The Garden Wedding

After having fixed the leakage in the pipes running through the kitchen and bathroom, we started our actual renovation of the house, starting off with painting. Alas, just when we were feeling happy over how the paint had transformed our home into a warm and cosy place, we were informed by our painter that the plaster of our ceiling at many places were falling apart (!!!). Take a look at them:


Then, we realised that the cistern of one of our toilet bowls constantly leaked water into the toilet bowl. This means that the water constantly flows into the cistern in order to top it up. The next day, Hubby realised that the pipes underneath the sink in the master bedroom (MBR) bathroom were leaking (leaking pipes again!!!)

The HDB contractors were called in to rectify the problems, and although somewhat fixed (except the leaking pipes, which will require much more work), I cannot help but feel that with this kind of shoddy work, HDB actually charged us so much for the flat. Plus, this flat was built at least 5 years ago, meaning that prices of building materials is probably much lower than that of brand new flats (like those built to order), yet we were forced to pay a price that is close to the market value of such properties (which translates to a lot of cash given the current hot property market). So much for public housing.

Just hope that problems can be fixed soon, and none occur again.
