I'm using bleach to scrub n disinfect b4 i really dare to sit on it. Imagine owner me gotta lay toilet paper on the seat b4 sitting.. i just shrug at the thot some stranger had used my toilet b4. End of the mth becos of... QING MING! :bangwall: Oil patches? how come? aiyo i guess you really have to let go. Lay toilet paper wasteful and not a long term solution la. Actauli when the construction workers built the HDB flats or condominium, they already slept, eat and do biz in the place b4 we even move in! haha oh yeah Qing Ming. My reno oso completing. Can handover within this week if I accept the retifications. No good dates to move in? must really wait until end of Qing Ming ah. hmmm abit too long leh 2 more weeks leh. Hubby wants to move in soon too but I want auspicious date to move in if must move in b4 end of the month. headache. at least you can still wait. but will feel very excited right? everything's ready when furniture all in but house owner still cannot move in! haha but then for good luck. so you must endure!

(pai seh I'm sua ku hee hee) The solar film thing was done by another uncle that my contractor recommended. I think they may have used some liquid thingy to remove the 'leftover' from prev film and i saw it dripping onto the wall. That time painting not up yet, so we didnt bother too much abt those wet patches. But seems like its surfacing again... gotta ask my contractor how liao. move in b4 18th?? But 18th is like this sat leh! how to shift in like that? would suggest u wait a bit ba, else workers come in n out to do rectifications, not very convenient for u all also right? the rain shower is from Bellari @ $429 for the complete set, mixer+handshower+overhead shower. I'm so proud to be the 1st one to use it (i hope the workers didnt use it b4 me!) after cleaning my house last fri! Not too bad, i found it easy to use cos i have a habit of tilting my hair down when i wash. If i'm taking a quick shower then i'll use the handshower so my hair wun be wet. Its like a novelty for us... something to pamper ourselves after spending so much on other reno stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
