Initial Meeting with our not so super visor.

We had our initial meeting with our Bisor. It went well except for some minor disagreements. We were left with 3 major things to follow-up.

1. The lighting. We were surprised that they are going to put batt lights when we have a dimmer on the living and dining area. Batt lights and dimmer doesn't go together you see. We were surprised cause it was their sales agent who suggested for us to have dimmer lights, so hubs and i thought that it'll come with downlights. so hubby said,in order to settle that we will just provide the downlights, they just have to put it in the plan and fit it. Bisor said, he can't agree to that because we can't just add something into the plan. So he said that he will just have to remove the dimmer. And I said, 'hep hep, stop it right there.! And I will not agree to that. If you can't add things on the plan, you also can not remove things. My dimmer will stay according to plan.' So he said, he need to ask his electrician if the dimmer can go with the batt lights. Hubby already told him that it doesn't go together. He asked hubby, 'Are you an electrician???' To which hubby replied 'No, I am an Electrical Engineer.' So bisor said, 'Okay, discuss your downlights with the electrician.' =P Dimwit! Trying to be smart!

2. Our beloved architraves. They won't agree in putting up our beloved architraves. As to why, I dunno. They have reasons like the structure was already up, thus it can not accomodate the architrave. I wanted to tell him, 'If you ain't one and half of a nincompoop, why did you put up the structure without giving space for the architraves?' Since it is in our contract, and we have already paid for it, hubby and I are fighting for it. Since he is outnumbered, bisor called in his manager. And arrogant manager told us that they won't be doing it. And so we told him, how can he not do it when it is in our contract. And he was surprised. He looked at the contract. Looked at the price, shook his head in disbelief and asked us why they only charged a small amount for the 4 architraves, I gave him an innocent looking smile and said 'I have no idea.' So he said, he will just refund our money and they won't be doing it. Period. Hubby stood up and told him that that is alright if we agree to that. And as of now, we are not agreeing to it. We want our architraves!!!

So those are the 2 things that we need to settle next time... Hmp!! This builders, they think they can just walk away with everything. Let see how it goes, building just became interesting.

Yey!



Yep, I wanted to see it for myself.
The following day, I went to site just to see the slab with my own two eyes.
And yes it's there...Yey!

What, where, when?

Arrrggh! These what, where, when thingie just doesn't end.
Hubby went to meet Agent S to discuss our architraves. As the builder said they can't do it. ( That is after they have already quoted us and included it on the price.) What the @#$#@4! They couldn't decide on where to put it. Well, we know where to put it, they just don't know how to put it there. It is so frustrating cause we have already discussed this sooo many times.

Anyway, Agent S said since she couldn't understand what we want she would let us talk to the builder directly. Okay then. See how.

Hubby went to site once more as Agent S said that next week the slab will be poured in. And guess what? Yep! When he went there, slab was already in place.



As to when it was poured, we have no idea... nuninuninu...

So it begins....

Got the first billing from the builder.
10% of the total cost for the slab. Ouch.
Dream is fading, reality is starting to sink in.
I am not a home owner, I am a debtor!
And our 25year loan begins.. timer starts now.
