HIP starting today. Very excited

[Apparatus]

Can only tell you - never ever select the option to put portable toilet in yr house.

You may think it convinent, but yr whole house will smell like sh*t even some days after the HIP finishes

Yah I opt that out. It's not only your urine but those workers too. Have to wake up in the night and run downstairs to the provided toilets lor

The portable toilet will only be usable in the evening.
The drain piping is not inserted to the toilet hole in the day time.
So, the worker cannot use the toilet.

I opt for it and it save my life cos I need to shower a few times due to the hot weather.

Like that cover up they is do what, the ceiling and floor touch up?

 

[iluvchickenwing]

wat kind of tape u use? those will come off with paint peelings?

 

[RinoaX]

No, stay in my room at night

Good luck.

Moving out would be the best option.

I just finished my HIP.

Talk about tapes also angry

Masking tapes - Buy those from Industrial hardware shop. They are sticky. Buy from neighborhood hardware shop expensive and not sticky. Likely the glue dried up lor

Duct tapes - Can buy from neighborhood shop

Regardless of which type there'll be instances where the tapes come off from the surface. So paint touch-up will be needed

TS, how is the feeling of having all the pounding now if you are in the house now ?

Floor no cover lah. The HIP workers will lay some hard paper sheet and rubber sheets during work to protect the floor tiles

Ceiling too no cover

Some of my neighbors repaint their unit after the HIP

GLHF;

Finished my HIP about a month ago.

Just FYI, the 7th and 8th day will be noisy and dusty too as they will be cutting and laying both the wall and floor tiles.

You can siam the 1st 2 day when they are pounding.
Rem to stuff the gap of your door when you leave the house.

Rem to get the contact number of the foreman cos you need to hunt him down if you find any issue at the end of every day.

 

[Apparatus]

The HIP workers are now working. They put up a 2nd layer of plastic sheets as a secondary protection

The floors also covered and protected

I asked the hacking worker and he said to keep the same kerb

Better to keep the kerb
