  1. Pet's suggestion is good. my carpentry is only starting today. But I made my changes yesterday already Hope your will turn out just as good
  2. he mentioned to me when i was selecting tiles, SL ask him to support. When i feedback about the gal assigned to help us is unable to value-add by helping to suggest and give positive inputs, and kept telling me some tiles I had selected were above the $3 budget etc...that sort of put us off by going back to LSH instead.
  3. Thanks blue I felt more at ease with Uncle's asurance. Somehow Jason's assuarnce still leaves me in doubts sometimes...this is Uncle's charisma.
  4. Pet, I am rushing advertorial datelines, so gotta work from home...sigh.
  5. Wendy, I spend a little more on washable crayons/water paints/ markers etc. So far no issue and easy to clean off, maybe you want to try? I also mentioned about your unit and Uncle says the issue more or less resolved, he will call you and ask if there is anything more to rectify
  6. Thanks Wendy and Blue. I am feeling weak and wonky from the meds...but I am fine. Yah...uncle understand that internet biz is vital, he is trying to make changes. He is thinking of stopping th factory work so that he can put in more time to manage the workers and projects. He also mentioned that he had spoken to Alan regarding his quotes, I am sure his prices are still good and he hopes to help people like us with budget, but hoping to buildour dream house fulfill our dreams. He is kind by nature...just that many things were beyond his control as he has too many things to manage.
  7. The paint delivered Do you find this piping looking quite odd? My concern about scratched and dirty floor was not unfounded. MBR parquet to be retained One of the common rooms My white flooring in the hall I spoke to uncle about my concerns regarding: the uneven skirting: he says he will try to rectify and cover up to minimise about dirtying the flooring and scratching the parquet: he assured me that they will lay the paper once the flooring are done. but I am not doing anything to my 2nd floor(?) he says will get them todo it on friday after the first round of cleaning upon completion of flooring. about painting: I noticed some stains on the new windows and asked if they can try and be mre mindful. He says he will get the guys to clean up. about the progress: the pebble wash was no where seen, some groutings not completed, the covered up of my parquet flooring for the affect area due to hacking and relocating of the door is also undone. Uncle actually called the tiler (Ah Kiat) even before I asked him! the false ceilings supposed to be up by today, no sign no picture. uncle also arranged for them to work on today and tomorrow so that by friday, he can get the tiling group to finish whatever they are supposed to for my unit. Finally, the HO date is rather uncertain. Jason says HO can be done on the date that I wanted, 8 June seems rather tight as carpentry guy, Ah Wei wanted me to give him a few more days. He tried not to delay me as he understands the date to 安神 is important. and if I miss this date, I need to wait for another month. I can't afford to delay as my girl needs to start at the new school pretty soon. Having kids around, I also do not want them to stay at a house with ongoing rectification works as the dust can be unbearable, as i have a little crawler. The carpentry guy, Ah Wei is really quite pro. Some of my requests were not too practical, and he actually told me directly and gave me ideas on how I can improve on it. I am really glad There are some changes to my initial designs done with Jason, he will sketch and email me once everything is ready. I shall wait for his email... He started fabricating my wardrobes and TV feature wall already. I am meeting the wall paper guy from Goodrich this sunday. Hopefully things will be soon soon for me. I trust Uncle to arrange for the smooth HO. He does look really tired yesterday. Pity him having to run here and there...but I can't help but also impose some datelines as I really can't aford too long a delay for the works.
  8. The progress is rather slow when I went up yesterday. False ceiling were supposed to be up, but I only saw ONE electrician working yesterday. I met uncle up there, though he was late and I was running a temperature, I amstill glad he turned up and addressed some of my concerns and progress. Let me share the pictures before I continue with our discussions. The water pipes are up. The storage heater The mixer tap for the kids' bathroom Chute cover installed All ready for the false ceiling
  9. Ivy, this is so funny! I can imagine uncle in the dialogue! FOr the PD door, i have decided to change it to glass door to save me from any possible problems.
  10. Hihi, I did managed to meet him yesterday. Though he was an hour late, I am glad he turned up. He told me he has yet to photocopy for me. Hopefully our next meeting he can pass me the copy. Thanks much, Blue!
  11. U can email me to juke_box_21@hotmail.com Usually he get his son to email, but uncle will forget. So we need to call him and remind him. I ask him for u if he never fly me aeroplane today. For tiles, I can't remember who, but try avoid choosing those that are too rough with some groove on the tiles as it traps the soap and shampoo making the tiles look white after a while. Tampines near my place leh....so the one he brought you to see tiling is at Pasir Ris? He has several units in the east too. Cos mine only tilings done.
  12. my BH was an "intensive" one that lasts a good 5 mins and I broke out in cold sweat! hehe...We thought I was in labour, but 5 mins later, I can go back to sleep liao. It happened at about 2am and Hubby still wana sleep and let me suffer the pain alone After i kicked him hard then he woke up! that's how helpful my man is.
  13. Thanks for the inputs guys! Will anyone be meeting Uncle today at around 2pm - 3pm or any time before that? I am trying to meet him up to discuss something and took half day leave to meet him so that I do not clash with people who wants to meet uncle after work.
  14. No worries on the drawing Gaku I will meet the carpentry guy and will get it all sorted. ust need advice on the dimensions that Hubby worked out together with Jason. It is good to tell them where the points will be. For me, I told him exactly where and how high or low the sockets will be and where to have additional telephone cable point and scv points.
  15. remind uncle about the lights! Mine was the same...on day and night and thru the night(s) as I do not go and check so frequently. Uncle is implementing fine systems for the guys...but knowing uncle has no time, I do not think they really bother.
  16. Gaku, thanks for your drawing I will post my dimensions in my blog later on As for power points, I was the one telling the elect guy what I want. They will advise if it is ok or not. Do you know who will be the guy doing for you? Mine is Ah Tan, Jason says he is better? anyone used him before? I needed a few 2 way points and also told the guy where and how I want it to be. If Jason did a walk thru with you, he will write down on the spots that you wanted the switch and how many socket points.I requested for more actually. Cos I know I will add on some items down the road.
  17. Yes indeed, office hours will get more replies 666, need my help to translate? I am trying to meet uncle today at noon, I can help you translate if you do not mind
  18. i just called uncle and he told me abouit PD door issue. it is the trck and some complained it is filmsy. So i quickly told him i wana change to frosed glass door instead. Do not want bifold as Hubby dislike. also problems with track after pro-longed usage. So we changed it to glass door instead.
  19. i am doing PD door for my common toilet in the kitchen. if got prob, then i will stick bi-fold door. need to call jason soon in case he ordered.
  20. blue, if i didn't get to meet uncle can help me ask for my quote? I am 101 pasir ris de...thanks much!

  23. not sure leh...never met him b4. only knows that he was the carpentry guy for fondue. so have to ask fondue if he is good.
  24. agree that epensive stuff should be shown leh... Ah Wei, the carpentry guy called me and meeting me tomorrow. he says Jason's instructions a bit unclear so better to double check with me i am glad he called so that I can meet him up to have a clearer picture of the dimensions Will update the progress tmr!
