I finally went to my uncle's new home in JB. Frankly, it was not as I imagined it to be. I had imagined a big house. A prim and proper house with no loop holes whatsoever. But what I saw was a half build hut. Well... it is HOME to them but to me, it's just a house. Not more than that.
Frankly to tell ya, I'm 20% satisfied with the workmanship on my cousin's husband. It seems that he did the house in a hurry and doesn't show good quality of workmanship. Why must the house be slunting? By slunting i mean like the house is okay in the front side but the ceiling goes downwards in the kitchen making the kitchen lower than the front side. And the toilet/bathroom were both build on the same level as the kitchen which mean when anyone takes a bath,the water flows out the floor to the kitchen. The ceiling in the bathroom is so low that when I wanna open my shirt, my hands will hit the zinc ceiling. And I hate that. I mean he can build it without having to follow the structure of the old house right? And he could have build the kitchen a bit bigger. I mean his payment for helping my uncle build the house was 5k RM. The whole cost of the materials used to build the house was paid my by uncle.
The only nice place in his house is the living room area. Because the flooring is in mosaic and it looks 90% complete to me except for some minor cracks in the walls. I mean, when he first persuaded my uncle to let him build the house he promised sweet words such as he wanted to prove to people that he could do a good job of building a house, etc2 but in the end the work he does is like scrap sey.
I mean the house looked bloody incomplete. Haiya... maybe can't be blame cos it is afterall a kampung house. It is meant to looked like a kampung house but... my uncle paid money for the house. IF we were to employ a proper contractor he would have done a better job than this.
If I were to employ someone to build a house for me in JB, I'd ask a proper contractor. The end work will be satisfying. Rather than pay a relative to do it and he do it half heartedly. Then when we complain too much, he doesnt like it. Of course we will to cos we are the ones forking out the dough.
Anyways, will upload the pics later. I'm feeling so damn sleepy oredi.
ZzzZzZz!
