mrspiglet, do u have a better picture of your nice nice rainshower (the pipping and stuff, conceal inside wall ar??) You using Instant Heater? I'm trying to get one but my contractor say cannot use instant heater must use tank type and will have alot of pipes running here and there. Thank you thank you

Yes it's possible to plaster over glossy wall tiles. As for the drilling, from what I know if your original wall tiles are not overlayed with another layer of wall tiles it will be as hardy as a normal wall. Peeling nvr happen at my old place ley. Correct me if im wrong.

Just a guide for you. Have a look and compare. You can PM me if you want to try him.

Just saw on news today, contractors are going outta jobs but why are we still paying such high prices. My contractor fly kite me like 2x in a row and tells me today "Eh...sorry i can't make it today again. Why not I don't do your business?" WT*??!!! I say if you can wait lets starve them awhile and let them come to their sense to finally lower the price. Like they say, now is the time to rob as many as u can who knows what happen. If the news is true, head down punggol n see if any contractors are touting there... hee hee

We dun really wash cloths (Bring to dry cleaners or my sis place for maid to wash) Just two but I get only the small util rm and she gets the other bed room for her bags ,shoes, cloths and make up... haiz ...poor me...kekeke... you know why "because I love her" (cheezy line from the "XXX brand" liang teh ad...

utility room quite small but i may use it for my study room. Nope, just me and wife ) Wow, maybe can you gimmi his contact? Thank you

Actually from the start I already wanted to use subcon, I sure dun mind project manage myself and have more freedom to do stuff i like, but money was the problem...i needed loan but call the banks they are not willing to talk over phone insist on me going down to talk to them, so planning to go next week. I dun need the 3D drawings, since I already have idea what i want. Care to share how u find all the sub cons?

Thank you all ) Before reading RT, budget : $12k After reading RT, had some idea budget: +/- $15k - $20k Saw my 1st quote, almost faint Told him i did my research here and he says, "aiya, all these ppl there are contractors lah" pengz

Aiya, like very small ley...sorry... Well, any bros or sis here can gimmi any ID/Contractor recommendation? PM me? hee

Bingo! Already happen liao. Haiz, he is revising the quote after a nasty conversation with him but *tsk tsk tsk* I doubt will be any better. He keeps saying now material e.g. sands and stuff are expensive. I will do away with plenty of stuff in his quote and compare with some other company with the stuff I wanna do. Oh when I mention abt different contractor, I mean I will be looking for it. This is only my first quote.

Tell me abt it. This is a "friend"price some more... I really dunno what to say. Btw, I just got my keys TODAY!!!! YEah!! I'm trying to upload my floorplan now...wait huh....
