Palm Oil tree just planted
Howdy ! So the lighting project has been a journey of sorts. As has happened with a few things with me and architect and now the electrician, they sometimes judge my plan or idea as if I were a nut ball. It almost always comes because what I am wanting seems unnecessary and expensive in their eyes, even those the added expense may add 1/100th of 1% of the project cost. This came up with my electrical plan where I have want some circuits with 3 way switches so I can operate those light from 3 switch locations. Once I explained it they "sort of" saw the logic, but they would likely not choose the convenience for themselves. Then we got into his concern about so much wire, etc etc. Anyway- we did get through it and ordered one of each of the type of switch we will be using so he could look at them. So now my job is marking the walls for exactly where I want every electrical box mounted and mark each switch, outlet and light location, switch type and corresponding circuit. so its a bit of a science project and I just have to be sure I don't forget something like TV cable because here I cannot go back and add that easily as the walls are concrete block or brick. I also have one smart switch which he looked at like it was off an alien craft.
We also had a big change the back yard the other day as we had 4 coconut palms and 1 palm oil palm tree delivered and planted. That should complete the upper back yard area of tree planting. It always amazes me how they make it look easy to unload, move and plant these large trees which you will see in the video. Because friends ask - here's the cost. The 3 coconut palm were $55 each and the palm oil Palm was $210. That is because the palm oil tree comes from Kalimantan formerly known as Borneo and is literally an ocean away, 350 miles by truck, then boat, then 2 hours from the port in Bali to the house.
