1. Did not visit site because we visit C at the office to hand over 1st claim amount at 2pm.
2. Brought up full copper wire to C and he said difficult to get full copper so we said we will get our own. C said he will then deduct the cost of the wire from his charges. I wonder how is he going to do that if the wire we buy is much more expensive than what he has factored in. We shall see.
3. Told us that they will mix the concrete and cast the back rc roof next Monday. The wooden frame has to be on for one whole week. He will add extra iron structure to the part where we are going to put the stainless steel water tank.
4. Met the man Mr.L who will be painting our whole house. He knew the previous owner and used to rent the house to store his paint (We did know about the house being used as a paint store).
5. Told C about the decision to have the plaster in between bricks to be flat and not indented.
6. Requested for a quote for full stainless steel pipes installation.

Day 2 early rain

I woke up in the dark, hearing the rain outside. I guess the time to be around 4am? The rain only stopped at around 7.15am. Will the site be all wet and is flooded? I can only wonder.

We did not go to the site in the morning. We only went there at around 4.55pm and saw the workers (4c - 3 workers, 1 is the supervisor - he seemed fresh) preparing to leave. We waited until all of them left before taking photos of the site.

All the roof tiles and roof beams (the entire roof) have been removed. There is a lot of rubble in the last back ten. While taking the photos, I noticed that the skip in front is bigger so they have removed the first skip. Looking at the walls revealed, there is only 1 layer of brick wall between two houses. I wonder should we build our own walls.

Water is flowing in the drain like waterfall. We turned off the water mains but yet the water is still flowing. I can only wonder how much our water bill will be for this month.

Day 1 Half roof taken down

Visited site at around 3pm, half the roof has been taken down.

No rain for the whole day. The morning is cool and the afternoon hot and sunny.

Prep work

Notice board and hoarding went up.

Vent blocks

sample cabinet doors

Water meter

Ours should be like this since we are running external pipes.

Back ten

Nice colour

An example of an indoor potted plants setup. Very nice colour combination.

Jack roof

We do not want a jack roof like this.

Polystyrene Concrete mix

All the white solid circles seen in the concrete block below are polystyrene.

Spotted

The modern reno look - grey, glass, metal. The grey is too dark for me. I would prefer a brighter colour.

Back door

I would like a outer metal sliding door like this for the back of the house.

Spiral stairs

If all is well with the location and place, may consider putting in a spiral staircase up to the top of the car porch after 10 years.
