Renovation

So Pa decided to renovate his master bedroom; he wants to have a wall or something in the middle and make 2 rooms from that master bedroom. He's going to move to the guest room downstairs. So now, this house is going to have 8 rooms. No master bedroom anymore and it seems that my room is the biggest of all.

8 rooms?? Bro Pian has his own room, I still occupy my old room because I go back home every weekend, Bro Wan only comes back home on weekend too but not every weekend pun, Sis Yanie will be moving to KK, Sis Yana works in Kelantan, Sis Yanti will also be working in Kelantan when she finishes her Phd, therefore I don't think we need so many rooms..

Well, renovation has started. I hate renovation. Especially the sloppy contractors. You know the type that never covers your tiled floor or the furnitures properly, leaves dirty walls when they finished (no initiative to even paint it just because it's not in the scope of work.) and smoke in your house whereas they know there are kids inside the house..

So usually, Ma is the kepohci when renovation work is on going. She will told them to be careful with the tiles, inspect their work like every 1 hour and when those workers borrowed our tools, she'll make sure they'll return it back when the job is finished. It helps a lot to be a kepohci. Again, especially the sloppy contractor. You'll only know they are sloppy workers once the work started. Then, it's just too late to back off or change the contractor.

Same thing happened to the renovation at my work place. The doors are all senget, you can see it when you close the door, the gap between the door and the door frame isn't even from the top to bottom, they didn't measure the hinges or covered the carpet with anything when they painted the door so when some of the paint spilled, it dirtied the carpet.

When the workers were doing my room at the office, I couldn't help being a kepohci. I asked them to clean the paint that spilled on the carpet in my room and on the wall, I said to be careful when removing the furniture because they were extremely very malas, they didn't lift up the the furnitures, they just pushed it and causing the kaki meja or the almari baju yang pendek tu jadi senget. Their works are not neat at all, sebab tu la murah agaknya and I can still see them at my office building. Some other department must've engaged them too. Too bad for us, good business for them.

And when renovation is on going, you have to be careful with your valuable stuff. They move freely in your house, so we have to hide the valuables or locked all the rooms that are not affected.

And when at home, you have to cover yourself. No more seluar pendek around the house.

Ma is in Sydney, so the kepohci isn't here :D I went to have a peek to see how they work just now and 1 word, sloppy..

I can't stand the drilling and the knocking.. I'm going back home to Putrajaya in the afternoon.. I cannot be the kepohci because I am not the boss in this house. Kat ofis boleh la :D hehehe
