Hi jojozep,

Did you get approval for RC parking porch? mine got reject and submit again and approve with the conventional parking roof.

Your reno look much bigger than mine, mine tearing down nearly 60% of the house and is a intermittent lot.

Maybe because you have a long house, my front was not that "long" did not get it approved. Or perhaps the MPSJ just want to make some delay and find some fault. Anyway is approve with normal roof.

But plan to use the Glass awning instead of RC roof to let more light in.

I got a contractor working now, already tearing down the house. Hope he is good, as of 1 month work, he still have not ask me for payment yet.

haha...don't talk too soon...he don't need to collect payment, he will leave your house in a big muddy mess and then suddenly, he slow down to a stop and you will become more desperate than him...after that your hand will reach into the pocket and give to him just to progress on the job...this is their technique....like magic..

this is what happened to me..these guys do this everyday and 'cari makan'. I realized that you cannot let them know too much..
as they will use anything..I been managing vendors and workers for last 8 years and I thought I can handle these construction workers.
I realize that they are 'even wilder' and they will exploit any opportunities...there is no gentlemen rule...

Also seem to want to play games..lucky for me, I am an arrogant bastaxd, I hate to lose. I can take 1 year off work to play with him.

This Friday, I will make a police report, kick his ass and take back my house, let us see who loses the most. mad.gif  vmad.gif

If things turn sour, worse is just not move in earlier. Not that i don't have place to stay.

Hope you get things settle.

Captain JJ, you doing the reno now? or still searching for contractor?

Mine is still renovating and i can't comment if my contractor is good, so so, or bad. So far ok dealing with him but need to remind him of things i need and what to do.

If you need mine, let me know. Or if you wait another 2 months i let you know how is turn out.
