The second one is a local (I think) and his sidekick is a China citizen. I don't think nationality plays a part in workmanship. I think the workmanship is more dependent on experience and good supervision. I guess I am the stupid guinea pig for them. Chng<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> Then u r wrong....China carpenters I seem so far have working attitude problem man...they don't care if the tools going to damage your flooring, they don't care whether it will scratch your laminate, door, etc.....I can't said all is like that, but for those I have seen so far is like that. I've seen very hardworking china worker before...but out of 100...only 1. Nationality don't play a part cos, even local, some may not have the workmanship too. Mostly is the attitude towards their jobs.

U can go ahead with the false ceiling. I'll be there this sat to see how your air-con guys lay the truckings.

Asked the electrician to dismantle the point before saw your posting. This loose wiring is for your SCV, powerpoints for your living area, will drill the hole when know the height of your TV console. Swopping the position of the air-con isolator and the powerpoint. A mistake they made. Sorry bout that.

U was referring to this for the bathroom casing right? The light switch and one of the switch control the exhast fan and the lighting for the WC area. Or this?

Realise daytime can see better for the width of the beams and other stuffs... Your living room tracklight and ceiling fan. The light switch and the dining light. Kitchen lighting and the point for oven (below the gas pipe), the loose wire is for the hood, oven and double powerpoint. Service yard light point and powerpoint for dryer and washing machine.

Carpenter at work... Better don't disturb them....

Hahaha....Its won't be long when I start posting the design layouts for u to choose.

1) Didn't get a chance to see this while was at your site this morning 9am. But anyway, already told the electrician to dismantle the casing of the master bedroom powerpoint. As for the 2nd qns, I post the pic first to see which casing u r referring to.

U look quite busy...got so many things to plan for, so I help out a bit to lessen your burden. So u can concentrate more on other planning such as wedding. Hope u don't mind. If u want me to post on whatever info. that u have passed to me also can.

The practise for my carpenters is they don't tear away the plastic cover so as to proof that the laminate is new.

Material for the cabinet. Plywood Drawers....plywood Still plywood....internal carcase is coloured PVC rather than white pvc. Plywood Alum. frame with sandblasted glass

Day 36....painting continue at the 3 bedrooms.....carpentry work started at the kitchen Delivery of material. This should be what everyone is waiting for. Bro Fencer, tis is what I've mention on the thin plastic sheet cover for the laminate.

Ya hor.....wait he think I siao...

Its really depend, cos sealant mostly apply to raw ceiling or wall (including L-box/false ceiling, plastering walls...etc). Is depend for the ID/contractor as they can or not included into the cost for painting of the whole hse as those painted walls don't really need to apply sealant cos they already have it in the 1st time wen doing painting. If the condition of the house is so jialat that paint is peeling off, then need to scrape off and apply sealant. Mostly coated is 2 coat of painting not included sealent and base coat is needed if the previous wall colour is dark colour. Moldguard is consider new technology of paint with mold control. Normally ceiling is painted with Nippon Matex white, but I prefer to use mouldguard, of course is more ex.

After FSM audit....I was like OMG...need to change most of the design... So now have to work double hard to come out the design and also the quotation....

Initial planning on what to do....but that is before FSM audit...

The floorplan....more like an EA rather than a 5 room

"Found something strange, in the neighbourhood, who do u call?".... While waiting for the 1st coat of painting to dry...there this little black oily, greasy stain coming out from the wall below the window at the living room area.

Sanding the wall before apply the paint. Kitchen wall.......shadow grey... And don't mistaken that only this uncle doing whole hse paint cos he is not superman...there are another 2 painters but happen that whenever I want to take pic, uncle is there..

Study room.......cosy orange 1st coat Uncle painter at work Bedroom 3........Sunshine yellow 1st coat

Day 35 - Painting Today painters came early in the morning and start to do protection for the hse. All new paint Mouldguard for kitchen and 2 bathrooms Sealant 1st coating And there u go................paint paint paint...and I can't take the smell...so run run run to the coffeeshop

Yes, it is rewiring.

Saw that u got this type of old main door. This what I had did for one of the hse owner main door. A little DIY.
