Things continue to fill in at the house.

I stopped by tody and saw the electrician installing the new service to the oven. The obese Indian guy always reminds me of Prop Joe, except he’s doing house wiring, not fiddling with toasters, but still.

May I suggest an electrical parlay?

Of note, the 450v x 3 phases x 20amperes is inaccurate. It’s actually a 32 ampere service… so I guess it’s more like a 30hp motor, not 20hp.

Toto called. My Neorest has arrived. They sent over a plumber who will install the things (most won’t, for fear of damaging the senselessly-expensive toilet). He’s on vacation next week, so he’ll do it the following week, a day before I move in.

I approved the invoice for the intercoms.

Our gardener came by to assay the front yard.  He’ll replace all the topsoil, put bamboo in the front, and make a privacy wall of some jungle plant versus our idiot neighbor.  He said grass won’t grow in the shady area under our newly-extended roof, so he’s going to install a small wooden patio/deck in that area.  Surprisingly, he’s a stickler for details and accuracy. He was making fun of the small deck built on the side of the house. He didn’t like that the slats weren’t long, were poorly nailed, and the seams didn’t match cleanly. I expect his will be better. Ling has seen other things he’s built, and says they are very nice.

Only equipment we’re waiting on is to get the Rinnai infrared grill.  The distributor didn’t call Ling back today.

Emily, Matilda’s cousin who we have hired, arrives Monday.  Ling’ll put them to work cleaning all the construction filth (dust, debris, etc)
