tiler called to say he's not coming due to heavy rain at in the afternoon?! all aircon related works were halted till we resolved trunking issue. and these partition board which were left here over the weekend... workers are coming in either Tuesday or Wednesday.
due to the trunking dispute, aircon guys stopped all work till we finalised the issue with ID. so, we met up on site to discuss the trunking again...
the trunking for this room is done this way because this will ensure all connection are done within ease of reach for workers and their tools. if we insist on not doing the trunking, the connection will end up across the hall wall, not in the corner behind the doors because it's a right angle, the tools might not be able to reach. and since we are doing a box up in the hall way, it will not be practical because future maintenance will be very costly and almost not possible without damaging the box up. solutions given were either remove trunking from room and dont do box up in the hall way or do a back-to-back installation with the room next door.
this is the hall way between the MBR and JJ's room. will do a box-up along this stretch so it's not advisable for any trunking to be conceal within. otherwise we will have to cut open the box for any aircon maintenance.it's a really headache because there's 'beauty' route cant co-exist with 'practical' route. so the conclusion, we have to bear with this unsightly trunking, leave it as it is.
the trunking for MBR ends 3/4 into the room. to beautify the place, instead of doing a 'half' box up, the partition will be extended towards the door frame. the unit will be just above the door.the only rooms with little or no trunking seen are Jas's room and the study due to smooth connection and false wall.
the aircon guys did this trunking in the 1st place because it balance up with the room next door. it also helps to hid any gap between the unit and the wall. but we decided it's not very nice and not necessary, so we decided to remove the trunking. even if it cant be removed completely, a short portion of the trunking will be hidden behind the door.one day wasted, no work except talk... anyway now that the trunking issue is settled, hopefully work can resume asap so we can move in for X'mas.
I like the way it is being installed. What my concern is the tubes from the window, is there anyway that it will be invisible because it looks very bulky on that image. Thanks in advance.

Hi christina, usually the designer and contractor will suggest you to do a box-up to conceal those tubes when possible. you can see it in my post of day 26 reno.
Deletein some cases, a box-up cannot be done, such such in the bathroom or due to the turning of those black tubes, like those in my 2 other bedrooms.
as for those at the window, those black tubes will be nicely bundle up once the aircon compressor is up.
