After the flood,parents have been considering about renovating the house.It was also time for the house to be a little bigger as everyone is growing up now.So,for months we have been planning,designing and thinking of ways to maximise the space.
Around April,the renovation finally started.It is really a MAJOR renovation neither is it a minor one.Mummy really became a super mom.She moved and arranged everything to fit into the space that will be available during the renovation.Cupboards,tables,drawers,beds...In a family of 5,you know how MUCH things we have.So ya,she did all those by herself cos my papa was busy at work while we (my siblings and I) were in KL studying.
Finally,when the semester ended,sis and me came back to help my mum a little.We didn't move that many things cos most of it was done,only the choosing of materials(tiles,doors,paints),those kind of things left.Though it seems easy and simple,but it still took us a lot of time,especially when sis and me were having exams.But somehow,we managed it.
A little about the renovation now.At first,we had the whole house to us,the work only started outside.But still,the rooms could not be used and the toilet.Slowly,the rooms were sealed and then upstairs and now we are left with a living room,master bedroom and also a bathroom.
Living in this 'apartment' (won't call it a house now cos of the space) is pretty interesting.Though there are some inconveniences such as using the bathroom and also privacy,but we still managed it quite well,maybe even got used to it.There is a joke now that maybe we might just continue to seal the house this way and rent out the back of our house.
Some photos to show we are living...
Everyone would never imagine,us being able to cook without a kitchen.But guess what,my super mummy doesn't believe that renovation can stop her from cooking.
How are we sleeping?There is only a bedroom and a living room.So,mummy has arranged for my siblings and me to sleep in the living room,right in front of the television.The first few nights were difficult..mosquitoes biting,dogs barking,the small space..
Hmm..what else.Our things are all stored under big plastic sheets,to avoid dust collecting.Still there are when we opened it the other day,but slightly better than not doing so i think.It will be a massive cleaning and arrangement of things.
That's all i can think about right now.Will blog more about it maybe,when everything is complete.
