My early morning fear attacks are back. I had been designing a large garage last night, I woke up at 0500 AM with fear and anxiety, feeling I was inside the garage and trembling. I think I am under the influence of two recent projects: Yesterday I went to the Commercial Center of Oranit (a settlement in Samaria) where the frightened contractor wanted to document the situation. The situation is that last week's rain filtered into the lower floors and caused damages, and he feels that their insurance will sue him. I took many photos that document that he didnt do it. He was so frightened that I cought his mood. Another weekend project was in Old Yafo. A group of investors bought the old Turkish Customs house and transformed it into 24 apartments and many shops. They were unsatisfied with the plumbing contractor and they did not pay him. Or maybe it is an excuse to avoid paying. He sued them and they are counter-sueing him for real and imagined faults. I am to write an Expert Witness document showing that almost everything is all right (the fact is 24 families are living there three years and everything works). The investing partners (that includes a lawyer) are claiming 400 dollars per day for unfinished contract, which comes to about 500,000 dollars penalty and that is not all. The plumber is frightened to death and begged me to please help him. So I wake up with guts contracted into a hard ball and uneasy, to say the least. On the other hand, anxiety improves potency. Strange.

It's amazing that there's anything built in Israel the way you folks keep suing each other constantly.
We are only following your example and improving on it. There are 50 thousand lawyers in Israel. No kidding!
