Yah, I feel sorry for my neighbours, because I bought the house not renovated since it was built in 1975, so most of the walls are there, but still needed to hack all the tiles and floor and removed a couple walls at the front and back, also had to redo piping and electrical.

Thank God my wet works contractor move very fast. Started end of June, beginning of Sept all the major extension wet works done, only left the tiling, flooring etc.

I did bring a fruit basket to my left and right neighbour to apologise for the noise right at the start. They were understanding.

Their houses also not renovated at all, but they've lived there since the start, so maybe one day I'll get my payback. haha.

Unfortunately, it cannot be avoided.
