RENOVATION DAY 16: TILING CONTINUES

Today decided not to use my comp to blog about my house renovation. Just using my iPhone as I am very very tired today. Why you might ask?? This is the 3rd time I met my contractor past midnight. I must say today is the worst as I discussed with him until 2am!! Yes, you all didn't read wrongly and I didn't type wrongly. Really met him from 8.30pm until 2am!!!

Never had I thought that house renovation going to take even my sleeping time. Why need to spend so long? Few reasons:

1) confirm my laminate (called laminate company to send bigger piece, abt a4 size. So easier to confirm which laminate to choose)

2) gave my preferred layout for kitchen cabinets and wardrobes. What I mean is placement of drawers, how big each drawer, where to have casement doors, how high of each cabinet from the floor, from the wall etc. Wow.... Didn't know all these will take 5 hours.

3) choose painting colours

4) confirm all electrical points

5) confirm which switch to on which lightings.

Hmmmm.... I think that's about it.

Went to see my house progress.... It's quite good. Like all the tiles I chosen...now my bedroom does look big!!

wahah, electrical points and switch we decide on our leisure time without contractor involved. And take the paint samples and catalogue home to choose.

It's also good that you complete all in one meeting

Our kitchen cabinet layout is another joke. A cabinet that can't fit the LPG cylinder! (even though we did question him about this) So last min change layout (while carpentry is in progress). Feeling like banging his head right!

Your are fast lol. Just installed my curtains only. Enjoy choosing your curtain. It's another phase with eyes bombarded with designs and colours.

Make sure your pelmet has at least 6" for your curtain track/rod. Remind your contractor about this especially if you intend to have 2 curtains. Our "experience" contractor typically forgotten and leave us a space enough for 1 track only and even make the tv console next to the wall. That means curtain will be blocked and cannot pull in to the end.

How crazy is that and it is us who realise the problem and bring it up to him. Can you imagine what he said, he though we want to put half height string curtain!! OMG what a design consultant as stated in his namecard. Almost fainted

I did take all colour codes home to think through at home. Also, drawn on my floor plan where I wanted the switches and how many 3pin plugs. Already met contractor to talk abt it once but he just want to meet again to double confirm everything.

Yup, my contractor told me he will leave a gap of 8" so that the tracks are inside the Lbox. we did discuss abt it way before I went to choose curtains. He does tell me many many small details.

My choosing of curtains are quite fast! Settled everything in 2 hours and another bleeding expenses. Haiz....
