water pipe burst

it all happened on last saturday... my contractor hit the water pipes when drilling hole for the dish-rack! imagine water flowing out from the kitchen wall, like water fountain! luckily it went straight into my sink, which is right beside it. we remember clearly that there were no sticker on that portion of the kitchen wall (stating there's water pipes). onionboy checked the photos he took when we 1st step into our cottage. confirm: no stickers! we got hold of hdb & lian beng people and ask them to look into this. it is clear that someone made on a mistake. there were no arguement... hdb supervisor got his plumber in and LB worker started cutting the tiles. the dust is killing me!! finally we saw the damaged water pipe & the plumber patch the hole with epoxy. strictly no water supply for the next 4 hours. it was a torture!

at about 7pm, onionboy on the riser. no leakage from the hole, water flow out from all the taps, except that the pressure is smaller. BUT as we turn the tap off one by one, the riser burst out with water! it was so dramatic! we had to collect water in different pails and turn off the riser. by then it's already 9pm... the workers will only come tomorrow morning.

sunday 9.30am: LB workers & hdb plumber came to rectify the problem. Yes, all is well again! (all these while, i was sleeping... been so tired after the hectic sat) i have to give all the credits to onionboy. he was there all these while...

what an experience! i'm glad hdb & lian beng rectified the problem efficiently. well, you can still find nice people in construction line, unlike titan creative! urgh... i have to end this post with a comment "go to titan creative at your own risk!".

meeting at 9.50pm

when we step into our cottage at 9.30pm yesterday, we had a pleasant surprise! as promised, eugene sent his electrician to work on the lightings. the 1st point is relocate the kitchen switch to outside. see, the tiles are still intact!
eugene came around 9.50pm, all the way from pasir ris. he needs us to confirm on the brick material so that he can proceed to order and do up by this week. hehe... our dream of having a brick wall is finally coming true!

i hope eugene will continue with the good works. we really appreciate his help in rushing the renovation for us, even after titan creative breach the contract. eugene manage to give us a time line with a short notice and when we told him we need to move in by september, he took the initiative to rush us for detailing. we're impressed...
