Building houses is no joke. Sasakit ang batok niyo sa stress. I should know because I am in the construction field.
Pero when you are building your OWN house, hindi lang batok niyo ang sasakit. Your wallets, head and whole being will hurt because no matter how ready you are or how knowledgeable you are in that work, there will always be something that will not go right.
In our case, done na all the ceiling: installation and painting works. They said done na daw all the electrical works so we did the Megger test. For additional knowledge sa mga hindi technical, Megger test is done to ensure that there is no electrical leakage in the wires. I do not know how to explain it more in layman’s term except that if the Megger test fails, that means mali ang pagka-gawa ng electrical ng bahay niyo. This is dangerous as it can cause fire.
Ang sensitive pa naman ni Alvin Sombrero sa ganyan.
And ayun na nga. When we had it tested, it failed. Kamote. We consulted a different batch of electricians to check the work of the original electrician why the Megger test failed. Grabe. Na-high blood si Alvin. Labo labo yung gawa and talagang mali. That and imagine having no ground in the sockets? Galit talaga ang jowa ko because he specifically instructed the electrician to put grounding para safer.
The new batch of electricians corrected the works. They went inside the ceiling again.
Butas butas tuloy yung supposedly finished ceilings namin.
There are more holes like that in the other parts of the house. There are a lot of ceiling paint that cracked too.
Bwisit na bwisit ako nung Sunday. Sayang all the man-hours and materials spent just because hindi lang inayos yung work.
In fairness to our contractor, they’re okay naman in majority of the other works. Dito lang talaga sila pumalya sa electrical.
And here’s how my kitchen cabinets turned out.
Gusto ko maglupasay.
From the swatches of the kitchen cabinet contractor, I chose a white matte finished laminate.
When it was installed, ganyan na siya.
In person, it’s has a bluish gray color. Halos malapit na siya sa light lavender.
I couldn’t understand.
Tama naman the code of the swatch that I gave with what they fabricated. Hindi ko alam na bluish. My coordinator with the kitchen cabinets insisted that yan daw yung pinili ko na swatch and that was what they gave to the warehouse. I told her, “Yes, I know. Wala kang mali. You gave them the code of the skin that I chose. Pero iba talaga ang color ng swatch sa actual! The swatch was white!”
I even showed her my kitchen pegs from Pinterest.
White and black di ba?!
She knew I was right. I do not know bakit white yung swatch then yung actual is light lavender or bluish gray.
I told them sorry but they have to change it. Misrepresentation talaga kasi eh. I know that that was the color that I picked but everybody in the world knows that I will never pick a halos light lavender colored kitchen cabinets. Simula’t sapul, black and white na talaga ng theme ng kitchen ko eh,
Ang sakit ng bangs ko.
Buti na lang maganda kinalabasan ng mini library ko.
That is probably going to be my favorite part of the house.
Yan ang ang kinakatuwa ko ngayon sa bahay. The rest, kamote.
Konting tiis na lang though. I know hindi aabot everything by our target move in date pero wapakels na. I’m not pressured naman to leave our current house because, heller, amin na man yung bahay. It’s not like it’s rented and kailangan namin lumayas on a specific date.
Piliin lang ang ikaka-stress, ika nga.
Osha. Balitaan ko kayo again soon!
