Progress of New House ~ Update 13

As you can tell from the previous post, the major things are up.
Whatever that are still left unchecked on my renovation list will not be a hindrance to us moving in on 24th December 2012.

Since there aren't much left to talk about, today's post will be updates of 2 days:~

21st December 2012 :
The Solid Surface Table Top is UP!
Yeah!
I wanted to take photos of the workers doing it.
But it was way too dusty and smelly....
Even the workers had to wear masks to cover their nose and mouth while they were filing/joining the two long pieces of Solid Surface together, to complete my L-shaped kitchen cabinet.

I took a 3 seconds peep and ran off after seeing mini-white-snow flying around the kitchen...

 Now that the Solid Surface is fixed onto my kitchen cabinet, holes were cut to position my stove and sink.






 The tiler also came to complete the walkway that leads the living room to the kitchen. Tiles were laid on top of the wooden plank mentioned in the previous post.


 He also finished building up the suspended wall for the toilet bowl which was of the wrong size. Why would that happen? Why wrong size? Read "Progress of New House ~ Update 7"

I mentioned in Update 7 :
 "My renovation contractor suggested to build a suspended wall from the existing wall so that the water cistern could be supported. Thus, the toilet bowl with the measurement of 140mm, will be placed away from the original wall of the toilet so as to fit into the hole in the ground, and the suspended wall will bridge the gap.

*laugh* This might sound really confusing for some of you, I think. No worries, when all of that are done, photos will definitely be posted to give you a clearer picture. Picture is worth a thousand words, yes?"


This is the suspended wall


With this done, my toilet bowl which WAS of the wrong size can now sit NICELY onto the hole on the floor.

Throughout all these work, the kids created a 'boat' for themselves in their study room, switched on the air-con and watched their favourite videos on the iPad.
*grin*




The painter agreed to come again to paint my laminated wall mentioned in previous post : Update 12.
He did come at night after we had left.

Major packing had also started in our rented flat.....





22nd December 2012 :
When we went to our new house, hoping to see a simple white paint all over the laminated storeroom door, we saw something else.

Patches of green paint ON MY MASTER BEDROOM YELLOW WALL!!!!


 I was speechless!!!!
Felt like fainting.
I could not find any reason why the painter would want to do that....

We called our renovation coordinator and after she had checked with the painter, she told us that the painter mistook the green to be yellow under night light.
*frown*

Therefore because of this mistake, he had to make another trip down to my house again another day!
*sigh*
