Frustrations....

1. Yesterday, Dwyt had his first orientation of our unit and sir Jojo, a staff from DECA was the one who conducted the orientation. According to Dwyt, it was quiet a relief for him to hear sir Jojo agreeing every complains he had in our unit. Sir Jojo told Dwyt that for the mean time he will not hand-over the key not until all our complains are fixed by the contractor. But for how long?.. that we don't know...


2. So, Dwyt asked sir Jojo after the orientation about the water connection. Because how can we stay in our unit if we don't have water. Unfortunately, with some reasons I don't intend to acknowledge, sir Jojo told Dwyt that for the mean time we can use their water  for free located across our unit. In short, we have to fetch water outside. But for how long?...that we don't know...


3. With regards to our electrical connection, sir Jojo told Dwyt that due to some blah, blah, blah they can not provide us electricity for now however, he said that we might avail for an unlimited temporary electricity for two months and we just have to pay Php 1,500.00. Maybe, this is a good deal for the moment since we will be renovating our third floor interiors. Nevertheless, sir Jojo didn't guarantee that after two months we will have our own electrical connection. How long are we going to wait?...that we don't know...


4. Before Dwyt left the area, he talked to Engr. Edgar with some details regarding the weight capacity of the structure because we decided to tile the whole third floor. We are very much concern about the load of the structure, but according to Engr. Edgar as long as the materials for floor tile are ceramics then it won't be a problem. Although he added that we must apply for a permit if we planned to put up a window type aircon in our unit especially if we are going to crap out a portion of the wall in front. What? a permit for aircon installation? Is this for real?...


So much with all these frustrations, we have a big day tomorrow because we will start our interior renovation for third floor. Hopefully, everything will be smoothly done.

Dissatisfactory Visit...

Although Dwyt is scheduled for an orientation on Tuesday, June 19, 2012 still I insist to visit our unit together with our contractor kuya Alfred who will be in charge for the renovation. Surprisingly, this is what we found out in our most awaited unit...
Cracked Walls all over the Unit, is this a wall decor???
Rough and Uneven Flooring
Unconnected Pipes and Sloppy Space
Smeared Walls and some cigarette butts on the floor
Lousy Wall Tiling, I can hide my coins here...hahaha
Dirty Floor Tiles and modern sink???
Inconsistent Color of Tiles, or is this the latest trend now???
There's a lot more to show but for now, what can you say about our unit? All these things will be reported to Engr. Edgar right after our orientation, hopefully they can fix this ASAP!

Indeed, it was really a very dissatisfactory visit and a stressful one because aside from the fact that the unit was not completely done, there was this Security Guard who told us that we are not allowed to enter our unit because it's Sunday and the engineer is not available... Meaning, during Sundays we are not allowed to stay in our unit. CRAP!!!

Work in progress...

After 3 months (as of April 2012)...
Back Portion of the Ground Floor
Second Floor
Third Floor
So here's the thing, until now we still don't know what will be the final picture of our unit because DECA do not have a model house for the 3-storey unit. We have just been informed last May 31, 2012 that our unit will be turned over to us in two weeks time, so we'll see.

Not so much progress...

We visited the site to check our unit and this is what it looks like as of January 2012:
