Yo, how you, long time no hear, still flying around often ah? Seepage issue not solved yet. They were suppose to come yesterday but I can't make it, so will arrange another time. I heard they talking abt taking out 2 of the fixed window panel at the bottom so that they can silicon, so i'm quite happy . Wait till all finish then I'll update again. Henry mentioned that after the window issue is settled, then will do the flooring again... might not take out the affected one, just need to re-polished, not sure if that's good enough... will take one thing at a time lah And btw, I also a few years to 40 leh...

No, keke, not using the oven at all....hahahah...

wow... saw your nice new red stand mixer

Hmmm... sorry to hear what you are going thru'... actually my reno with him is not one without hiccups, think I've also mentioned in my t-blog... not very very serious kind... all can be rectify. The only one remaining (yes, still doing...) is my balcony flooring. Water seepage issues, wood all turn dark now, he say will replace... window guy coming down tmr to inspect again... sigh... I feel that one thing bad abt him is his mouth. He like to shoot words without thinking. Words which are not pleasing to house-owner, like those you have mentioned. He like to say nobody do things like that one lah, like that nevermind lah, a little bit only... so I'll tell him, ya, but I'm staying here, and it matters to me... or something like, yalor, $100 only mah, don't charge also never mind mah... that kind of sarcastic words, then he will shut his mouth and get his worker to do it... And trust me, we speak to his sub-con directly most of the time (painter, electrician, wood flooring guys) cos no point telling him, he will tell you cannot this, cannot that, so don't bother. But one thing I must agree, he can be contacted quite easily, he will not ignore your call lor. I've moved in since Feb, and whenever I call him, he will still reply me I hope you will be able to settle the outstanding issues with him soon... peacefully...

Help needed... I converted my balcony into a living space and had parquet flooring for that area. Not long after I moved in, I realised that there is a water seepage issue Not sure where it's from so I call up contractor. He arranged for window guy to come but window guy say not really their problem cos glass panel is firmly fixed, no sign of water seepage. But he did apply silicon to seal up some possible area. See from image, the blue oval area is the extra piece he uses to 'seal' up the gap inbtw the wall and the balcony frame to reduce the impact of rain water. But he cannot reached the base to apply the silicon, so it's not fully sealed up, thus causing water being collected there... The red arrow showing water seepage. So after that told dear contractor abt my wood flooring issue (turned dark, glue not sticking well for the skirting etc...), he got the wood flooring guy to come up and have a look and told me that he would change those affected... So just in case it's not his fault, but HDB's, I call up HDB, then over to TownCouncil to check on water seepage issue. They came, say confirm not wall issue. It could be that the frame when installed, not probably siliconed... Of cos dear darling contractor, those he knows him, knows how he talk lah... say this... 'no one in the whole singapore will go out to silicon the base one lah, that one cannot be done one ...' So I told him, yes I know I stay very high, I will not / dare not ask any one to go out to do such but since you are changing the flooring, shouldn't we solve the root issue, so that I won't come bother you again... Told him to come see, he tell me he can draw out the area liao, don't need to see... sigh... (yes, he came once, before the window guy came down for 1st time rectification) So after that he say will arrange for window guy to contact me.... Sigh... so I needed advice... anyone who has converted their balcony into living area has such issue before? Any one has any idea what went wrong? I wanted to make sure we solve this water seepage issue before they redo the flooring.... Thx

Ya, saw the SimpleHuman's series, feel that none suitable leh...

Not yet leh, can't decide what to get. I'm quite ok with the current setting. I'll usually dry and put them away into the drawers at the end of the day. But think a nice dishrack would be useful... let me know if you found one ok

Hmm... possible...
