Every cloud has a silver lining. I understand your frustration and share your agony, having been through the same renovation journey. Now, finally completed and going to move in soon.

I didn't have an extensive renovations like yours, mainly tiling works in the porch, backyard, kitchen, 5 bathrooms, balcony, building brick walls, etc. My tiler completed all these works within a month. He brought in 5-7 workers on weekdays as weekends are prohibited to work by the management. He told me that all his Chinese workers are being paid daily between RM120.00 - RM180.00, so he can't afford to delay the work. The faster he completes, he can moves on to other jobs.

My plaster ceiling, plumbing and electrical wiring were working in tandem with the tiling. So all my wet works were completed within a month.

Painting took 8 days for interior and 2 days for exterior (Grd Flr, brick wall and fencing). All painted with 1 coat sealer and 2 coats primer.

Grinding and polishing my parquet floor ate up 2 days. Post renovation cleaning took another 2 days.

Finally installing kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, pergola, grills, gate and autogate, outdoor filter and pump, retractable awning, air-conds, fans lights and soft furnishing (curtains and rods). All these are done within 2 weeks.

To me, 2 months seemed like a long, long time and I can imagine how your life is being affected as your reno is more complicated than mine. Hang in there and I'm sure you will find a solution to your problems. Have a little faith!

Cheers.
