For the last two days, Chiauw wanted us to be involved with her onsite discussions and supervision with the plumber, joiner and electrician. At the same time, she wanted us to inspect the works that had been carried out so far.
Right now, the renovation is still in the 'wet zone' - a term Chiauw used to cover works that involve hacking, tiling and plumbing. Our new general contractors have already started to do their works levelling walls and erecting concealed bricks to the plumbing pipes.

The aircon trunks have also been installed together with the compressor. The condensor will not be installed till after the paintings are done.
It is considered a neat job. First, there is no trunking exposed in the Living Room as hole is being punched into the Guest Room, and lined with the Guest Room's condensor, for its trunk to run to the compressor. Out of the Guest Room, the trunks are laid under the beam, which will be boxed up, into Masterbed room and to the compressor.
The condensor inside the MBR is hung against the beam [left]. We will later box up the entire recess wall to conceal the trunks [far end of picture].
The electrician has started installation works too. Hopefully, by end of this week, the tiles in the kitchen and toilets are completely laid.
