Project "Our Hive": Wired and Plastered Up

Peter, our contractor, informed us on Monday that the wiring works are completed. Today he mentioned that the plaster cornicing are almost done too. This means that the major renovation works to our house are mostly completed. With that, Shah and I took leave yesterday to inspect the work done. Then, we headed to The Cur*ve on our quest to kick-off the next phase which is the kitchen cabinets.

We went to Ki*an Classic's showroom there because I wanted to see if their '3 Rooms and 2 Halls' package (3R+2H) was still on. This package includes kitchen cabinets, a TV stand for the living room and 3 built-in wardrobes for the room. They also had a newer package called Golden 2+1 (G2+1) which comprised of kitchen cabinets and 2 wardrobes.

Unfortunately, the designer we met previously wasn't there as her shift starts at 1pm. So Shah and I went to I*kea to kill time and get some decor ideas as well as survey furnitures. While browsing, we decided that the 3R+2H package was too much. Our main aim was to get the kitchen done and the wardrobes for our room. So went we met Miss S at Ki*an Classsic's after lunch, we asked if we could take the G2+1 package but have both wardrobes in our master bedroom. How happy were we when she said that was ok. You see even with both the 8 feet and 6 feet wardrobes in our room we still had to add an extra 2 feet of wardrobe space.

So, suffice to say, we have placed the booking for a high gloss kitchen cabinet with additional solid surface worktop and 10 foot built-in wardrobe. Next week Ms S will come over to our house to take measurement and then do the 3-d drawings. Once we agree with the plans, it would take 3 weeks for the cabinets and wardrobe to be installed. InsyaAllah, we hope to get these done by end of May. But we can't install them until the developer has completed work on our complaints which we submitted more than 2 weeks ago. I've got to give them a call and chase them on this. But our complaint were a quite long list as we have some leaks on the ceiling and cracks high up the walls.

Anyway, with the kitchen almost sorted, we'll next move on to the next phase of lighting up the house.

P/S: I've got to take pictures of the house the next time we go.
