The Cost of Rapid Development, First Hand!

With pressure to construct tower blocks and indeed whole communities quickly, it stands to reason that some corners will be cut along the way. We are starting to experience that first hand in our apartment.

On Saturday for the first time I noticed some blistering on the wall connected to the bathroom, then on Sunday I noticed some on the wall that separates the living room and the bathroom. Today, it looks like this:



Yikes. I think it will be a big job to get this fixed. Suspect that the tiles and grout that went in were not water proof. Bear in mind that we are the first tenants in the property, and have only been here 2 months!

On a positive note, went to the gym today and had a great workout - 20 mins cardio and about 15 mins light weights (very light!). Now if I could just cut back on the junk food....
