Yellow book, Address and Buddha at home

It took nearly 3,5 hours, lots of telephone calls between different government offices but today we got a so called 'yellow book' for our Knock down home and an address. Although there is not a single house around our site we got street number 6 and house number 196. We also went to the PEA (electricity authority) and will get a new meter now included 'normal' price (electricity for building a house is more expensive in Thailand). 

Yesterday afternoon I finished all the pavement and concrete work. A surprise was that Phatsamon arranged several farmers who were working on their lands around us and her brother in law to help with the placement of the over 150 kg heavy Buddha head. Together we succeeded. 

The Buddha feels at home although the meditation environment is not finished yet. We now will start with building the labyrinth for walking meditation 'under the eyes of the Buddha' and will order a special plate with a Buddha homage. It will be there when the labyrinth is finished. Something that will take several weeks.
