Wow... I am shocked to see the half kitchen wall tiles still remain there. Luckily you went to the house to check. Seems like the demolition work is a bit slow. Your renovation started the same day as me too.

His is bigger mah, 5 room. Maybe that's why the hacking takes longer.

Beluga always said surprise to see workers work late.. Mine out of 3 days only see them once when we come to check at 6:30pm..Our ID is the same guy by the way..

mayb they dont wanna clear the job too fast.. .. so slowly do.. if i'm the worker and there is no rush.. i rather do 5 days instead of 3 days.. since alot of them gets daily pay.. do fast get this amount.. do slow also get same amount... anyway.. i rather they do slow and the quality is there... than do fast and have more things to rectify later... for tileing that is.. hacking nothing much to rectify.. haha.. dont hack 1 hole into the neighbour house can liao..

We have more laborous work... All rooms with false ceiling and whole house laminate... Window and grills also all change. So, things definitely got to speed up...

Waa... You spoil market aa.... Next time, they come to my place asking for beer I jialat.... Hehehe....

Now it is my turn that the progress is slow. Yesterday totally nobody came to do anything, which I think should at least come to scrape off the old paint, remove all the screw/nail residue and patch up of holes before proceeding with the painting. Haiz.... Now I know how you feel.....

How much they quoted for plastering?

Mine will jsut do touchup for any holes and marking from the old trunking.... I wanted to patch just one wall as there is a ridge between 2 slabs of pre-fab walls but was quoted 400, which I think bo hua....
