So, our bedroom here at the compound has been kinda hot lately. It’s not the weather, it’s the Air-Con. All our other Air-Cons are working fine except this one. I called Wendy (our beloved real estate agent acting as our translator) then she sent technicians to our place today.
The guys quickly went to work after a brief phone call to Wendy to mediated what’s the problem, my Chinese isn’t capable of allowing such things (yet!).
A girl showed up, forgot her name but she works with Wendy and pretty much in charge for stuffs around this apartment but her English is so poor, anyway she asked if I could move Lil’ A to our bedroom so the guys can work through Lil’ A’s bedroom windows. It’s a no go because that will wake him up so I said just go ahead and do it but please try to keep the noise level at minimal if possible.
Off, they went opening up the window, taking one of the window down as the outdoor unit is mounted on this small space next to it.
These guys are a pros so please do not try this at home, boys and girls!
Fixing Air-Cons in high rises apartments are definitely not for the faint of heart. I was pretty impressed by how they maneuver the whole thing. One guy stand inside from the window holding on to the other guy’s belt (yep! you read me right) while this guy is half hanging from our 7th floor compound.
So fascinated I just had to snap some pictures. The Chinese people are quite similar to their neighbors in Indonesia, love to have their pictures taken and will give you the widest smile with that famous peace sign, and he did just that while again, hanging ‘loosely’ from 7th floor.
Phew! Sure am glad when they’re done as it feels like their doing a stuntman actions instead of fixing our Air-Con. Oh, and our power-napper didn’t even make a sound through it all!
And all this only cost us $7.31. Holly molly!
