A new hard drive

The building that housed the business side of the Asua refinery ran out of an old, somewhat shabby building. The main offices were on the first floor, while the secretaries and IT department were located on the second floor. After I had been there awhile, my boss called from the US to discuss the situation. We both agreed we really needed to install a new hard drive. The problem was that the only access to the second story was an old, narrow, uneven staircase. It was so tight that it practically a spiral. The hard drive was about the size of a stove; there was simply no way to bring it up the stairs. There wasn't even room to hook a wrench in the ceiling and haul it up. 

I called Mario back about this and he said "find a way". I kept going over options, and finally I went upstairs and took a hard look at the front wall. There was nothing on that wall, inside or out, and the face of the building was flat. I had a quick conversation with Mario, then found Eduardo and told him what I needed: someone to make a big hole in the wall, a crane to lift the hard drive up through it, and someone to build a door to cover the hole. The staff walked around with grins on their faces while the work was going on, marveling at the things those crazy Americans came up with, but it worked! We soon had a new, efficient hard drive to work with. In fact, it worked so well that we brought in a second drive.
