March 2nd we reached the highest point of the roof steel construction of our main house. Still some work (steelwork, welding, grinding and painting) to do on that highest part but it feels good we reached that level.
Last Thursday we had a power break because the provincial electricity company, in our village, had to change a high voltage concrete pole. This gave me the opportunity to prepare and change our main electricity inlet and the connection with the main switch to the house we are building now. It took me half a day to change it but it worked out perfect. Just only a matter of changing the main inlet cable after the new 50 mm2 lines are installed and the new 30-45 Amp. electricity meter is placed.
Just this morning, very quick after ordering, a crew of four men came to install the new cable. At 1 PM (Thai Time) everything was installed and connected. So now only a matter of going to the Electricity Authority for a request to change the meter. For us this can wait for a while. The cables are in now before the rainy season starts so no need to enter the fields anymore and no hurry because finishing the house will take another about 1,5 years.
We do not know if the change of the cables, at the moment, really will help us. For this, in the future (around two years) the Provincial Electricity Authority need to change their main line to the meters. Last Saturday there was a party at a house connected on the same line. We were there as well. Being home we could see the lightbulbs of the LED's shining on the rhythm of the music. So not a good sign. But this problem will be solved in the future and we already are prepared.
