1) Water tap at balcomy for my fish tank, told the contractor to drill nearer to the side of the balcony wall but end up they drill at the center, and route a horizontal pipe across.. haizzz... :( luckily ID resolve this pretty quick.

2) washing machine water outlet install at the center, which took up the space of my WM, end up not enuf space to house the WM... currently still pending rectification. hope this could resolve fast.

Yesterday went to check out the installation of bathroom accessories and meet up id. All items were installed. Only the towel rack in Mbr bathroom need to reinstall as it was too high for my wifey. Tiles need to change out after redo. Id ok with it and I feel very pai say, cause it's me who told the plumber to install at that height. Never think hard enuf. Next abit regret doing the box up of my Mbr bathroom pipes. After installation of the toilet bowl than realize my poo poo space very squeeze. No choice, have to bare with it. Can't put on any more weight, if not no room for poo poo.

Few photos to update.

Mbr bathroom. See the space for poo poo.

Congrats on your completion of reno. All the best on your moving in :)

Noticed ur toilet roll holder is right behind, isn't it inconvenient after 'doing business' must turn back couple of times?

My MBR wc is just like urs, in between boxup wall and vanity cabinet, also no space for toilet roll holder at the side of wc. In the end, we place the toilet roll holder infront of the wc, better that taking the risk of a twisted back.. Haha...
