We have these runs of optimism with the progress and then. . . .bam -- the funk sets in. Last night Richard and I realized that there is just no way that we will be living in this house by the end of July. Even if all of the construction is completely done, there are still several other things that have to be done that involve dealing with the Italian system -- and that just doesn't move swiftly. And the closer to the month of August, the more slowly things move. I often think that the heat literally causes people to move more slowly and just be overall less efficient. We have to get the power and gas and water connected, not to mention the final inspection by the commune that the house must undergo to be deemed inhabitable. To have ALL of this done by the end of July before the August break just seems impossible.
The really good news is that the landlord of our current apartment is very accommodating and will essentially allow us to stay on a month-to-month basis for as long as we need to -- for now, anyway.
