Our reno at Geylang started out pretty quick but we hit into a bumpy road when we found out that there was an RC stiffener smacked right in our kitchen entrance area. And we couldn't hack it away even though it wasn't a column.
So we had to go back to the drawing table again to see how we can solve this "eyesore".

above: here's how it looks in real life!
The RC stiffener which was not in the HDB floorplan.
It was a
funny "L" shaped column. So we plastered it into a rectangle.
And then we found out about the "wrong" column size.
Probably will blogged another day about the super long column which was not in the HDB floorplan too. That was a mistake by HDB. tsk tsk!after that saga, which we went back to the drawing board again and quickly revised our floorplan, then our plumber told us that he couldn't connect the WC to the main sewer pipe because it has "dropped" into the ground. *yikes!!!*
And not to mentioned that we specifically chose 1 extra floor tile for the bedrooms as a back up and the 1st choice and 2nd choice both had no stock!! So the tiling work was slightly delayed and we took one afternoon's lunch break to choose the floor tile again.
all the trials and tribulations. our dear owner had to follow up with HDB so many times for all the funny little things that has transpired over this reno and still find time to update both the contractor and us. kudos to him!!!
So I would like to share some really nice photos of the progress we have made for all the bumps that has happened in such a short while.
all the bedroom floor tiles are laid!
