Well we still haven't met with the builders, I guess it will be a few more days. We are quite anxious to get rolling. In fact we went to a big home depot type store and bought some things for the house. We bought three windows, a front door, and a couple of western style, sit down, toilets. We felt that if any of our western friends came to visit us some day they would appreciate that simple touch of home.
Actually we bought these things so we could get the measurements. The lower walls will be going up right after we pour a floor, and we needed to know about plumbing too. At least it feels like the project is underway.
We received a bit of bad news today; some kids came to our place in the village while no one was around. They stole everything of value they could haul away and sell at the market. This included all of our mature frogs, fruit on the trees, pineapples, and assorted other edible things. Anchalee's dad managed to catch one of the boys and he will be brought before the village headman. I have no idea how they handle stuff like that in the village, but it is a reminder that there will be new challenges for us moving up there. Especially because I will be the only westerner for many miles. But given time they will notice that not all westerners are rich.
I will report back here after we consult with the builders, it should be soon.
