Well, as I predicted, “hooking me up to the grid” did not in fact mean that I have electricity. An inspection has to be done of the electrical wiring in the house, and a certificate issued to prove that everything was done to specifications. The builders were supposed to organise this several weeks ago, but I haven’t heard anything about it since. Had I known he significance of this certificate, I probably would have asked for it more often. Only once I hand this certificate over to the electricity company, allowing for a delay of up to eight working days, will they throw a magical switch that will unleash the graceful blue eddies of current to wash up our electrical piping.
