Water Installation Day 3 (Wasseranschluss Tag 3)

Today was not a lot. The excavation team just need to close the holes and fix the streets that they opened. I thought at first that it will be the last day of their job. Our street has been closed since Monday. But, they are there still some parts that they were asked by the water company ZMW to repair in our street, therefore, they will be coming back tomorrow.

Water Installation Day 2 (Wasseranschluss Tag 2)

The water installation is done this morning. The excavation team just needs to close it properly.

They made a hole that is higher than planned :( We hope that it will not give any issues later specially during winter time. We were not happy about it. But we also do not like to have two holes in the basement wall. 

Almost finished.

In the afternoon...

Water Installation Day 1 (Wasseranschluss Tag 1)

At 7:30 am hubby went to the building site to check on the excavation team and for the water company ZMW in-charge Herr F. They talked about how and where should the water installation be as well as the distance of the water pipeline from the planned car port.

I went there at around 9:20 am and do some dämmung and checked.

In the afternoon this is what they finished...

Water Installation (Wasserinstallation)

Last Monday, the water company ZMW called us and mentioned that they will install the water connection in our house on Wednesday. Wednesday arrived and nothing happened. No call backs or updates. It is getting more frustrated as ever. We applied for the water installation since September 2013 (before the house was built). We needed the water before the bricks installation, but it did not arrive.

Today, we received a message on our phone that on Monday they will install the water connection and start with the excavation company. They requested us (probably me... because hubby will be at work) to be on the building site at 7:30 am. We're not sure if they are arriving this time. But then, hubby went to the building site after his office work today, to do some cabling work, and --- he saw the backhoe parked in our parking lot. So, it seems that probably the water installation will go thru.

LET'S SEE...

We have POWER in the house! (endlich STROM zuhause)

Today at lunch time, the power company E-ON Mitte arrived to install the electricity meter. This was a lil bit complicated on our end since the other electric company (Gundlach), installed a different earth cable. Gundlach mentioned that they will be on the building site during the installation to ensure the E-ON Mitte that it is ok with the earth cable that they delivered and installed. Unfortunately, the person in-charge is now on his vacation leave, and they were not able to be on the site. Good thing that hubby was there with our electrician and E-ON installed the said meter.

Now, we have electricity meter and power in the house.... AT LAST! All we need to do now is to finished all the cables for socket and lights.

No Date for Water Installation (Hausanschluss Wasser)

I called as early as 7:30 am to the water company here in our end. I followed-up for the water installation that we applied since September 2013. They had so many building site visits done in our end but still we do not have a fix water installation date. I understand that during winter time, it is not that easy to install it, but what I cannot understand is that, they are always excuses for this installation to not go thru. Maybe I am just frustrated but we really need water in the building site specially that our bricks will arrive (as planned) on Monday.

I am still hoping that something will happen this week but it is already Tuesday :(

Update as of Wed --- I called the earthworks company that is partnered with the water company here in our end, since we are not receiving any update from the water company. They mentioned that they do not have any supplies of asphalt to close the supposedly open hole in the street until March 1st. They can still continue the digging but then if the holes will not be closed right away, it's gonna be dirty in our neighborhood. This is frustrating... just really soooooo frustrating :(

Power, Gas and Telephone Installation Day 2 (Verlegung HausanschlüsseTag 2)

I was already on the building site at 8am this morning. The Excavation Company people were late. They arrived around 8:40am. During this times, I was able to take some pictures of what they were able to finish yesterday.

We also had luck that the TV cable was already there and they asked the Telephone Company people if the Exacavation Company people can already prepare it in. Good thing that everything went well. That is atleast one good news out of many bad news whew!

After lunch, I was able to reached the Electric Company. They said that they will do the earth cable installation tomorrow from the Hausanschluss-Säule to the basement. Since we also have the building site power from them, they also mentioned of checking on it.

In the afternoon, I went to check on the finish work of the E-ON for the Power, Electric and Telephone installations.

The Power (the one with the blue color paint) and the Gas line (the thick black cable).

This is how the installation looks like from the inside.

This is the telephone and TV cable installed inside one big pipe.

Power, Gas and Telephone Installation Day 1 (Verlegung Hausanschlüsse Tag 1)

Today at 7:55 am, I received a call from the Excavation Company who is working together with the Power, Gas and Telephone companies. They mentioned that they were already on the building site, would like to start working and needs to have an access to our basement. I went there asap and clear-up how they were going to do it. I just would like to make sure that it is how we discussed it with the Power and Telephone Companies. It took awhile before they were able to start to dig because they have a different plan from the one we discussed with the Power Company (E-ON Mitte). E-ON Mitte arrived on the building site at around 10am and called me at home. I went back to the building site to talk with them. They also talked with hubby on the phone. At the end, the installation was now infront of our house. This was how we discussed it before, except that, the Hausanschluss-Säule was originally on the side of the carport.

Here are some pics...
