Stop it!

Yesterday, supervisor called hubby. To let us know that our issue with the arhitraves is still not resolved. He said that if we are to insist on the architraves, they have to stop on building our house since it get resolves.
What the #@$#$??? Trying to scare us huh? Well, since we ain't gonna be the one who is gonna be fined if the house doesn't get handed over to us by May, hubby told him 'okay, stop if you need to. just call me again if you have already figured out how to solve my architraves.'

duhhh! this builder, i don't know why they can't resolve a simple architrave.

He called hubby and told hubby that he will just put it straight on the wall....again, duhhhh??? Hubby told him, 'ello? nobody does it that way. look, i have sent you a drawing on how to do it, why don't you look at it and let me know what you think.'

So, he called again to ask for a meeting on the site on how he's gonna do it.
We thought that it'll be a struggle with them again, hubby and I are already deciding what are we gonna ask in exchange for the architrave. Haha! Of course, if we had to let it go then we had to have something that will pacify me, right? Anyway, when we got there, defeat was already written in their faces, they just wanted us there to confirm that what they are planning to do is right and acceptable to us. Way to go builder! That's more I like it! Wohhoooo! +2 points for you this time. :p

Frame, Roof and Bricks!

The frame is up. Yup, just after a week when the slab was poured, when we went back to the site, the frame was already up.

Then one more week after, the roof was there! Man, they are fast!

And when we went there yesterday, the bricks are already there ready to be laid up!

But yeah, our problem with the architraves is still not yet resolved. We have already spoken with the supervisor and his manager and still they couldn't come up with a resolution on how to do it. They are refusing to do it. Well, we just have one line to give them.... IT'S IN OUR @$@%#$% CONTRACT!

Oh well, let's see how it goes.

And yeah, I already have plans on what to do with the garden/open space. =)

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.

Slabbity do, slabbity da!

After receiving the good news that our land was already settled, Agent M called me and told me that our slab will be poured in next friday. or this friday. er next friday.

I was so excited, I didn't understand her. Ahahaha! So I had to text her to confirm. She texted back and said that it will be next Friday. Wohoooo!
