Almost there


We are almost almost there to get our house ready. I am so excited!!!!

I don't dare to share the picture of the house yet cos it is so messy. Ok let me share the story on the house renovation and why we plan to move there. (not sure if i have blog about this before)

We try to sell the house earlier as I can't see myself staying there. We already have few prospect buyer but due to economy turn down the buyer can't get their loan approve. We do some quick thinking and since we are very sure to stay put in KL at least for few years so we decided to move in. And so the renovation preparation start to kick off.

We call a few contractor to get quotation on the renovation. Nothing much actually, we just want to extend our kitchen and get a sliding door and a pagola. Tiles porch area and do fencing as our house is end lot. Quotation come back with around 40-50k from the contractors. That doesn't include the wiring, grill and some quotation is without tiles. Doing more thinking we resort to self employed the workers. We engage with an uncle, (call him Wak Konteng) from my father's contact and start drawing a plan for the renovation. So much worried especially from me as getting local village contractor might end up the house be in total mess. The agreement will be daily wages and we buy the material.

The renovation started... and having our own plan without any paper contract of course it has become a live plan. We change the scope here and there, conflicting idea with hubby but all end up with a wonderful results. Well it still 80% towards completion. They are few more crucial item to think about like paint and lightings. The will start to paint this coming weekend and the kitchen kabinet will be installed on Sunday. Tuesday they will put in the sliding door and hopefully by end of Friday next week all the work has completed.

Update : Ops btw being fussy me I'll washed the house today myself. Can't stand their standard to wash the house....:D

Couldn't wait for the end results...Don't you ?
