7 May 07- Our renovation contractor has officially started work on our flat. According to him, he will start by demolishing walls and arranging for the floor and wall tiles to be brought on site. In the same breath, he also added that this portion of the renovation would be completed by tomorrow.
Which is why we ended up taking a late night detour to our flat to check if he could live up to his claims. The first sight that greeted us was huge piles of construction materials in the living room. The next thing we noticed was the huge gaping hole where the walls of our study used to be.
We then quickly went around for a mini pre-inspection, and indeed, the remaining walls were all missing in the right places. So far, our flat had resembled a post-apocalyptic movie set, and now, with metal strips protruding dangerously from the wall frames, it was even more so.
As Her Royal Majesty and I darted around the piles of construction material, the sight of our flat in all its "rawness" was burnt into our minds. Although this is definitely not the look that we want to achieve, but somehow we are still just that little bit sad that we won't get to see this ever again. Strange but true.
