8 Apr End of week 3

The rubbish were cleared..and painting has started.. In fact in 1 day they completed the ceiling for the whole hse.

But the walls have some dents here and there which need rectification..the painter already patch some .. But still quite a bit left.. Hub circled them up.. Heh

The false ceiling at dining area.. Made the ceiling quite low.. I'm sure we can reach the dining light when it's up

I realised that yesterday too. My electrician lay wrong wire casement, I asked him redo lay, when he pulled out the casement, the plaster chipped off and a dent was formed. There was one very serious. A big chunk of plaster came off together with the real wall. One big lobang.

I'm looking for those vertical L shaped plastic which can be sticked to the corner of the walls to precisely avoid such dentings. I see it a lot in Japan and US but I can't find it here in Ikea, Daiso and DIY shop. Best I found are those cheapo soft plastic which is coiled up in a box and it is hard to be straigthened. I have tried taping it onto the wall and usehair dryer to blow it hot, hoping it would straigthened but don't seem to help a lot.

Not only the corners are dangerous, even the wall surface is also dangerous. Feels like the whole house will chip off anything.

Now all the walls are painted white, your house looks bright now. Previously it was moody hehe.. The window in your kitchen is tinted?

hahhaa....i was wiping a stain on the newly painted wall and 2 small chips came off. the painter who came rectify explained it may be because that spot was cement or plastered and the painters painted it over so it came off quite easily.

Every chip came off, my heart cracks one time. Heart pain
