not really smooth la.. quite a lot of things here n there.. quite tiring already..

Come to think of it, if really want to have a id that is 100% no error and 100% best worksmanship and 100% best in material use is like finding a needle in the haysack.

On the way (renovation process), there are bound to be some where that is not right or somewhere problems arises in terms of waorksmanship and materials. Just hope that it is a minor problems.

Anyway, that is where the excitment comes in right? Worry, happy, not happy, why like that, I dont like the way etc......I dont like this and that....etc

haha.. i know what u mean.. i was cleaning today too... so tired...

i mopped all the floors 2-4 times, wiped the windows a bit (no point since contruction still going on..), wiped the doors. Then later when hubby came, he cleaned the 2 toilets.

result: now house smells nice and clean.

my hands sustained cuts though.

Hmm, why need to wash so hard huh? I thought the renovation contractor will do a final acid cleaning for the owner? So, it is not really clean? That is why must wash again huh?

Regards.

Alpha, the final cleaning will only clean up 70% of the dust, dirt and etc.. Final wash still must owner clean themselves.. Like xlan, we also wash our unit until so tired.. but havent wash finish.. haiz.. super tiring..

xlan, i still owe u the pic of the gap in the sliding door already.. still waiting from pics from my hubby.. both super tired yesterday, no more energy to do anything.. LOL..

[Yang Guo 7]

ya agree with binzz..the final cleaning only abt 70%.. yesterday i clean my hse once in the afternoon. at night when i go to my hse to see again, its the dust is still there. need to mop the floor at least 3times i guess. so tired also, keke. but fun right? 1 person mop, 1 person wipe. lol..

hello happy.. no prob.. bring ur mom along la.. then my mom can chat with her as well.. haha.. btw.. wat's ur mama's dialet ah? haha.. skali can't converse.. hahaha..

anyway.. my sliding door pelmet is up.. has a little recess shelving on the right side (abv shoe cabinets).. finishing.. looks quite good.. thanks to lance.. but i tink i hate china constructions more.. when the wall is not straight.. the shelves n pelmet followed the walls.. the sliding door can't fit nicely when closed.. there is a very thin gap.. but ok la.. camera can't even catch that thin gap.. 那就算了吧..

thou the black tape still hvn't tear down yet.. still cannot see the 100% finished white door.. anyway..

for those still contemplating abt the sliding door.. may b u'd want to consider this gap.. picture taken from inside the kitchen when the sliding door is closed.. tis is to give way to the main circuit board on the foyer side..

Hi xlan,

Nice sliding door! Btw, is yours a 4rm or 5 rm? Cos my ID keep insisting that there is a circuit breaker box and he cant do sliding. Kind of piss me off.. arghh..

Btw, how much did your id quote you for the sliding door and false wall above the kitchen wall?

ha! it was NOT fun at all.. in the morning.. the washing uncle helped me got rid of the stains.. washed the living room floor.. wiped my room's laminates.. this was thanks to lance for arranging a better uncle to come wash my place again.. cos the previous guys were lousy n were not really doing their job.. so lance said he would feed back to company n black listed this vendor.. then he arranged another uncle (who worked previously with them n knew their standard well) to come for a last round.. thank god.. this uncle was nice n hardworking.. really did his best n clean my flooring till so clean..

BUT.. not even half hour.. the place got dusty again..

while my mom was wiping her wardorbe.. i wiped (not mop hor) my mbr floor.. then finally when my bear came up with lunch.. we filled our stomach n then continue on the cleaning.. however.. u'd tink by then wil hv 3 of us cleaning right.. holy WRONG! i was sweeping the kitchen floor.. n sensed that someone is watching n so i asked.. "为什么你看着我扫地?"... "我陪你嘛!"... kao! where got fun? where? when i was diligently sweeping.. instead of a helping hand.. i received a pair of monitoring eyes.. sigh.. tat's my bear.. wat to do.. shld call him king ah.. we all really maids lo..

but today gotta give him back some credits la.. he helped carry the heavy toyogo storage racks.. n installed them.. quite heavy stuffs.. he turned a sweaty bear then.. haha.. this has to thank him la! n my great fren, mwpoon, too.. helped installing with my bear.. but hv'ing "less cushion".. i tink he wasn't perspire tat much.. haha.. mwpoon.. tis is a compliment leh! hahahaha.. really thank u guys for helping out!

huh? can.. but will hv tat gap loh.. but binzz's id more clever.. help her solve this prob.. i hv yet to c her id's magic yet.. she was too busy to take pic while i was too busy to go her place.. hahaha.. may b u can check with binzz too.. tink hers could b a better idea..

mine is a 4rm.. i guess no issue is a real issue.. money is the only issue.. when budget concerns.. it is only id wants or doesn't want to help u tink n solve it.. .. sometimes when i tink of it.. sort of understand la.. to them.. they also want to solve all issues n make a really dream home for the clients.. so they can b proud of their works n feature on mags.. but they hv to ans to their boss on the costing wise.. unless the clients willing to pay.. or the boss willing to earn less.. otherwise.. they hv no choice but gotta cut down on their ideas in order to meet both ends happy..
