Hello Divya, Its unfortunate that you have to go through all this. Is your query towards the legal aspect or on how to complete the remaining work. For the second one : You may have to hire a renowned/ registered agency for the balance work. Yes, they are usually costlier but they have a reputation and they have earned it for a reason. You can search for many good local references here with great reviews. Don't let this experience measure your next contractor. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

I really liked the indirect lighting and the bar light fixture.

Hello there, If you don't want to put load on your foundation, why don't you put a pergola of cement/steel/wood instead of a concrete roof slab? You could do a bit of landscaping too and could fully utilise the terrace. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Thanks for both of your responses CUBSpaces team and Shweta from Shades studio. It really gives a clarity about possible consequences. I am now doubt free about changing whole things in Bathroom as it will be interconnected. However will appreciate your opinion on few things: 1. Kitchen wall tiles: I have those from countertop height to roof(almost area of 6X15 feet) which are good and not hollow. I changed countertop 5 years back without any damage to these tiles. It might cost me another 10-15 K, but I feel the whole process and quantity of wasting old good tiles makes me little sad. 2. kitchen countertop: Made new around 5 years back. I don't expect to get it all intact. But large pieces can be cut and can be used as top for other freestanding structures like dishwasher, front load washer, heighten base cabinets, etc. 3. Plywood: I don't mind giving enough labour charges for old sheets recycle. I am planning to use doors, loose sheets(like kept on bed frame of settee frame.) or parts of big frames like settee. I am keen on reducing waste than to save money. You can see various DIY ideas by western people, who remove or sand laminates and re-paint furniture, or carefully remove hollow tiles and re-attach them. Some are also re-painting ceramic tiles. I am just asking myself: Are we creating more and more waste by use and throw approach every 10-15 years, just because we can afford it?
