sumobear 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 Since tomorrow is the handover day, we went to do a last minute inspection on the flat and realised alot of things still not rectify so I think tomorrow is not an auspicious day to take over.Apart from mistake hunting, we went there to play with the lighting. Now my wall colours are all correct ICI Dulux 3 in 1:Living Room - Banyan TreeStudy Room - Timothy HayMaster Bedroom - Doll HouseSupporting Colour - White Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumobear 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) Hi guys...The whole place is looking good in the dark, cannot find mistake. When the light is on, we can spot so many things here and there. We even use torch light like a scavenger hunter to hunt for errors. Edited May 4, 2007 by sumobear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sumobear 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2007 I getting very paranoid and sick of renovation...my renovation has been on-going for 2 mths plus and still have not finished, so many things to rectify. Gosh...I need a break and have a chillout session. Supposed to do the handover last week but in the end I had bombed my contractor with a list of things-to-rectify and the handover date has to postpone to this coming friday. I am praying hard that I can get the flat ready by this friday because my furniture delivery is on the following day, saturday. I have to rush the cleaning before the things come in.I am sick right now...probably due to lack of sleep and stress from my worries of the renovation.

sumobear 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2007 I am going berserk already...fully loaded with gun powder. This week is supposed to be the 2nd attempt for the contractor to hand over the flat to me but we have another roadblock ahead of us. Supposed to have our washing machine delivered to our place yesterday and get our contractor to rectify our washing machine space because of a wrongly contstructed cabinet next to it, the electrical shop told us that they have forgotten to arrange for the delivery yesterday and will deliver it to us today but today the delivery guy called to inform that he is unable to send it today again. The delivery has missed 2 days and that means my contractor has to wait.Why my renovation is continuing counting.....it has been 2 months, thats 60 days and still ++++++++++......GOSH!!! Please put this to an end, I can't take it! Then my furnitures are coming in this saturday to an incompleted unit. Hope the delivery can be postponed.

Homeowner 1 Report post Posted May 10, 2007 Can the deliveries be postphoned? Please take care, see if you can take a break for a day and do something different like sports... I was also on a really short fuse when co-ordinating my reno, purchases and deliveries, tenancy and kids; hubby commented that I was becoming very rude and loud like village bumpkin from a certain country... In times like this, I pray... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumobear 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2007 I have to pay for holding my delivery because of using their storage space and my contractor advised me not to accept the furnitures 1st as everyone involved doing up my home are in an unfriendly term, everyone is holding back each another. They may sabotage the furnitures if they are nasty.What have I done to deserve all this? I pay out every cent for the things I want and I never even ask them to give me any freebies.

I have enough of it already. Everyday seem to be a struggle to move on as I am hoping that time will pass faster so I can have my new home. There are so many disappointments, one after another. Starting with the fake paint, cracking and popping cement floor, wrong size cabinet, wall cracking....everything seem to be major. Even after renovation, I also do not know if I feel good staying in a home with compromised renovation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
