It is a delay of six years. The shop lot that I bought is still not ready despite many promises to get it delivered soon. Last December, I was told that I could get it by February 2011. Well, February came and went.
The shop lot looks almost the same except for the roller shutter which is rolled down and the place is used by the contractor to keep his things. The other day I saw a forklift carrying bricks to the front and was getting them ready to be put in. There seemed to be much activity on this side but nothing to do with the completion of the shop directly.
Months before they had used it to house the contract workers. Wooden compartments , each with its own door, were built inside the shop, about six of them. I saw an Indonesian worker going into one of them. A lady used the sink counter to put a gas stove where she cooked her meals.
The six years of just serving the bank the loan interest has robbed me of my freedom. Instead of collecting rental to cover the instalments or instead of starting a business in my own shop, now I am doing something far from what I had planned. While I am faithfully doing my part and patiently waiting with no aggressive action, it seemed that the contractors are shortchanging me. Shouldn't they, at least, write and ask for permission to use the premise for whatever purpose they want? The contract workers used the shop next door to rear chickens!
