Well, its not at good as the Marty Robbins song ... but we did have water this morning.  Issues with the water:  Last week - none in the house ... so they had to dig the well 45 ft deeper. Tuesday - none upstairs, because the upstairs water pump failed to work (perhaps due to lack of use over the last few months).  Wednesday - none anywhere because the main pump kicked out.  However, there is a 65 gallon holding tank on top of the house ... so don't know why that water wasn't available via gravity flow ....

Yesterday Decy had a long meeting with the Owner, Mr. Wiharga. He is a very nice man and very much wants to do the right thing.  His biggest challenge is that this is Ramadan month and tomorrow begins Idul Fitri weekend ... so verybody is tired from fasting and nobody wants to work until after Idul Fitri.  Nevertheless, Pak (that's bahasa for "Mr") Wiharga spent much the day at the house waiting on workers to arrive and working through the water system issues. Today (Thursday) ... I have water ... wonder how long that will last?

Decy and Pak Wiharga also went through the punchlist of start up items.  He was very pleased with the gazebo and that its "quality" matched the overall quality of the house.

Pak Wiharga pretty much went ballistic when he saw what was being done on the alarm system (and I can't blame him).  Apparently the installers (without talking to him) decided to rip out all the wiring for the smoke detectors.  Then when they installed wiring for the alarms they didn't match it with the house (white on white and brown on brown).  So what was a very "discrete" wiring arrangement is now "blaring".  Pak Wiharga is having the workers undo everything and redo the installation correctly.

Another big issue is that the office in the house is quite warm.  The A/C unit works but doesn't cool ... but then it did once.  Upon inspection, it was found that the outside condensor (or is that the compressor?, I can never remember) is in an enclosed area ... and in a corner that is incredibly hot ... bottom line ... no circulation ... no cooling.  The outdoor unit will have to be moved.

Regarding work, arrived at home last night at 7pm.  Had a very quick snack as I hadn't eaten all day.  Brought work home and was going to begin ... 720pm ... phone rings ... its a test of the emergency warden system .... I have to do my part ... so I pull out my list of 30 people and being trying to reach all of them.  At 830pm I stop testing .... result was I successfully reached all but 3 (90%) ... and found some areas for improvement in our process.  Of course, didn't get any of my other work done ... so now it slides to today ... which will make today tough ... as I have to get certain things done before I take my long holiday weekend (starting tomorrow).
