First electricity poles arrived to get power to the land

This morning, exactly at 10 AM as promised, there was a truck driving in front of me after I came from a building materials shopping mall. It seemed to be the truck with the first electricity poles to our land. 

So actually, at the last day of the year our process or building journey (not project) started. A good feeling. 

Normally the Provincial Electricity Authority advises to put this 8 meter long poles for 1.5 meter in the land. To be sure (ricefield land and in the rainy season the top layer is muddy) we asked for digging 1.8 meters. The workers did, to satisfy me ;), 1.9 meters. The poles have 'to rest' and settle for about one month and after that will be put totally straight and on level and the electricity lines (we choose for 35 mm2 instead of the regular 25 mm2) will be connected.  

Also we nearly finished to put the picket poles (land markers) in the land. In practice we had to made a bit a change in the land plan but my 'pendulum' showed it was totally right. And for both of us it feels great. 

Finally we can see first basic things arising.
