I Don't Have 6 Weeks!

[chronograph 0]

Hi all,

In a few months, i will collect my key to my resales EM. I'm given one month to move out of my current 5I upon the completion of sales.

I need to do up quite a number of things for my EM;

1) Overhaul Kitchen

2) Overhaul 3 bathrooms

3) MBR wardrobe

4) polishing of marble flooring and varnishing of parquet flooring.

5) Roofing at balcony

6) Paint the whole house

7) Some carpentry work at the dinning/living area!

I have only 3.5 weeks to do up all the above, the remaining 0.5 week my family to move in! The problem is i have spoken to a few contractors and Ids and they all said need about 6 weeks for the above jobs.

Some recommend that they will finish up all the masonry work, painting, polishing/varnishing and washing first so that we can move in and to leave the carpentry and electrical last while we are already in!

I believe it will cause some inconvenience to my family but i have to adhere to the tight schedule. Do u think it will work? Will i be going home without electricity???

If you insist on doing up but with time constraint, I would suggest you either do up with one room first or leave it as it state. Move all your stuff and stock it there.

Book yourself a blanglow /holiday resort and stays there for a week till things are complete.

6 weeks is just a very conservative estimate - usually it will take more than 8 weeks.

i gave my contractor 3 mths to do up my EM.

suggest you go rent a room to stay for a mth or 2.

Thanks for the suggestion;

Moving all things to a room, does it include electrical appliances(washing machine, refrigerator)? I guess will have to lock up the room cos i don;t trust the workers. Will they steal huge appliances if l leave it as is.

I can consider moving to my parent's place temporary for a week cos rental very ex nowadays.
