Bureaucracy and waiting

In April 2010 we have done all the homework and the plans were ready for the municipality to see. But, before that, and since nothing is done without a ton of bureaucracy, we had to ask for authorisations of the electricity, water and telecommunications providers, utility company, neighbors, and so on....

After months running around from one to another, on the 22th of December 2010 I brought 3 folders (each weighted more then 5kg) full of plans, authorisations, explanations,... to the person in charge at the municipality....


And the waiting began.... till the May 2011 when we finally got our permission to build :)
