Teckie

Hi I need some recommendations from the forummers here please... Yesterday we were settling our finishing touches for our home and one of the items were to get the cushion headboard for our masterbed customised. We were quoted $550 previously for a king bed (0.7 m height, not full height) but the supplier yesterday decided that it should be $1100 instead. Thinks my name is Robert with the capital R!!! Forget it, I'm not paying $1100 for a short PVC material headboard, no way. especially since I can get entire teak wood bed frames for $1500. Problem is that the customised bed frame is already up so I'm stuck and really need your help. Anyone please? Please pm me... thanks!

Hi I'm starting a new thread for this so that it gets more exposure as I need some contacts and views quickly. I have been quoted the following (for condo): 1) Install and supply lighting point $38 (53) 2) Change light $15 (24) 3) Install light fittings $9 (74) 4) Supply 1X13A SSO $90 (1) 5) Supply 2X13A SSO $150 (10) 6) Supply 4 SCV point $150 (4) 7) Supply and install waterproof socket $150 (2) 8) Supply and install master switch $140 (1) 9) Supply and install cooker hood and hob with heater switch $150 (1) 10) Change switch $35 (16) 11) Change socket $50 (11) 12) Install 2 way $50 (2) 14) Shift 2X13A SSO $50 (4) Altogether is $7230 Can you please let me know if the quote is reasonable? I think it is quite high and would like to get other quotes from electricians. Also, I was told that we cannot "shift" lighting points, must install new ones. I am amending our false ceilings and keeping the basic down lights permutation, but apparently, ALL the lighting points must be new. I find this really strange. Thanks all.. ps: Need the contacts urgently please.

Hi - I just bought a resale condo and I recently noticed that some of the marble tiles have a hollow sound when you step on it. Normally it's not a problem but its at high traffic areas (the steps) which I know will irk me in the long run. Since the marble is no longer available, ID suggested hacking and doing up the whole floor which is in excess of $30K (marble flooring), else live with it. Anyone have any suggestions? I thought that since they are on the steps they can be removed and replaced. Or perhaps there is some other solution? Thanks in advance.

Hi - can you please send this list to me? thanks. fishing_is_my_life@hotmail.com
