Renovation Fuss

Weather: Fine
Mood: Exhuasted

I wonder if there’s anyone who hasn’t encountered a problem after he/she shifts into a newly renovated house. For us, the last couple of days have been hassles….

First, we discovered that the build-in closet in one of the rooms is problematic. We couldn’t close the closet door at all after hanging our winter clothing because it is being built too shallow. I was pretty mad about this fault because I have not once but many times emphasized to the contractor that I need lots of storage space, so I took few times to go through the closets design blueprints with him to ensure the closets are built to my expectations. Argh…… :(

Then, as we started to use our power supply, we found that most of the power sockets are loose when we plugged on our appliances. After dismantling one of the power supply sockets, we found that the sockets installed were of inferior quality. My husband was very angry that our contractor actually used such product that could put our life at risk. My husband made the contactor change all the power supply sockets after giving him a grave warning.

The above encounters are just 2 major problems we hit; there are some other minor ones that I would find it too bothersome to share with you.

The renovation contactor is someone introduced via a friend, and he has seemed pretty reliable through our interaction with him. All I can say is that.... we can never be too trusting in China.

PS: To the one who has written to me to ask for the contractor’s contact, through this post, I hope you understand why I hasn’t replied you. ~sigh~

PSx2: BTW, the broadband in my new house is yet to be installed. I’ll be back more regularly once I have my access to internet again.
