Renovation started on 10 October and by 1 December two third of the project had been completed. On 2 December Swan Cafe was informed by Shop Improvement Co. that one of the special machine needed for the renovation work had broken down, they already checked with the machine supplier but no spare part was available and it would take at least 2 months to get the spare part from the UK manufacturer. Shop Improvement Co. said that they would not be able to finish the renovation by 20 December as agreed.
