Trunking installation was done by Natural Cool After 30 min planning discussion and 4 hrs of installation, here are the pics.

Day 21 2 men came today, additional waterproofing, continued tiling, painting oil sealer, aircon people (3 of them) came to lay trunking Total cost for the day's work: $200 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $4300 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $7640.21 Natural Cool aircon trunking people supposed to come at 12noon, called me yesterday to ask for delay till 1pm, i asked them to come at 12.30pm. Today they came late at about 1.20pm, rather disappointed. Discussed on trunking position for about 30min, rather pleased with end result. But sadly, they broke one of my tile, good thing it is not very obvious. Another tile was also slightly bent, although even less obvious. Reason why my tile broke was because they used concrete drill bit instead of tile drill bit. (will show pics in next post)

I boxed up my pipes. No more pipes, yay

Paiseh i never see the light bulbs there

actually i bought my doorbell in batam, about $15

lightings there is same price as in singapore, but in RM, not SGD so about 2.4 times cheaper

welcome to RT

Day 20 3 men came today, finish plastering, painted base coat (oil sealer), started tiling Total cost for the day's work: $300 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $4100 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $7440.21 Discovered more chipped tiles. Have to workaround it.

yes calculated by tilers. usually they count in terms of 30cm x 30cm (which is 1 sqft) which is the most common. so if you buy bigger tiles, you can easily convert. He wanted wastage of at least 5 tiles but I bought just enough. If not enough because he damaged them, I can buy more, but he has to pay I bought 9 different models of tiles so 9 x 5 x 2.5 = $112.5 (how much wastage would cost if i bought as requested, assuming each tile is $2.5) my most expensive tile cost $6 per piece. Yes, tile supplier can estimate grout and strips. But please bring pictures of the places you intend to tile for better advice.

retagged so i can view them

yeah ordered myself, but was expecting more than 5% discount number of tiles to be purchased is calculated by my tiler. pvc strip depends on the length of your tiles and the number of corners you want to protect. grout depends on the number of colours of tiles you are getting and the floor area it covers. it's stated on the bag of grout that for 30x30cm tiles, 0.3kg can cover 1 square metre. Each bag is 2.5kg (Hafary selling) so that's enough for 8 square metre. I bought 4 colours as my tiles are of varying colours. You can also ask the sales people to help you with the pvc strip and the grout. I am sure they will be able to recommend the number of strips/grout to buy.

btw, tiling for my 3rm's kitchen floor, bathroom floor + wall and toilet floor + wall takes 5-6 days so your 4rm should take 2 weeks if you're doing all your floors

My tiles from Hafary were delivered today only 1 pallet, took 2 men to carry them up within 30min

Day 19 3 men came today, removed wall paint from living room (former bedroom 2), plastered the toilet ceiling, brought tiles up to the house, did curb for my toilet, planned tile layout Total cost for the day's work: $300 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $4100 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $7440.21 Tiles were delivered today to my house, a bit of chipping to my tiles. (called Hafary and they asked me to cut off the chipped parts if possible, if not can call the sales people.)

Day 18 1 man came today, plaster living room (former bedroom 2) ceiling Total cost for the day's work: $100 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $3800 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $7140.21

you asked me in this thread, i answered already, you didn't see? for my hacking contractor, i just ask the hdb licensed contractors. as for the rest, you can DIY so anyone can do it. but you must get professionals i just observe what needs to be done and do it. you can observe my procedures and follow, where applicable or you can hire me as consultant

Ok, let me know when you know

please paint them black

o.O not a lot lah, i seriously cutting down already. decided to plaster tiles instead of using acrylic. who is Getz Bro? sounds expensive. Is it dama's competitor? I go for cheap and good, not expensive

Day 17 3 men came today, moved my furniture to mbr since it's ready, scrap off paint of bedroom 2, plaster kitchen ceiling Total cost for the day's work: $300 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $3700 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $7040.21 bought tiles, 4 colours of pvc rounded corner strips and 4 colours of grout today from Hafary, will be delivered on Sat PM. Costs me $1001.71 in total after 5% discount. Think I can't get much discount as my quantity is low. A bit disappointed. I intend to spend as little as possible while having good standard of work No target. I pay every week, as agreed prior to starting of this project.

if not leaking, keep it. if ugly, use acrylic to cover it up
