Hi all. Any suggestions?
I currently stay with my in laws. We got our new place earlier this year but because I'm pregnant, we agreed to listen to the elders' advice not to renovate due to their superstitions.
Now, the house behind my in laws, which my room faces, is being torn down and to be rebuilt. Works started last week.. Just hammering and drilling to put up the structure around the plot of land at the moment. I don't and can't imagine how it would be when hacking and piling take place.
I have considered short term residential stays to serviced apartments, but I feel it doesn't make sense as the money can be better used for my own place's reno? To hasten things, we also met with our contractor over the weekend. But we haven't got permission to renovate/haven't informed any of the elders that we have discussed reno plans. In any case, I'm due in 8 weeks' time and it would be crazy settling reno and handing over work now.
Any suggestions? I've also considered sound proofing windows, but my contractor said there's no use cos its just right outside my window. Nor would there be any use for rooms further away from the backyard because sound/vibration travels through the ground too.
Annoyed that I have to deal with this at this time... With a baby and confinement nanny coming in.
Oh.. My parents' place is also out. Two condos and BTO are being built just 100m or less across from their place. At least I was advised not to return back to their home too. Hawhaw.
