The first builder's claim was given to me last Thursday. I checked it and found only two minor discrepancies. That changed (and allowing him to receive the full amount for the extra work, as an incentive), I today delivered the claim to the bank.The work on site restarted today, and the major developments are that the two toilet compartments are now up, and showers are at 1/3. The storm water pipes are also nearly ready and we now await only the arrival of the geotextil.
With that “mesh” I hope that we will also receive the poles for the roof and the bituminous paint so that we can finish the work of waterproofing the WC.
Today I also found on site the electrician. I showed him the drawing and asked him where he saw the sub-distribution board?? No answer! I explained to him why I didn’t want it there and clearly told him not to do anything (again) that was not on the plans without my previous approval! I hope I was not too hard but I’m not used to this role!
A stay-away has been declared for Thursday… I hope that will not affect us too much! I spoke to Ntate Sello and he said that since we are using our own transport it should be okay for them to go to work, but in reality anything can happen, let’s wait and see…
But I’d like to finish this post on a positive note. I had to give up, and ask Tau to buy the battery himself! I had been promising him I’d buy a battery for the site camera for nearly a month now… But everyday I forgot! Today I just gave up and asked him to buy it if he didn’t mind! Like that tomorrow, we will be able to take pictures with flash again!
