Renovation Journey

It's 4am now and I cannot sleep because I cannot make peace with myself on how things turned out for the renovation of my 1st home ! 

1. Semi-Veener Door 

Siong Door has an ongoing promotion of a full solid door for $250 per door but I thought why not just let my ID earn a bit more from me ($330 per door x 3 doors) and it turns out to be a bad move. 

 

I have problems with my bedroom door not being sound proof especially if you have guests outside and a light sleeping child. 

When you knock on the door, it's hollow inside and you can tell it's cheap quality stuff.
And check out the workmanship. All the doors did not fit the hinges properly leaving a gap around it. 

It's a pity I have bad blood with the quality because I do LOVE the colour of it. 

 2. Glass Bathroom Door 
When the monster daddy wants the Bathroom door to be glass, I reluctantly agreed. I was worried about safety with a child running around the house but deep inside I know how pretty it's gonna turn out. 

At the pre-renovation stage when we decide on the shower kerb, I remember asking my ID if the glass door will hit the kerb and he said NO. 

Oh well, it turns out otherwise. I am going to make the monster daddy speak to him since his words weigh more. 


I may nick pick but I feel if I am paying a premium price, I deserve a premium quality.
