Together with Chiauw at the new house today, we spent the afternoon with the plumber, William and the general contractor, SanMei to discuss details on how to run the plumbing pipes and synchronize them with the floor tiles. They were very thorough, discussing and pointing at all the design engineer possibilities so it works according to Chiauw's architectural design.
Chiauw is a very detailed professional, a true architect. She spotted unacceptable details - works that were done the past days, and quickly pointed out to SanMei to rectify. Half of the time, I felt uncomfortable and perhaps, I was just not too interested to participate as it was just too 'technical'.
Few renovation details need to change .. again! After William and SanMei left, Chiauw briefed us on the house structure and the limitations that we are facing with HBD. However, she assured us not too worry. She will personally address these issues with HDB.
For next week, SanMei will start to screed the floor and waterproof it before laying tiles later in the week. Meanwhile, William is to start running the water pipes all around the house.
The renovation that was done so far:
01. Dining Ceiling Arch has been levelled.
02. Entrance to Kitchen, from Dining, levelled.
03. Guest Room - The new entrance
