Well, the latest is that the water guy will try and fit me in to be hooked up on Friday. No guarantee that “hooking up” actually means running water, but it’s a start. However, if not Friday then early next week. I might still in fact be moving into a dry house.

The electricity guys will be along this afternoon to hook me up to the grid. However, nobody can tell me if that will translate into actually having electricity in the house.

Several things need to happen to the internal wiring and the switch box, including inspection by an authority I’ve never heard of. They will then issue a certificate, which presumably needs to be handed to someone else, who in turn would need to do something before the power supply can officially be switched on. The Polish builders are handling this side of it, and I haven’t heard anything from them lately.

So in addition to moving into a dry house, I might also be moving into a dark house. A good argument for being off the grid if I’ve ever heard one.
