The whole process actually worked out over 2 weeks. Week 1, contractor came and dismantled the previous aluminium structure which held the window frame and put up the door drame. Thereafter it takes another 1 week to get the glass ready to measurement and finally installing it to the frame.
A little drama ensued after the door was installed - the poor contractor was locked up in the toilet. He was struggling to get the lock to open for at least 15 minutes but alas gave up and climbed out from the window in the toilet!
This is how our door looks like now, without the knob! Yep, still unrepaired as we do not have the time to file a complain to the developer. Also J is still undecided if we should just change the door to the plastic foldable doors. I am against it though as all the designs we've seen so far are just plain hideous!
Since we're on such an efficient mode, might as well ride with the momentum right? So we got the masterbedroom's windows/door tinted. And since we only did comparison of cost quotations from 2 contractors, it was pretty fast and fuss free. Initially we wanted dark brown so that it matches the colour scheme we chose for the exterior part of the house. But since the contractor didnt have that, we chose a shade called dark gold, staying away from cheesy colours like blue, green, light gold and silver (too ah beng-ish! hehe). It's a good thing that we took dark gold, I like it better than the dark brown now that the glass is tinted.
50% complete with the other half to go!
Bamboo tint for the window pane at the bottom of the staircase
Next step will be to get the grill contractor to take measurements and install them, 1 week to prepare the grills. But we will have to wait for 10 days for the tint to properly dry so that it does not peels off accidently.
Can't wait for the house to be ready!
