Renovation nightmare Journal – episode 10

The nightmare continues…

So what did we have last week? Great news they finished the bathroom! But don’t get too excited as of yet…

*Whether you are looking to do renovations in your place, or you already did renovate your place, in that case, you know what I am talking about, you never know when you will need to make some changes to your home, you should read this, it might help you in the near or far future.

I managed to shower only once before my shower was shut down again. Yes, I know it is unbelievable. I was taking my time enjoying my new shower… 10 minutes later there was a knock on my door, they were knocking and ringing the bell impatiently. Opening the door I see 2 building maintenance guys saying your bathroom is leaking we came to check it. And they did. After that, I got an email saying I am not allowed to take showers anymore as I am flooding my neighbors until this is fixed. It was Friday afternoon… no one will come to fix it at this time, so of course, this was pushed to Monday 🤦‍♀️

I can’t even begin to tell you how upset I was. Waiting for this shower for 2 months, and finally, get it and have it shut down again…
They don’t know what’s wrong, today the plumber is supposed to come to fix it. I just hope they will not have to remove tiles from the wall…

In addition to all that Jazz, all other work was stopped a week ago as we are waiting for our planes to get approved by the city. Why waiting for approval again you are asking?

Well, you should know, every time you make a change to the renovation it has to be approved by the city even if it is an insignificant change. We decided to make the lower ceiling a bit longer instead of only above the kitchen. The inspector checked the plans, yes they do that in each inspection, and this is why we didn’t pass the electrical inspection. Instead, we needed to get the plans modified by the architect, which took a week to get, and then we needed to submit the plans again to the city to get approval, hopefully, we will get approved in 2,3 days. No matter what we do, if everything goes fast we will lose 10 days, if not, we can lose 2, or 3 weeks…

OOPS, it’s Christmas already…

And still, nothing is ready…

Happy Holidays to all of you. I hope to have a shower before Christmas… 🙈
