Work in progress...

Thursday 29th Nov.
As you can see in the pic above, the next stage in the housing development opposite to our place is on...after the piling comes the foundation forming...etc, etc. At least the thumping is stopped...temporarily.

Checked the ole junk this morning. The air-con gas leakage is there! No escape. Even used soap solution to chk for bubbles formed by leaking gas. Yup, that joint was blowing bubbles...albeit slowly & small ones. Eventually gas would be lost and cooling functions affected.

Gotta send the ole junk for repairs...probably after late breakfast. Only plan for the day. Will update later.

UPDATE @11:55am :
Air-con leak confirmed. Pl see pic below for location : Upon removing faulty pipe & using compressed air, the air-con repair boss found poor gasket seal to be the cause of the leak and used a gasket-forming compound to seal. Pipe was re-installed & gas refilled. Cost? RM25 gone this time around. Total for this problem? RM40. This is what $$ can do. And time, of course! Time? I can spare that. Ha ha!

Sincerely hope it's a lasting remedy tho...need to make a trip to Penang soon. Dec 8th. A wedding dinner. With a proper functioning air-con system, at least the trip would be cool...hehe...
