We are in a hurry to move into our Condo once it's ready for key collection. Can we move in as soon as we got the key? are there things we need to do or watch out for before that? I think light will need fixing, what else and who can we get help to do these minimum stuff before moving in? i have spend last 5 months reading all kinds of blog, design ideas, and hours with IDs, contractors, it's just so tiring, and me and my husband just couldn't seems to agree on the ID, strangely we agree on 99% of what we like in the house but can't agree on ID.. lol. with the dates drawing near, i feel like just move in and do whatever minimum necessary, and then after we settle in, then decide whether to hack the wall, replace the kitchen, etc major work, which we couldn't decide on which ID to get the work done yet even though we already know what is to be done. Any advise will be really appreciated. I am really stuck now, drowned with so many choices and options. -
I bought a new apartment with my boyfriend recently. Prior to our acquisition and renovation, the place is bare since TOP, which means it was not stayed in for about 6 months. We are not religious/superstitious people, so we didn't really bother about auspicious days to step into the new house, start renovation and end renovation (although technically we will be putting some kitchen/bathroom accessories so renovation has not ended, going by my research?). Somemore, I have already started moving our things into the new house. Thing is, my boyfriend's mother wants us to move in after chinese new year, saying she will invite a shifu to purify the house for us and do the stove ceremony and everything. She assured us that we can still entertain our friends at the new house. IMO, a shifu is not really necessary right? I see the other forummers can just do the ceremony themselves. That is if we even want to do it since it's weird that we have not done it previously but only starting now. Another thing is, is it true that I can entertain at the new house before we do the ceremony? By this I mean: (1) inviting friends to play mahjong (2) inviting friends to hang out there (3) inviting friends for dinner (4) us just hanging out there (5) cooking? is it allowed? i.e. can we use the stove, and if cannot, if we do steamboat and stuff without using the stove but using an electric pot, is that fine?
