Power and Windows



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!
