Home reno jitters

Renovation is a hassle...

Anything and everything can go wrong.

To think that we spent a bomb on purchasing the flat and another bomb on the reno...

I feel like pulling my hair whenever things dun turn out as what is seen from the 3D drawings.


Hair tugging moments

I was so worried about our aircon trunking...seeing some really bad ones done up in some homes...

Alas, ours turned out quite concealed and 'invisible'...relieved...

We had issues with the plaster walls, some were not as useable and pretty-looking as in the drawings..we had them rectified in the nick of time...

The kitchen sink concrete stand and the washing machines concrete base had us up in arms too. We protest and got their measurements changed.

Painting was not done entirely according to our instructions; but heck, maybe the contractor knows best...who knows?

Lights and fan are up but we were not a bit wee surprised that something will have to go wrong...the fan regulator is not in line with the light switches.


Hair pulling moment of the whole reno process

Carpentry works start.

Every single carpentry item = Needs some form of rectification

From the wardrobe to the kitchen cabinet to the shoe cabinet to the TV console....they look so wrong...

I shudder in fear to see how the most expensive item in our reno contract turns out eventually...mr Fat says he got it all sorted out with the contractor...I hope he's right...


Minor works not done yet : fixing of accessories, curtains, installation of water and gas...

We will see how lor...see how...


View from my service yard takes the heat away from the reno jitters
