Last week, I went to my house in Bantul. I think it is much better now. It has been two months after the earthquake disaster. All okey, continuing life...
I had a discussion with my father about our next steps. The wet season is about to start I think, so we need a much better shelter. House? Probably we will have a "real" house later. Okey, let's put some numbers here:
- The building was: 9m x 14m, all gone.
- After cleaning up things, we have about 6,000 pieces of bricks. I think more than that.
- The roof (Id. Genteng).. about 2,500 pieces, and can be re-used.
- Cleaning up things was really tiring. So, we hired some people for about 1 weeks. We spent about 1 million. It is not about the money, but more about "having a better view"; because we live there.
- Fixing the motorbike: IDR 750,000.
What about the goverment? What a stupid promise by the vice president!. The vice president said that there will be money for the reconstruction. 10 - 30 million for each family. Stupid? Of course stupid, because I think he said that BEFORE the valid data was released. Getting sympathy?
Well, okey... not 10 million. So, 4 million? Yeah, the informaiton said that the govt would give 4 million for each family to build the houses. Satisfied? Unfortunately not. Why? Because there is no 4 million.
Then, how much? Ah, the easiest question to answer: none.
Rather than thinking about what the govt said, it is better to get a strategy to face a new life...
Anyway, my house was built statically. And I do not have the "Rebuild" button there.
