House Renovations

We have been thinking of doing some renovations to the house but keep postponing it for quite some time. Last year we did painted the sliding auto gate and other than that not much was done.

The badly damaged floor tiles on the porch  was an eye sore and with 2 grown up kids, we really do not want their friends come calling and notice the mess created out of it. One other reason was that it was difficult to get Contractor Lee to come when there was not much work to be done. The bathroom doors were also giving way, so it was no choice but to get some renovations done. My other half tried to call the contractor but he would not normally pick up the phone knowing how difficult it would be to deal with a woman. So I called him and to my surprise, he pick up the phone and not only that, he promise to come the next day and wanted to start working without even haggling over the price of the renovations. As we have a prior engagement in KL over the weekend, we asked him to come the following Monday.He came on the Monday and started working and one thing leads to another. We started asking him to do some painting on the walls, railings and thereafter also painted the hall, ceiling  and others except the bedrooms. Sure, it was tough going with all the shifting of the furniture and others. Credit  should be given to my other half and the younger kid for their untiring efforts in getting things done. Dear, I really appreciate your work. Today the contractor came and install the 2 bathroom doors and tomorrow will apply the finishing touches. Though some monies were spent, it was a very fulfilling investment.
