very very very upset day ... :'(

i have always intended for my blog to keep happy memories.  thus for the past few months, i have always kept to posting the good vibes and things i like about my reno.  however today i can't resist posting this >(-_-)<.

so what made me so angry ... here's why???

false ceiling - before

false ceiling - after with aircon pelmet

do you like the aircon pelmet? well I HATE IT *fuming* it spoils the completeness of the ceiling and this stretch of lights is facing my door entrance ...

let's take a closer look ... my id has explained that the main purpose of the pelmet was for practicality of maintenance.  if i had known about this earlier, for practicality, i would NOT have opt for this layer of false ceiling ... waste $$$ on down lights and cove light *siao ah*

before i can get over the pelmet, the quality of plastering adds on to my frustration ... "BEST" i have seen.

well at least for the plastering, my id did assure me that they will touch up on it. well will update again, hopefully their touchup work can impress me m(_ _)m

what adds on to my anger ...

• at the intial design phase, i have specifically informed about my intention to get a system 3 and asked about where my aircon unit will be. the reply was i quote "for installation of aircon, it is easier to coordinate onsite with the installer" ... this was the so-called coordination !!!
• when the aircon installer was on-site to assess about the location of where to place the aircon, there was NO mention of any aircon pelmet needed
• i have gone with the aircon installer recommended by my id.  this decision was for convenience assuming that they will have better "chemistry" working together.  this is what i get for trust ...

for those folks out there doing reno, please learn from me ... always follow-up on the aircon installation and make double or even triple sure that you follow-up with your id on how the aircon will affect your design of the house !!!  don't end up like me having painful "surprises" :'(
