Now It's the Room

The nightmare continued ... and it was time for the main bedroom!

The ceiling was being sorted, and there were dust everywhere. We moved most of the furnitures out but the bed was just too big! We had to leave it be, and the builders put it right in the middle of the room, away from all their work and planned paintings ....

We had since moved to the boys rooms to sleep but we were still using the main bathroom. It was too much to move the wardrobe at the moment ....

Ceilings Done

The main living room was halfway done. The ceiling at least. Next would come the soft furnishing instalment on the living room while the ceiling work would begin in our main bedroom.

During this period, we would be sleeping in Idlan's room. Once the bedroom was done, the work will then shift to the children's room, my study and the small living area. Hopefully by time work were being done on the other rooms, our main bedroom would be back in commission.

The next month would be a bit of a nightmare as we had to move things about in the house.

The Renovation has Started

After moving into the apartment three years ago, we finally got our act together and settled for a renovation. Anita had a few ideas and managed to engage an interior decorator that suited her taste. So, the first day of renovation was today!

Cue the dust and the noise, it looked like this will go on for another month, in phases. We started out with the main living area first. By the end, the whole apartment including the maid's room would be transformed.

Hopefully everything would be ready before Irfan's birthday in February just in case he wanted a party.

Anita was under stress at the moment as the maid would be away for Xmas. The renovation would also be on hold during the holidays which gave us some respite. We might have to spend some time away from the apartment when our master bedroom were being upgraded. Hopefully that would be in a couple of weeks time ....

Paintwork

The whole of the ICU at the hospital smelt of paint. And the smell was overwhelming. Imagine if you were sick and wake out onto the corridor ...

It looked like the painting had gone onto overdrive in the last week. Good thing they had those signs posted everywhere. Should you got paint on you shirt, you would definitely be asking for it ...

Unreasonable Neighbour

Anita had a shock when she went over to our Taman Cemerlang house to let the cleaners in. The house opposite was doing some renovation and they placed the skip right in front of our house.

To make matters worse, the entrance to the house was blocked by a parked car! We had a car in the garage - belonging to my brother-in-law currently in Turkmenistan, but they probably would not care.

Good thing we rarely stay there. I liked the house, especially during weekends but in the last few years it had become crowded. I didn't think it would fetch that good a price if we were to sell it off either looking at the neighborhood.
