I must say that the progress of my house renovation is relatively slow and it could have been faster. But I am not complaining because hell! The person that contributes the most to the delay is that leggy, mocha colored, fickle minded ME!
Our contractor Yanto is also a bit on the blurry side but that’s just because he is kinda afraid of me. Not that I am fierce, well I may be a little like Sasha Fierce (buekk vomit blood), it is the things that I want for the house that is kinda eccentric and Yanto cannot and dare not proceed with the simplest work without getting my approval.
Everyday we would go to check out the works at the house and I would take the photos, so I guess why not paste them here. It would be nice to read about this again next time when Miki has torn down the house using his toy backhoe we were old and grey (touch wood). See part 1 here.

We came to the house to find debris ankle high in the dining room. All the dreary white tiles with blue reddish flowers has been removed from the wall. Same went for a few parts of dry kitchen – all tiles down on the floor. As for my wet kitchen, I am not gonna do anything to it because it will only serve as wet kitchen and laundry room only.
Here is Miki standing on the horribly dusty debris.
Here is Azman posing-posing poyo. Takkan la nak clearkan batu-batu pakai penyapu nilon. Agak-agaklaa poser pun.. heheh..
20 April 2010
The next day we found the huge trash trunk or Economy Dumpster whatchamacallit, at the porch with all the tiles and concretes in it.
Inside there were some construction tools that Miki loved so much to play with. Must be giving him a Handy Manny feeling I guess.
We went to the dining room and all the debris have poof! Gone! See the room so neat and DEAD!! They have removed the wall and flooring tiles from my dining room like TOTALLY! Cool! But the dust in this house was also killing us like TOTALLY! I cannot imagine living IN a house that is going through renovations. Must be like living in a nightmare.
Backsplash tiles still intact. We’ll see what’s in store the next day.

On 21st, more construction stuff have been taken to the house.
Below is plaster plates for my plaster ceiling I believe.
The guess bathroom is in the process of tearing down. Yucks! Geli giler tengok gambar ni!!
Apart from the bathroom, they have also finished all the removal of tiles in the kitchen floor and kitchen walls. In my dry kitchen we have two parts of cabinets, one is fully made of wood on the west wall and another on the south has a concrete base cabinets. The workers had also finished removing all the tiles from this concrete counter top.
Yay! So there goes some progressive works that have been done. This is our old age, old fashion humble house. Gonna be our home sweet home nevertheless…
babe, i pecahkan dapur and still living in the house. go figure. gatal badan hari2 melissa pun sampai sakit. dusty siot. thank god dah habis.
p/s cant wait for the finish photo of your house.
Eintanz, ni last month kan.. around the time Azman yg mmg ada sinus terus kena flu teruk giler sampai demam, batuk, sakit tekak and selsema. Miki pun selsema gak.. I je kuat tak kena apa just perit tekak sikit.. sangat dasyat penangan habuk tu.. gamba dah siap tatau la nak buh camana.. buh gamba jamban pun dah ada org kata poyo..
biarkan diyana. i so feel you. i suka jamban ok. masa nak pindah pegi tgk jamban bagai nak rak. last tak tukar sbb husband ckp pakai dulu sbb i punya baru. so bila u pecahkan toilet i sooo suker. toilet is everything to me. u buat dry toilet tak? cepat la upload.
p/s – nak gak tambah kan….anyway i think yg cakap poyo tu kesian la (sbb i tau ada gak kata kat i) maybe tak boleh tukar jamban atau pecah dapur. or they are just not into the www. but what the hell are they doing looking at your blog if they are not intrested? cepat letak gambar dah siap!
eintanz, hahaa… dry toilet tu apa? (saya bangang!sila tampar saya light2) tak kot… sebab my bathrooms are all kecik2… yg dry tu kena bilik air besar.. and kalau nak besar i kena pecah dinding and extend rumah.. which i takde duit nak buat la kannn… heheh.. gambar your kitchen reno ada kat FB tak? haritu i nampak satu je yg conteng2 secret code kat dinding tu… so funny u say “i suka jamban” ehhehehehehee
oh yess saya sangat suka apa2 ygberkaitan dengan toilet. so jamban berkaitan ngan toilet kan? apa yg funny eh heh heh. ala kecik pun u bleh buat. buat la partition tu. sekecik mana pun you boleh buat. dry toilet best you. letak carpet. pagi2 termenungatas jamban canggih pastu kaki tak sejuk. hmmmmm….
my kitchen dah ready tiled up tinggal plaster ceiling and nak letak cabinet. dah siap nanti jemput dtg rumah ler..takyah post2 ramai tunggu nak kata poyo kan kan kannn… hari tu tak tahan nak post gak satu dinding ahaks.
eintanz, ya lorrr… these people think we are bragging but ayoyo.. i read other people’s blog lagi mabeles rumah mereka, banglo, semiD yang harga juta2 tu.. if they find my blog sure gelak tgk umah buruk I. kesimpulannya it’s not bragging – it’s writing about what I feel good about in my blog and share my happiness even if my happiness itu sounds poyo to some people and sound nothing great to others. takkan depa nak dengaq cerita i sepak landak, cerita i gaduh dengan jiran je… cerita i teraniaya je suka cerita i happy kutuk.. huhuhuhuh
MAJOR renovation! I like, I like
hahh btol btol btol…kalau u citer accident ke (touch wood) org cakap kesiannnn…get well soon. kalau cter tersepak landak, org cakap kesiannn…pakai la minyak gamat cepat tangkup luka tu. apsal bila kita citer part keluar duit org nak cakap poyo ah? aku tak paham la.
emm..emm..brape tan berat habuk concrete & tiles kat atas tu..?! patah pinggang kalo en. azman angkut nih..ha ha =P
Diyana memang tak dpt nak dibayangkan tinggal kat dalam rumah yang sedang direnovate…habuknya tak tahan…rambut pun rasa keras kejung..muka pun rasa seinci tebal habuknya…
