We're still having the same old electricity problems as before, but we've received the good news that the power company is going to allow us to up out kilowattage without charging us the 18,000 euros our engineer (ever so expertly) predicted. Now there is a whole new set of issues involving a new ground wire, installing another meter, getting inspectors in, and more. It's a little frustrating to have to leave it all in the hands of the supposed "experts," but I'm confident that we'll find a way to make it work.

And on the bright side, at least I avoided this fate by leaving banking before my soul was completely sucked from me. I always thought rogue trading sounded kind of fun though.
