Anybody who had had their renovation work done to their house will know that any renovation is not cheap ........and we are expected to pay cash as the work progressed . Yesterday the contractor / builder called asking for another RM4000/- I have to check on the house again to determine and justify the amount he is requesting . So far we had paid three quarter of the total cost incurred .
This was how the kitchen used to look once the backyard was walled up . Welcome ..............
I'm not a builder ......because if I am I would have done this renovation improvement to my house as a DIY project . I might have saved money ........but I don't think it is easy as it looked on the TV .
Anyway , I don't have the expertise ...the technical know how nor the time to do so . However I am not ignorant of the fact that when one is doing such work , one should not ignore safety . A safe working environment hardly existed .................. among the contractor's workers .
There were no safety glasses used ....nor work gloves or any head protection .........no work boots .There were no face masks too........I saw them covering their faces with a piece of towel to protect them from the dust the moment they used the hammer , chisel or electrical equipment .
The noise ........hardly any hearing protection too . I hope they don't suffer from any permanent damage to their ears ......... In other words there is hardly any personal protective used by these workers . I hope and pray that no accidents will happen .
I wonder if the first aids box was available and that it was easily accessible . Perhaps there was one but I did not see it . Maybe it was under the pile of materials that had just arrived . Imagine if something happened and on one on the site could find the first aid box .
I wonder what was in the contractor's mind when he took up our renovation work project .........was his own safety and those around him important or was the project more important ?
