House Renovation: Week 20

The contractors missed the deadline. It was a stressful weekend especially for Hubby. The contractor for grill appointed by Miqdam did a bad job. I ni malaslah nak sebut perkataan "inilah contractor Melayu" but then memang dah teruk. Certain windows were OK, but there are a few which did not fit or like an inch smaller, but they crammed the grills anyway. The one at our bedroom was so flimsy, Hubby managed to pull the grill down. We installed the grills not to make the windows look pretty, we wish for security. Kalau nak cantik memang tak payah pakai grill lagi cantik. And they scratched the tinted windows.

Miqdam had a hot day on Saturday, not only from the heat, but also some "high notes" from Hubby. We don't really put the blame on him, but I guess he trusts those contractors fully based on previous works and didn't come to check. They even forgot to make emergency exits for the bedrooms. That's the law now, we don't need to request.

Hubby took a break from the house on Sunday to play golf which was good for him after all the stress. He can play now that his injured arm has healed... and even brought back a prize last weekend from a tournament - a table fan. I wish he could bring back a plasma TV the next time around :)

Anyway, today after work, we dropped by the house and my heart "healed" instantly. The grill contractor rectified all shoddy work they did (I believe after receiving some nice words from Miqdam). All grills now have this extra "stuff" they screwed and welded in, and the emergency exits are in progress. Almost all electical wiring and lights have been installed. I think we can really clean up the house this week and move in this weekend.
