  3. hi, i have cement finish wall, if you keen u can pm me
  4. Hello Marshmellow! long time no t-blog chat here, just dropping a note to say hello my place was fully renovated, but was too lazy to take pics coz 3 mths later i delivered my 2nd child....it was a case of "got heart but no energy".... now on maternity leave, very bored..... my flat is very empty coz i have minimal furniture....no aircon installed. the heatwave almost wiped out my whole family like a bomb i saw the cake!! yumyum! tata!!
  5. marshmellow coz their agent called me to see if they sellers can ctc me directly to collect their mails. I said ok. He "confessed" that they never do the update coz haven't find a place to stay so can't update ic and other organizations eg banks. That day, I even received the husband's posb passbook via mail coz he tried to update and was swallowed by machine. I managed to peek thru the envelope window and saw the subject title. ATM passbook with me they don't even bother!!! Gimz ok I go jeffcraze blog to bio...I went police station (no use) and report them to ICA(pending reply) liao...
  6. Btw need RT forummers help. I have became the official owner of the unit at the end of October but up till now, sellers still have not changed their mailing address n update their residential address on IC...what if they use IC to borrow frm loanshark? Jialatzzzzzzz... Despite my reminders to my agent n their agent, 2 mths have passed and I am still receiving mails. My super lazy agent after sale service is completely zilch... What can I do here to protect myself? Help?
  7. More updates since 1st Dec post... We've move in finally!! Took me 3daya to unpack and last saturday the furniture from Nova came, as well as last round of painting... The main door n grille supplier sux totally. First of all the door looks cheap, the frame looks equally cheap too. Peephole supposed to do for us but they did not. And the door lockset became faulty barely a week after we moved in! The press-down lever at the front came off. If someone were to take this lever away, we basically can't open the door at all! My kitchen and common toilet still has the sewerage smell. Contractor said it will take few weeks to rid the odour; who has the same situation as me? The living room cement screed flooring is very very grainy, no matter how much I've mopped. Sighs.... I will have to tidy up the place this weekend and post pics of the "outcome" on RT
  8. So much updates/happening since my last post. Nova: no problem till now but they have not delivered the sofa & tv console so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Town council: promised to fix my outer facade this week but have not done so till now. We have moved all our furnitre lat Saturday to new place, kept them in 2 spare rooms, and bunked in with in law place... Hafary: if you could recall, we got hansgrohe fittings for bathrooms. While cross checking which items were for which bathrooms, the sales guy realised that I've got only the baton for the common bathroom. However, when I checked with him during the point of sale, he told me it was a set. And on the invoice, it said "starck.....xxxxxx.....shower set". So I should be getting a shower set since this was being communicated to me right. Sighs he recommended me another set but not the starck range (since the rack holder already costs 800+!); which costs 100+... but he refused to grant me a discount especially it was his mistake. Anyway after much back n forth with the sales manager (I went directly to seek help from the sales manager); finally they agreed to gave me the much cheaper set foc. Just went to site, carpentry ongoing even till now. They are in a rush I guess since the confirmed handover date would be next Tuesday. Yay! Can't wait. Will be on leave from Wednesday till Friday to clean n unpack - all by myself (hey I'm preggers somemore ok!) sobz sobz.... Found a supplier to supply n install the main door + frame + main door grille for 1600. Cheap or not ah??? Hmmmmm Pictures taken will be uploaded when I have access to my pc (after all the unpacking)
  9. Thanks delapompe for the insightful info....I hope my sofa n tv console turns out well. Can anyone recommend me a store shelf rack made to measure shop? I've got 1 or 2 quotes but hope can find alternatives and choose the cheapest but best amongst all of them. Yah cheapo me
  10. yooooooooooo marshmellow not sure when but i only can take leave from 8-10 dec for unpacking so ID has to handover the place to me by then re: Nova really? ok i'll chiongz over to find the thread now *panic*
  11. so what else is left? lights customized store racks new fire rated door + door grilles no, no coffee table for us. we never had a coffee table (or sofa in the first 2-3yrs) in our current place back to renovation... spotted a bag of drink that was lying ontop of my concrete/cement bench at balcony. if the coffee seeps out and stained my bench.... deducted $50 off my 4th installment to ID plastering done, electrical work done... on the day that it rained, the water seeped into my balcony (faulty windows) and into my masterbedroom via the air con "hole" that was in the wall (what do you call that anyway) town council promised to rectify (masterbedroom part), but awaiting permission to be approved for gondola. while my dad who specialised in windows and grilles rectification, will make a trip to my new home on wed to see if he can fix the windows at balcony. yay daddy, i love u!! at our side, we will use aluminium + lots of silicon to close up the box/hole and make good. ditched the calcium silicate board idea since water can seep in in time if the exterior leaks again waiting for carpentry to be fabricated, they will come with all the carpentry next week thereafter cement screed living room, stain n polish the parquet, paint the whole house
  12. some updates since my last one was 2 weeks ago... my ID confirmed that he cannot handover to us by end of this mth, which is the day we are moving house. so...we have to move as promised, and shift all the furniture into the 2 spare rooms until the renovation work is finished. will stay at my in-law place interim... bought some stuff during the 2 weeks hiatus:- from Ikea:- a small tv console which serves as my altar dining set (table plus 3 chairs) bought 2 x toilet sinks Electrolux oven sofa & tv console we went to tradehub 21 yesterday to shop for sofa & tv console. the last time we went, we bought terror#1 along so it was a rather useless trip. went in to nova, saw a L shaped fabric sofa at 1399 (before GST), and a tv console at 799 (before GST) that we liked. in the end the sales lady quoted us 1998 (before GST) looking at the prices....i'm very sure i will not pay for these 2 items. so i told her nicely "ok, we'll think about it". also the fact that ah lao giving me attitude problem, i fedup to search further... so she asked, how much is my budget? i told her 1500 for both. oh yes, in the end, we got both pcs for 1500. after GST 1605 was it a steal? hmmm not very sure. RT bloggers can get such deals? L shape 2.7m fabric sofa + 2m black glass tv console anyway i was too tired to look around any further so i just paid when i think it is within "reasonable". same goes for the electrolux oven. upon recommendation of someone from RT, i went to phone aik leong to get my hob and hood. the lady-with-the-same-surname recommended me electrolux oven, quoted me $360. i believed this price was really low, compared to retail price. as i bought my kitchen and WC stuff from another shop, i asked the salesguy if he carries the same model, and got him to sell me at $340. was it a steal? I'm not sure. too exhausted to think and run around (unlike our young, hot blooded, with gusto bloggers here)...old woman
  13. Hello all just checking if anyone has the October issue of home and decor and is willing to give or sell away to me? Pls pm me, thanks!
  14. back to my anger........ told them specifically to be careful with the parquet flooring but there were many parts of the floor with ripped out cardboard I am going to shove this butt up the culprit's nostril. I have emphasized (to the point that I've became naggy) that I do not allow smoking in my flat!! ...And I am going to ask the culprit to swallow the plastic bag down!! ...And the sparkling icing on the cake...ultimate winner!!! by the way, this will be up the culprit's ars3 I have also emphasized (to the point that I've become a super old nag) that I do not allow eating and drinking in my place. The litter or any food that is dropped will attract ants. These commandos will start marching in, build up their lovely home during the renovation (aka 2 renovation concurrently at the same place). By the time they've finished working on my flat, the ants have already moved in earlier than me. I can never get rid of their new nest. By the time we left the place, I had called my ID 7 times; but he wasn't picking up. Thereafter came an exchange of sms ID: Hello, I saw your missed calls. Was trying to put my son to sleep thats why I had to switch it on silent mode me: The tap in the kitchen was still running. Is there any special reason? kitchen flooded ID: HUH?!?!?! I call tiler now! Afterthat, ID called and told me that he will get someone to turn off the tap. He knew that I was angry without even me telling him. Yes, I can be micro-nitpicking if i wish to be. My only sentences were: I will not pay for my water bills for this time round; we'll "talk" more on Monday till tomorrow...........
  15. Nevetheless I moved on to other areas Bathrooms tiles up! the empty parts are for the mosiac strips the hacked wall between bedroom and balcony is up ...and that would be the bench built into the recess area which is part of our dining seating the kitchen entrance sealed up. there will be a big concealed storage built infront of this area which will store basically everything we do not wish to see
