Hello @BunniBoi!

Ah, so you got your wish to collect in Feb after all, Congratulations! 

Although I got my keys last Dec, I am only going to start renovations next week ?. 

Probably your reno schedule will be very much in line with mine. 

Your living room is about the same size as mine, but the photo looks like your living room is very spacious, maybe yours is already tiled, mine not yet.

Defect checks and City Gas Piping

Defect Checking

I have arranged with my ID to do the defect check on 27 Feb. I believe she will know what and where to lookout for potential defects. At the same time, she can do some actual measurement of the physical place to finalise the dimension for the carpentry works. I have also arranged City Gas to do their site recce on 27 Feb as well. Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone (limited annual leave so must fully maximise the it).

After my ID done with the defect checking and measured the actual space for the carpentry works, she told me that the carpentry, furniture and appliances position are according to what she has planned. There isn’t any major defect/modification require, except for the carpentry work at my living room and shower screen for bathroom, which I’m thinking of changing the door for my bedroom and re-position the shower screen in my toilet.

Running of Gas pipes for Hob and Dryer

After we have identified the location for the Hob and the Dryer, we have agreed that the pipes should run downwards, as we have cabinet that able to cover the pipes away. To run the gas pipes, I must arrange another appointment with City Gas. This is how it look like after the pipes are put in-place for my Hob and Dryer.

13 Mar to 22 Mar – Hacking, Masonry and Piping works

On 13 Mar, my renovation officially starts. The wall that separate my bedroom and living was hacked away to make room for my TV cabinet. The aircon piping done and toilet door sealed up. 50mm kitchen cabinet plinth and shower kerb done too. One bad news is, my ID told me that my project will be delayed due to the current situation (COVID-19 + Malaysia lockdown). As their carpenters are all Malaysian and their carpentry work are all done in Malaysia before they bring it out to install. Currently there’s only 14 carpenters are here to support 60-ish IDs and their projects. Will have to see how things goes and plan along the way. ?

Before / After

I have decided to group my toilet bowl and the shower together as my wet area. Shower kerb created to split them apart and tiles for toilet done.

Hello @BunniBoi, still doing paperwork for reno.

I have to do flooring first, so other works got to wait. 

Previously was hoping to finish reno late April, but I don't think so now.

Hi @BunniBoi, 

Tiles already picked BUT just been notified that no stock. Choose another, again no stock because its from Italy...... 

Not rushing indeed because staying with parents, not that I need to hand over my current flat to new owner. 

Whatever pops up due to covid-19, I have to take a deep breath and then move on to deal with the issue, take an alternative route to resolve. Affects everyone... Press on... and wish all will be fine for everyone. 

Like mmoh mentions 'patiently',

Patience and keep one's cool ?

I think stop. Reno is not classified as essential. Even construction site also stop.
