:good: Agree completely. hahah *SOLD* I understand what you mean when you talk about people who would take advantage of you and your mom. But I guess Ah Soon is really not that kind of person. When I told him about how we buy the house for my parents he also seemed very "touched" So He really is an Uncle who will help where he can.

Re-do Tiles For Whole Unit
pinkpetter replied to freddyprince's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
hi snopz.. what I meant was... laying of tiles + tiles themselves about 6k. $3/psf for tiles. I guess for a 4 room this would be an acceptable price. -
Sigh. That's so true. It's not really free. But well at least you don't have to deal with the hassle of doing it yourself. My heart just aches to see those kitchen cabinets go. I'm so stingy... Box to let kids sit to bathe?! .... it looks like it's made of those box-up material thing... can it stand the water? *amazed* It's quite dangerous to have one of those in the shower area isn't it? mm
-
mm ya That time one of the IDs here (Pierre) I think.. explained that in another thread. heh. MmM small piece should be ok I guess. No harm asking.

Hi Adrian! Actually I'm a little sad you guys didn't get to meet but quite happy that you're not too upset with that. I think it's a tough balance.. we often don't want someone too busy and don't want someone who is very free to take our calls all the time too. What a headache. Anyway I DO HOPE he calls! mmm Unless your family is very big or you accumulate laundry I reckon that space should be sufficient for you to hang. But it's quite visible from the foyer area... ever thought of having it covered a little more?

EH? why???

Is 10k Enough To Renovate Kitchen & Two Toilets?
pinkpetter replied to goodman123's topic in RENOVATION WORKS
mm I suggest to cut cost you might want to spray paint your toilet tiles if they are still intact. I think you'll be safely within budget if you... Hack kitchen cabinets and floor tiles. Remove toilet accessories Re-run piping Spray paint toilet floor and wall tiles Install new toilet bowl + sink + heater Cement and plaster kitchen wall Relay kitchen floor tiles + waterproofing Kitchen cabinets Kitchen worktop. If you want to hack and relay toilet wall and floor tiles it'll cost another 4k. -
mrspiglet Good idea since you wouldn't be in those rooms often anyway. Washing curtains is troublesome, washing for rooms that you rarely use would make anyone feel worse. haha hardworking ah? Lazy is my middle name. I shall explore this option in ... June.
-
mrspiglet oohh iREX.. mm heard from a friend before. I guess it's an ok brand. hehe But I wonder if mine's the same as yours. I shall check it out when i get home. heheh
-
yes yes white cabinets with blue glass backing sounds very good!! WIll be even better with lights
-
That's really terrible and I hope she rectifies for you. 3 inches is a lot of difference!!
-
Ya there's no way to clean the oil stains under the glass... I think lawry used Google sketchup. I found it difficult so in the end I drew. haha
-
Must be a little more thick-skinned ok? I will tell them myself usually. You can do it!!
-
hello.. He will give you advice here and there... He and Jason will. BUT they will not interfere with your decision. Maybe they will give their advice once or twice but if you insist, they will do accordingly. But if there is a practical reason for what they suggest, they'll be more "persistant" They will give you the laminate and paint samples to bring home and see slowly... so you have time to decide.
-
for a 75sqm...the storeroom is quite big... hehe
-
yes yes please rem their photo! mmm I don't really like blue either but if that's what your FSM says... no choice ba...
-
I think Uncle very good la. When he sees that it's only Aubrey and mother, he feels more inclined to do nice things for them.. as long as he doesn't make a loss ba. Aubrey must be very excited. Technically Aubrey you're also a xiaomei. haha So funny, now everyone refers to me as xiaomei. hahahaha *faints* mm his is a cheaper brand... I can't rem the name. but really don't care about brands. haha
-
CONGRATULATIONS... rem to update us with photos!
-
Backing on the wall or backsplash? backsplash is that little thing that turns up from the counter... that one should be automatically provided if you did your worktop. Backing on the wall I asked for it before the final quote but it didn't appear in the quote, and they gave it to me for free. Mine was large cos I didn't have any top cabinets.
-
stainless steel backing comes in matt and shiny. Mine is matt. My parents didn't want things too glaring. I have this backing because my walls are cemented and not tiled. So in reality you can choose not to have a backing at all. So.. cement, tiled, mosaic, glass, matt stainless steel, shiny stainless steel. What you want as a backing you have to negotiate with Ah Soon. He suggests S/S though as he said that oil can seep inbetween the glass and wall and you will be able to see the oil spots through the glass. as for the granite backsplash I'm not sure. Can't rem if my old granite counter (in previous previous house) had it.
-
ah? suppose to paint... Is it under Ah Soon? Ah Soon's painting quote includes every single thing in the house to be painted. Whatever you want must be painted.
-
I actually think it looks ok. Just that if you want it according to what is in the picture.. I reckon you have to turn the whole door around. mm Personal preference ba.
-
you changed your window completely is it? That one need to charge.. cos changing it requires a permit too. We only changed toilet window glass... but the frame didn't change. The glass is free la cos that is cheap - $5/panel. I saw at some Wu Jin Shop. omg. That's what happened after my parents met him too.
-
EHHHH looks more like the door is on the wrong side... mm
-
mm *not trying to be biased* But I guess that's really between them, though I'm more incline to believe Ah Soon. lalalal my parents say so too. but I guess with all the injuries.. it'll be hard not to.
