Tml morning will be a mad rush of touch up and misc. outstanding jobs.

First, electrician have to come and fix up all the loose wirings in kitchen, living and WIW. Tiler to come and patch up all the grouts. Then the glass partition installer must come and install before the painter can commence on the final coat.

Then the carpenters have to fix back the broken doors, soft closings, clean-up and finally the plumber to connect back the sink and to install all bathroom accessories........

Mad mad rush......... can finish in time??? We shall wait and see.......

Cheers :)

Painting was done but not a very good job. Metal gate didn't do up nicely and they actually locked the gate with padlock!! imagine the abrasion and not to forget the thumbprint the workers left behind after it's completed!...... Haiz........

Plumbing was good. All accessories was installed at the exact location that I want them to be. Good job!

Electrician came and able to do up all the power points before the painting commence. Good job!!

Only one carpenter came to install the broken door panels and soft closing. Able to nego with him and the boss to replace the tic-tat door due to the uneven-ness and misaligned laminate. Felt the fellow was nice and able to accept the criticism and dismantled the door to ratify the problem back at his factory / workshop.

Glass partition was wrong. Stated frosted glass finish in contract and came a piece of clear glass!! Then tried to smoke through saying the frosted effect is actually a piece of adhesive paper that will be pasted on top. Called up ID and told him to replace the glass as I'm not going to accept this kind of promise.

Tiler suppose to come and patch up all the grouts but have no idea if he came as it was getting late and no news from ID.

TV came as well but due to the painting, unable to lock it up. Ended up have to carry back to in-laws place to keep first.

Best part. All the rubbish are still outside when I went back around 6pm. Think all the workers are trying to wait for someone to react so that they don't need to do it. Haiz..... being the itchy hands, think will clear myself tomorrow when I go up.

Out os so many jobs today, only two out of five. Fantastic?!?!!?!?!?!?! Sometimes wonder if referral is really a good thing like mentioned in the forum. Ended up getting frustrated and pissed off at times. Don't think I should be in such a situation when I pay to get things done. Haiz......... think dependent on myself to get things done is better.

Been awhile since I updated this t-blog. mainly due to work commitment. Was away for a week so unable to load pics and progress. Anyway, here's the update.

TV set mounted, sofa delivered, dining table shipment delayed.

Things to rectify :

Tit-tat door for bomb shelter. Trying and trying to get it align with the rest of the feature wall but still unable to do so.

Some chips on veneer door and carpentries.

Small chip on partition to kitchen.

Some soft closing not acting as soft closing. Have to change.

Next week, wifey not ard for 2 wks. Taken leave to clean and tidy so that she will come back to a kilat kilat home. Hopefully things will go smoothly. Still need to mount curtain rods and curtains, dressing table and mirrors.

Wish me luck y'all

Cheers :)
