will be playing in that one also. Fun, fun fun!
