  1. hi howeas, repllied ur pm....
  2. yes, not sure u been quoted how much, got people quote me $2000 for this 2 pieces of glass... uncle in fact quoted me his base price (cus he say this one he don't want to earn $$, jus pay direct to the glass installer), so price is much lesser than $2000
  3. thanks! fini, hows ur progress on ur side..
  4. not really lei.. cus i still have quite alot of things not done yet: 1) room doors 2) toilet shower screen 3) 10% tiling work not yet complete 4) carpentry 5) plattform 6) windows & window grilles 7) installation of lights so keep my fingers crossed.. i hope by this mth can all finish...
  5. if u shower screen is so high, will u be suffocated inside while bathing? haha... unless u got windows in the shower screen ?
  6. when is ur reno intend to start? i ask uncle if he got time to take ur case? i think better this way...
  7. totally agree... me have the same experience...! better to go with people with more experience and more repsonsible and more knowledgable!
  8. tou i am not engaging tau interior, i must say he did my brother in law flat well and within a very tight dateline.. defects that is reported also very promptly rectified...! really thumbs up to Uncle winson! he is full of knowledge, find him do ur house, no regrets!
  9. ok i c.... but make sure u ask what kind of material n paint they use .. cos if u spend almost 3k to buy n it get rusty or wat in 1-2yrs time, it is not worth it liao ....(my thinking)
  10. hi blue ops i m sorry if i give u the impression i m saying u r ah soon competitor.. i was actually refer to earlier post.. definitely not referring to u tou... well, why is it that ID get flamed like mad? the reason is simple: that's because they charge expensive. ah soon is not flawless, in fact, we all have a fair share of aeroplanes... we do complain, but end of the day, when things completed, we walk away with $10K savings... it all depends on how much you value this $10K ....n ur willingness to accept uncle flaws... somemore, uncle is one man show...accounting, quotation, everything done by himself.. if he engage more people, it will means he have to quote higher.. what trevorcantona had said: take discount n be prepared for uncle flaws . dun take discount, may also met with flaws or uncertainity... whatever it is, i hope you find the right person for your renovation! hi fini, uncle happened to call me so i told him about ur door being left unlocked.. he was very angry but he say he will make it to u...hahah.. duno how true... but hope everything is smooth now on ur side..
  11. yes, but mine is like, the acidic water will go into a pail. use that for washing face n etc...mine also got a voice.. haha.. so interesting,.. can select the PH level also,.. is urs the same? how much u bought urs?
  12. i asked my friend hor, he said if they can sell u at $2800 u must ask if it is the real piece from MOOOI... cus if this is a copy piece, material n etc may differ... if real piece from MOOOI, at $2800 is losing money liao
  13. New purchase: Lamps for my children bedroom --bought at 80% discount! only $88!!
  14. so far i only heard of reborn leather.. it is a recycle leather.. duno good anot? anyway can enlighten how many kind of leather sofa? i know even if real leather also have different grades?
  15. ask me! me work in insurance BEFORE... haha... anyway, if u have HDB loan, you will already have Basic Fire insurance (as this is compulsory when you have HDB loan). Basically it only covers your house structure - your renovation, home contents (like furniture, electrical appliances) not covered. you need to buy additional coverage especially u have renovation... some plans also cover liability - meaning if your house on fire, n spread to ur neighbour, your neighbour can sue u to pay for the damages.. with insurance, they will pay for u! u can consider NTUC home insurance if u on tight budget...basically as a guide, it is a home contents insurance, so u can buy a plan of coverage enough to cover your renovation n your furnitre n electrical appliances will do... cos no point over insure where things in your house don't add up to that much.. because when it comes to claim, they will pay according to your item value LESS depreciation...
  16. i think it is EPF foam, a kind of foam that HDB approve for use leveling in hdb
  17. hi blue, it kind of puzzles me that u waited ah soon 3 months just for a quote? i hope u will find your ideal contractor soon. not to deny there are other good contractors in renotalk also! but price wise... hi blackcar, oh yes, like what u say, despite of the aeroplanes, we must always know of the discount we are enjoying.. besides, it also doesn't mean that if u pay $10K more to other companies, you won't meet such problem!! it was until my hubby colleagues who renovated alittle earlier than me, with CLA**IC ID***. The ID never go to site, the workers protest never recd salary, lots of hidden cost, failed to protect his existing marble flooring resulting many scratches and REFUSED to take responsibility... etc! after listening, reading n witnessing all the possible bad things that may comes along, i rather go with a $10K discount than to pay $10K more n still have the risk of running into problems. Side note: seems like some of ah soon competitors is having 'red eyes' over his popularity over here.. (looking at some of the post in this thread that is somehow questionable..)
  18. i love your waterfall tap! so cool! i also bought a waterfall one, but not as chio as yours !! if i am not wrong, this tap is displayed in the centre of the shop! so chioz!
  19. asked about the horsy liao... price is almost close to yours: 这匹马长230cm高243cm cost: $2800 havent include freight charges wor.... think ur lobang is very good deal! unless there is an order of above 10pcs, think then the price can lower...
  20. oh i love this!! i desperately wanted this but my husband say NO. he was told by the tile shop people that this kind of tiles requires alot of maintenance...i don't understand what kind of maintenance they are referring to? anyway must take picture of ur gold toilet !!
  21. haiz... its feels very lousy to have neighbours re-acting this way! haven't move in already all black face... it is not we purposely disturb people what.. one word, NOT UNDERSTANDING!! >... but u dun worry also, cus u are at the top, the rest are all below u <at your mercy> ... hahaha... if u talk about hdb in redhill is vvvvv expensive! can be as expensive as a 5rm in other area!
  22. i will suggest if brushing teeth, to use a cup to rinse teeth-- the most save water de..
  23. hi, not siding with uncle, but i guess the problem lies with the workers... but of course uncle must either take care of this kind of issue or make good if things goes wrong... like what other forumers always said, if u are on a tight schedule, uncle is not the right person for u
  24. oh dear! did u tell uncle about it? well if it is damaged due to their negligence, uncle will have to be responsible to u... have u told him about it? anyway the concealed wiring in ur toilet, mine also kena... meaning, tiles already up but wiring not up, one of it, the electrician managed to drill a hole into the tiles (no cracks at all), so no problem. one of the toilet, uncle say will retile the affected tiles.. so no worries, if u already tell him where u want the wiring, write it down n place a paper there. if he forget, he will retile at his own cost... (i think iy is only right for him to take responsibility)
