Yes! the Renovation works has begun as our contractor has applied for reno works. So within 3 days, he must finished his hacking works. However, although hacking works has been approved, contractor tells us that our hacking works for the toilet was not approved!!! So he started hacking the floor tiles out, but the stupid toilet walls are still there.
So we got our PE to submit his endorsement plan of cos drawn by mr goh himself. And was submitted last monday, if by tomorrow, we still haven't heard anything from HDB, mr goh has to go and chase HDB! Cos this cannot wait!!!
hacking to the floor tiles....all are being destroyed here...and there was this little boxed up area which we were so curious about...and ta-duh!!! after the hacking, it reveals a meter box which every unit has AND a Ripple Control Device!!! OMG what the hell is this! alamak, because we are the corner unit, we have this stupid box that transmit the electrical wirings to the rest of the other 3 units!! WTF in my compound????!!! why can't it be placed outside!!!!
URGH, ask the electrician, he said that we can't move it!!
OMG so big these 2 boxes add up together!!! See the photo on the left, that was how it looked, and we (contractor, parents, ourselves) were all wondering what the heck this funny protuding thing was, really! it can't be a beam, it certainly is not part of a column and it certainly doesn't look anything structural to me. i mean what was the previous owner trying to conceal???!!! NOW we know!!!
DAMN ugly lor! and we really cannot have a wall which is so thick to 'flush' with this stupid box. SIGH!!! why we kanna this shit. Contractor also dunno how to resolve this. only method is to box it up like what the previous owner has done but this time for us, we will house it inside the common toilet so it will only be visible when u visit my toilet.
Double sigh.
To HDB: I really can't move it elsewhere???
more hacking to the floor tiles...and yup we know of the IC that is underneath our kitchen cabinets...this little 'hole' will be the ending of all our waste management. Contractor is now scratching his head on how to connect our toilet upstairs waste diagonally across the house down to the kitchen area. And our PE is here to inspect the beam as well, as this stupid beam is deeper than the others. See, my PE tiptoe abit his head is reaching the beam already!!! This is how low my ceiling is! So those who are 1.8m and above, please stay outside, this house is only meant for hobbits like me. For whatever reason , i have no clue again to why this special beam is so deep, but the good news is that it can hack! so that i can have a higher ceiling space!!! Good riddance! Speculations are that the previous owner wanted to hang the aircon unit so they purposely made a deeper beam. *sigh*
the hole in the wall is also another test by the PE to make sure that it isn't structural before he endorsed it for hacking works. Good good, cos we really want this wall to be gone so that we have enough ventilation through this long house of ours. Light and ventilation is very crucial to us.
okie, next post i shall blog about the bird nests which we found in our roof!!! yah , we get loads of shi*. and no, they are not swallow's nests, so no bird's nest soup for me.....
