Thursday morning we woke to another comfortable
temperature...it rained all night enough to make puddles on the
back roads.
I am glad to report that the day
was a bit more successful than the past 2 days. I managed to get to the Police Station
first thing this morning to get both my national ID and the land lease
certified. These were required to
accompany the application for supply of electricity. My brother Sam drove
me again, and we then drove to Molepolole to hand in the documents for
processing. The lady told me the process
will take about 3 weeks. She promised to call me in 2 weeks to go pay the fee.
We left at 1100 a.m. to go to the
city to do more running around. Sam had
to do something at the Ministry of Health, but unfortunately after 45 minutes of
waiting, the fire bell went off and everybody was shooed outside.
We left to go to another building
hardware supplier to pick up a quote and pay for some material.
All the 10 doors and locks have
been paid for, including 2 garage doors!
After purchasing the doors, we
then went to do some banking and the had lunch at Nando’s before going back to
the Ministry of Health. Sam had another hour wait, and then he was told the
process will take another 30 minutes. I
asked him to drop me off at the window place and go back. Since I already had the quote it did not
take long for the process to be done. I
paid 60% of the total for the material to be ordered to make them! The 40% will
be paid prior to installation.
Next week the technician will
come to get the correct measurements before they start to make them. Apparently,
it may take up to 10 days for the windows to be made then they will come and
install them, the builder will seal the edges.
We joined the afternoon rush hour
to get back home and we stopped at Choppies hyper to get some groceries and
drinks. We got home around 19:30.
Friday we meet with the builder
to get the list of rhino boards and electrical accessories before heading back
to the city to purchase bricks and all the electrical and plumbing stuff.
All goes well here in TMG...time
to call it a night!
