The walls of our bathroom calling out to be hacked..


The squat toilet looks much better now

yes, we think its better to hack everything first then screed. PM yesterday was saying that she wants to start cement screeding the walls liao, ask me to call aircon guys to come down to run piping first. but cos new toilet walls are not up yet, we told her its better to wait until all walls are hacked/built according to plan first then start screeding etc. she very kan chiong to move the project..! then she say if like that, our project will be delayed liao. but what to do? hdb so slow.

if they're doing the screeding on a work day, we won't be there..i don't think my pictures will have many workmen..haha cos we'll only be there after office hours or on weekends..

Reno Day 7

Visited house on Sunday to discover that hall + MBR floors have been cement screeded,
kitchen + svc yard floors have been waterproofed,
kitchen + bathroom walls have been screeded smooth.










Stainless steel strip used as divider between the MBR + hall

The to-be-hacked walls left untouched


Waterproofing done

That's too bad..

You not going to appeal? I realized that sometimes the HDB technical officer will try to play safe one...

[lilithfiend 0]

appeal? didn't know that was possible.....how does one do that? just call the technical officer? or must write in.......?
