I like the pink one.

Looks quite well-maintained!! And the colors used shows that they are very concerned about space. Can't wait to see your renovation process!
-
Aiyoh.. like that very painful leh. And expensive also! Hahahaha... but it's true. We learn from experience and mistakes especially in order to grow! So imagine leh, now I engage Henry, everything I also copy down. Everything I also black and white, send him emails and stuff. Really will scare one loh. Luckily he didn't give me any major problems, only little bits here and there. Hehehe~ Tell you lah... no matter how kind and friendly people may seem, everyone of us have a dark side one you know. Just more or less only. The contractor just burst our line towards the dark, that's why we so angry. We actually is the very kind one you know. And I already gave him the timeline to rectify the problems so he better faster do it if not I really wanna !! I'll update some of the goods and "out-of-goodwill" things he had done for us also!! He's not 100% bad, maybe 95% bad and 5% good but is depend on mood one!!

They could be charging you more because if your whole house did plastering, they will need to go through a coat of sealer before any colors can go up. Sealer for a 3-room flat is $400... not cheaper leh even if I go direct. Could be alot of factors why they quoted you so much. But just imagine, 1 can of paint already close to $60. Whole 5room flat maybe need 10 cans or more, already how much liao...

It's about time he took down the wrought irons and re-touch!! Better be good this time! By the way, I just sent him an email. *********************************** By way of email and telephone conversation on December 17, the above has acknowledge that the FINAL payment will only be made within 14 days of handover, subject to owners’ satisfactions. The above will also acknowledge the following rectifications are to be completed by Friday, December 19 before 6pm at NO EXTRA CHARGES TO THE OWNERS. This whole drama has gone long enough. br_rooms1.jpg, br_rooms2.jpg, br_rooms3.jpg, br_rooms4.jpg - To re-touch up due to shabby work done cbr_slantedpipes1.jpg, cbr_slantedpipes2.jpg - To re-align the pipes and replace the plastic holder at the bottom (circled for easy reference) main_door1.jpg, main_door2.jpg, main_door3.jpg - To replace or touch-up crack at main door due to negliance in the installation of the frame wrought1 to wrought10.jpg - The above will acknowledge he removed the wrought irons for the living and common rooms and for the main gate for re-sanding and re-spraying. Any bleeding or peeling after re-sanding and re-spraying will be under the liability of the renovator contractor wrought11.jpg to wrought14.jpg - To realign the wrought iron and align it in accordance to the plastic pipe below, the attached IS NOT acceptable In any case of discrepancies, the above renovator contractor is to contact Mrs Ng (Amy) at XXX. However I believe clarifications regarding the outstanding and low-quality works had been converyed very clearly times and again. Your immediate attention to this matter is required. Regards, Amy PS: I would also urge to stop the grumblings whenever defects are detected as YOU ARE PAID AS A COMMERICAL CONTRACTOR and we have not shortchange you for the works completed. I think we have been kind and patient enough. DO NOT TEST OUR PATIENCE. As much as you want us out of your life, the feeling is mutual. If there is no interest to continue the works/rectify the defects, please notify the owners within 24 hours from this email so that we can engage someone else to complete the works on your behalf. Note that upon termination of services, owners will NOT BE REQUIRED to make any final payment to the renovator contractor and its associates.

Hahaha! That's indeed very very very comforting!!!
-
Yep, he left us a can of spray and told us to spray over it if it starts bleeding/peeling loh. So I assume it's spray paint rather than coming raw. I tell you hor... I confirm our contractor is say say only lah. Always ask us to rest assured his quality and workmanship, he's not a cheater and not dishonest lah... blah blah blah. Maybe at first will believe lah, after that I think he just wanna bluff his way through loh. Sibei sibei no standard he, as a contractor, as a person and as a FATHER. Bloody **** man. I stay there I also will worried if the things will drop anot and break apart anot loh. So every now and then, I already tell my hubby must check liao. But pay him liao, don't expect him to really come back and rectify so promptly loh. He really think I believe his cock and bull story meh? Siao... I already broke liao lo, where got money to engage lawyer services. Maybe go CASE bah, see what they say. But first thing first, I want to call him tomorrow and ask him to finish all the works before I will pay him. Crazy ah pek!!!!!!! BINGO!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha! You very cute leh... Yeah, maybe will go CASE and see how they can assist me first. I got evil thoughts now. Hahahahaha......
-
Yeah, told her already. But she just ask us forget it cause she also know we in dire needs to move-in loh. So keep asking us to let it go. Can I really go to CASE? I worried they won't entertain me leh. I really want to . Maybe I should just try my luck right? I got pictures but no black and white leh.......
-
I think I will write to the son soon. If nothing's been done, and not done to my satisfaction, I WILL GRANT ALL YOUR WISHES AND POST THE COMPANY ONLINE. Really cannot take it liao, want to burst liao!!!!!!! Still want us to pay him when the works are not done, say he registered company won't run away. Ask him don't bull with me okay.
-
We know him too well. He'll probably say... That time inspect liao, okay what. What is your problem now? Is it cuz you don't know how to close or your other contractor (Henry) broke it one? Please loh!! Close door need to learn one meh?? And how hard you bang, if will crack something is wrong right? Somemore is ALL the way one, wah lau! He stupid no use brain again. Even if rectify, he won't take down and replace new frames one. He will just say he will patch for us. Bloody ****. Is it common for 25yo and more flats to have such problems? Cuz even after plastering, our kitchen also crack all the way down...... My defects list is even longer than the works he do for us loh!! I know I said this many many many times but.......... MY CONTRACTOR IS VERY THE SUB-STANDARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slanted Wrought Iron in Living Bad Case of Poor Main Door Frame Installation Ya loh, I really suspect he use 2nd hand one!!! But what can I do? I can't go CASE what cuz no black and white. And they will deny me cuz how they tell right? My contractor is very good "TCS Director" okay! And scriptwriter loh! Everything we say, he sure got something to counter back one. Else he will deny everything loh (that's what he always do one!). Now you guys only see me write, already here and curse and swear. Imagine us lah, have to deal with his nonsense. Priceless hor. Now you know why his plumber can come down so many times loh. Now I worry my WC and bathtub especially! I scare downstairs will leak loh!!! I really feel like sending an email to his son and tell him to get his father to get off our backs. Want to give warranty or not, up to him. But if he can leave with it, then good for him. I believe people like him sure will kena bad karma someday one. Just wait and see loh. I am almost certain my house will give me lots of problems after the first year loh. Sighs, heartpain man. Spend so much money, yet get SUB-STANDARD WORKS. I think is because he didn't change cuz NOT in the contract/quote. If we ask him change, he sure ask us top up money one. MORON.

Defects on Door Nobs Slanted Pipes in Common Bathroom Never Use Brain Bad Case of Plastering

I also leh, but don't know why we can still "ren". Maybe because time constraint bah, if not I sure play with him till the end one. I scold bad words until don't know how many times liao. See my entries you will know. Luckily is my hubby communicate with him one. If not I let him jialiat jialiat. Hahahaha... Ya loh! Told ya! I already mad don't know how many times liao. And sometimes when Hubby needs to communicate with him, he gets so frustrated, he will raise his voice or become very impatient. Then I think back, really not my fault what. Because of stupid contractor, I (we) got to put up all these ****..... You know hor, today he came to inspect the wrought iron. Before he took down to re-sand and re-spray, Hubby said he was nagging and grumbling. I feel like shooting him an email and ask him to shut the **** up loh. Want to do, just keep quiet and do. Nag and nag, we not his children loh. I don't have to put up these ****. Nag liao then rectify I sibei not happy loh. I really feel like calling him and give him a piece of my mind!!!!!!!!

Condition of Bad Painting by Contractor Condition of Bad Cleaning of Common Bathroom More Defects of Bad Door Painting

DoubleJ & pinkpetter - Wah, like that sibei drama leh. Hehehehe~ let him no business there also good!! Curse him man. But I read some comments here about his son's ID company, like not bad one. So... also don't know how. Make life difficult for him, means make life difficult for his son. Hmm... If I go CASE also no use right, in this case? Nothing in black and white? 77suns - Okay, I will go back today and show you how it looks like. According to Henry, the glass should be up today, so should be able to decide if we want to extend anot loh. He won't anyhow let us cut his fees one. He keep saying he already very cheap, go out cannot find this price, etc etc. Listen liao also angry lah. He really CMI lah. Angel81 - Thank you! My hubby alot of crazy and funny ideas one lah. He also got one design for our TV console and coffee table. Very nice but will be expensive to do cuz alot of curves. I am still waiting for Henry's quote.

Condition of Wrought Iron Common Bedroom (Entertainment Room) Living Windows NIGHTMARE 12 (I think! Lost count liao. Haha~): This was what sparked us to change the lock, and deny entry to him and his incompetent workers! House was “officially” handed over as he has “claimed” he finished all the works as stipulated in the contract/quotation. That’s just bull loh. Issue 1: We didn’t fricking choose this design! On the day of handover (including calculating the final payment), we were shocked to see this design sitting on our windows! Both of us have clearly remembered we chose the musical notes one but contractor’s claim was this was what we selected, how else would he have obtained this code! So we demand he go back check and let us know if it can be changed. The next day he called Hubby and screamed at him – ”WHERE GOT THIS DESIGN! YOU WANT TO PLAY PUNK IS IT? THE DESIGN IS YOU DREAM ONE, OR SAW AT OTHER CONTRACTORS’ OFFICE ONE IS IT? THEN COME AND TELL ME TO INSTALL SOMETHING I DON’T EVEN HAVE!!” Wah, pissed off liao loh. We told him we’ll go down to his office and talk. When we reached, he gave us HIS SO-CALL ALL available suppliers’ catalogue but I don’t see the catalogue we choose the design from so we question him lah. But his response was this is all he had. Then we notice the original quotation he was holding onto had erasers’ marks loh!! Wah, piss anot you tell me lah! Then we tell him never mind, he will hear from our lawyers soon enough. Hahaha… Issue 2: We were having problems with the wrought iron as you can tell from those pictures. Bleeding, peeling and can see bubbles foaming on the wrought irons. I went to do a check online and came up with the following conclusion, 1) He didn’t sand properly (which can be one of the factor cuz he is super SUB-STANDARD), 2) He didn’t spray properly or use the wrong kind of spray paint, 3) He used 2nd hand one!! which leads us to Issue 1! Our best guess is that he uninstalled that design at one of his customers’ place and in order to save cost, he installed it on our house! Wah, also win liao loh. Hubby meeting him today, see if can remove the wrought iron anot and I’ll get Henry to do it. He don’t want to earn (or want to earn more by using 2nd hand), I let him earn nothing at all. HE ****ING SO GOT THE CHEEK TO SAY – LAST PAYMENT HAVEN’T MAKE, COME AND FIND TROUBLE AND PROBLEM FOR ME. I KNOW ONE. YOU WANT I COME DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK LOH. Bloody **** still keep chasing us for last payment. Do until like that still want me to pay, he is siao or what! [LATEST UPDATES AS AT 1.15PM – Smelly contractor demanded payment from Hubby and say it has been long enough. Hubby told him to rectify problems before he will pay. Know what he said – ”I GOT SHOP AT BEAUTY WORLD ONE, I WON’T RUN AWAY. I AM UNLIKE THOSE CHINA WORKERS, NO SHOP. 1 – 2 YEARS IF YOU GOT PROBLEMS, I WILL STILL HELP YOU ONE.” Seriously loh, after so much had happened, still want me to believe him ah. I really feel like slapping him in the face loh. And when calculating the last payment, he added one sentence which pisses the **** out of me! "Wah.. so little only meh? Sure anot? I think have more leh, but I just don’t know where. I got write down, but I don’t know what I didn’t. Must have one, if not why I write down." I ask him go inspect the whole house, say we will never shortchange him one, even though he’s been very smelly and dishonest! Then in the end, still cannot find. **** lah he. Hubby seeing him today. So hope can settle everything and don't see/hear from him anymore!!!!! And have nothing to do with him. I HATE HIM LAH.

Condition of Wrought Iron Gate (Before Move-In)
-
Yep! It's the BT you are talking about. Why leh?
-
It's this model, not the more expensive one. http://www.panasonic.com.sg/web/Pid/5675 Less than $1k but can't remember the exact price. I know it's very cheap for an inverter!
-
Maybe cause met a bad contractor, and when someone good comes along, you just feel great loh. It's like God made that stupid contractor in order to make us appreciate Henry. Or something along that line lah. I also don't know leh cuz Henry said it's very common. But he said if I want same length, can also be done but told him I want to see the glass up first then decide. And yes, it's following the bottom cabinets length, Hubby decide one. Smart *** lah he. Hahahaha..... I will see how tomorrow loh, before deciding if I want same length or not. Actually it's very painful lah, and also very frustrating. But thinking back, also very funny how he can directed the whole thing loh. Now that it is nearing handover (he's coming again to rectify the wrought irons and doors tomorrow), I'm actually feeling happier I don't have to see his face and hear his voice anymore!! Hopefully nothing will go wrong again! Don't worry! You'll be fine! Read the posts here at Renotalk, all are very informative. Before you make any purchase, decide anything, sign on any dotted line, check here first!!!!! Hehehe... This place is my best bet now liao. Before I do anything now, I will come here and check check first before deciding.

They dreaming maybe? Hoping we won't notice? Hahaha... I don't know. But you know hor, the plumber came down at least 5 times to rectify our problems loh. CAN YOU IMAGINE!
-
Shoe Cabinet (Hubby's Design) Solid Top Installed By the way, is it common for the top and bottom kitchen cabinets to differ 2-3cm in length? Cuz we have asked for even-length but when Henry's guy came over to measure the tilted glass in-between, we then realize wor. Anyone please?
