And I am pleased to say, we are nearing completion in about 2 weeks&#8217; time. I can&#8217;t wait to bid this non-stop action goodbye as I am honestly feeling a tinge of weariness amidst the joy and excitement. Especially after today&#8217;s action-packed morning of rushing up on a taxi to open the door for the contractors and then rushing down back to city area within the next hour. I really wish to be able to move into our home and enjoy the fruits of our labour soon. <\/p>\n<p>What are my reflections from this process? I just wished I knew how to do plumbing, electrical works, retiling, carpentry etc. all by myself, so I won&#8217;t be so helpless and have to rely on the contractors\/vendors to do them for me.
