For the last 6 months we have been trying with my fiancée to apply for the planning permission to build the house back home. It is a very time consuming and stressful process, and because we are working abroad, we have hired a guy who will apply for the planning permission on our behalf. We have the construction blueprints done and we just need someone to submit it and go through the whole planning process. And I hate to rely on other people.
I have done as much as I could myself, but some of the issues are just impossible to deal with from abroad. I have also hired my schoolmate to prepare a water well project for us, which as he said would take a month to be done. At the end the water well project took him about three months. It wouldn’t be a problem at all, if he just called me and say it. Instead, I couldn’t even reach him on the phone for about a month and half. And that really annoyed me. I have called him almost every day, with no answer. We were stuck with no further progress as the water well was a last thing we needed. I was really closed to hire someone else. Fortunately, we have received the water well project just two weeks ago, and today everything should be passed to the city council for the planning process.
