Frustrated with Renovations Progress

I can't believe this. After more than 1 month of renovations, our house is still quite far from complete. Before they started work, the contractors told us in 4 to 6 weeks time, it'll be completed. After starting, they say end of June. After some time, it became early July. A few days ago, it became 22nd July. Now, everything is still behind schedule.

The contractors don't seem to be able to activate their workers well. All they did today was to paint a few walls. A lot of the walls are still left undone. They were supposed to have completed painting last Saturday! Lights are not up though it was supposed to be completed by today.

Anyway, here are some photos of the house in progress.

Painting in progress:

Small window in living room. Bottom is now boxed up.

Grilles are up for all the windows

Probably our favourite part of the renovation. The platform at the balcony.


Store room door. For goodness sake, why would we need a magnetic door stopper for the storeroom door which is supposed to be kept closed all the time?!?! And now that the workers fixed it on, we can't remove the part on the door as it'll leave a hole...

The tight toilet bowl space and the window screen in the common toilet. Although it's still dirty now, it really looks much better than the old green flooring.

Messy kitchen

Messy living room as well. Can't wait for the old lights to be taken down.


Masterbed room toilet door. We wanted only 2 panels for the door (same for the common toilet door), but the contractor forgot to tell the sub-contractors, and both doors turned out to have 4 panels. The contractor asked us to accept it, and we actually said OK, provided everything goes well. Looking at things now, I'm so unhappy... We were willing to give and take, but they just kept doing things wrongly and delaying.

We're going to meet the contractors in the morning to talk things through and sort things out. Do they actually need me to teach them how to manage their workers?
