This small case liao....got come across need to stop work for 1 mth cos wife came back from operation need lots of rest....after that, complaint to HDB that one part of the cornice dropped down cos is due to the reno work, wall hairlines cracks due to the hacking and the best part is I only hack common bath flooring and they are staying on top. Whatever works going to do, need to inform them, may be it be painting, carpentry, lighting or plumbling. Need to update owner, also need to update the owner on top.

hmmm this doesnt sound comforting to me ... mine downstair neighbor's baby seem to have medical condition also. Anyway, sound like HDB double standard really exist though permit mentioned 9-5pm weekdays.

wow your owner must be screaming everyday

Based on mutual agreement, my current buyer allow me to stay (rent) max 2 months after handover. But wanna to avoid doing that.

chit-chat a bit, anyone know whether any hdb build with "vacum" or gap between floor. So that noise is reduce. I know condo have something like that. Nowaday, new high end/class hdb bto like in amk, tanjung pagar (duxton Pinnacle) cost around $700k+, so just wonder whether they come with such feature. But I know mine definitely dont have

Make sure the kdk soecialist install the fan for u. Cos most electrician can't install kdk properly. Experience it before when on to the 5th speed, it will start to "wobby" a lot liao. And kdk did not provide the balancing kit like other brands.

thnx jaskel. for the fan installation, kdk had asked me to contact Lim Kim Thye Electric (Jalan Besar - next to GR link). do u meant ask them to install the switch as well ? or my electrician will be able to.

hmm...ok, for my KDK babyfan, the instruction manual says CANNOT install regulator. If not will spoil the fan.

u might want to check the manual before buying? Might not be applicable though..

thnx again jaskel.

btw, I am on business travelling to penang today until wednesday. So update will around end of the week. ID mentioned the kitchen based should be complete then. Will see.

Day 5 (Thursday) - wet works & finalize on carpentry design

Discussed with ID & carpenter on site on plan 3D design. Some minor change on my tv console design - scv, player, htpc compartment at middle of console to change to frosted glass (6mm thickness) as concern the IR signal may failed if using solid plywood though there are "holes". Glass should not have any problem.

Didnt see much progress but ID reassure me that we are still on schedule. Luckily can speak Teo Chew, can discuss well with carpenter. Meeting end around 10pm.

Common toilet - with water proofing is done (2 layer). Pipe to be boxup with water proofing as well

Mbr toilet

love this tiles - around $14 persqft, ID gave it free but just 2 rows.

Since Lbox is up already, I guess the loud air gun "firing" process had passed, worry downstair neighbor will complaint again.

Wonder why they seal up totally the downlight wiring ... how would they know where is the point. Should they cut some square holes ? Anyway, leave it to my ID.

MBR Bathroom tiles - floor completed

Still worry about timeline ... ID mentioned base wall painting start tomorrow, so dusty how to paint & not seeing any carpentry work started yet, common bathroom tiling & pipe boxup still in progress ... stress stress
