Guess you still busy hor? My weekday is busy at work but I try to find time for leisure, taking some courses. Life is not all about making these $£¥€. As for weekend, other than cleaning & washing, I do find time for shopping & meeting with friends. I must find something to do, otherwise if stay at home, my appointment is with my bed & the Sealy Posturepedic mattress zz Heard that your new lady boss is weirdo, expecting you to work late?

wow...your day is packed with activities...and AGM till evening! Good nite zz

I'm ok too! She is already. I'm also soon...want to wake up earlier to buy food, then go JE Mrt to wait for Marshy & her hubby, and Kobelala & his wife.

I am okay on both dates...your housewarming on 17th May, then we arrange another day to visit the Boon Keng gang.

haha...me too...going to Meet you in my dream first, then in Maydream1's place in May. Kekeke

Hallo, my friend We will see you at your beautiful place! Tonight not watching movie with hubby?

Looks like alot of us are friends of Cleanliness White! saw that you have white wall tiles in your kitchen: then sis Marshy has her Starhub green & white cabinet, csingeu is lagi best...glossy white floor tiles! Have noted the proposed dates of our next gathering at your place! Dates chopped chopped!

I know I shouldn't flare up but I just can't remain calm when I see the mess. Clean freak lor. By the way, I'm meeting Sis Marshy, Bro Kobelala & his wife at my place tomorrow. I will miss you lor... When your place is ready, we shall meet everyone there

Hey, Bro & Sis I am happy to meet you & Sis Marshy again. Tmr meeting is confirmed & looking forward to seeing you both. Text message sent! Hooray

Ya lor. I remembered when we moved back aftet renovation, our Internet service was not installed yet & my children really bored at home! Most of the time, I am using my iPhone to surf & blog if I'm not uploading any pictures in the forum.

May Didn't see your post on purchase of cooker hob. Are you getting the glass Hob? You noticed the silicon seal applied at all sides of my hob? Not sure if my method of leaving the gaps at one corner is correct. Sis Marshy says to leave gaps, so that corner should be strategically correct!!

Feedback also useless lor Our network all the while is working like snail crawling, then when email server is migrated to IBM Germany, the situation just gotten from bad to worse Sometimes really gave up using Internet at work!

May Seems your working relationship with your contractor is Good relationship = good working atmosphere, easy to 'cham siong', easy to nego. I already taken the 'Bad Customer' award, left with the award for 'Good Customer' which can give it to you now. Yesterday busy with online transactions & kena 'kicked' out by Gateway timed out several times! Wasted so much time doing nothing......and today is no difference!!!

But May herself said different pricing wo Then it should be renamed as " different discount policy" which sounds more appropriate. - Walk in New customers: no discount - Repeat customers: X% discount - Recommended customers: Y discount

Wow got different pricing some more ~ those walk-in customers kena "carrot" is it?

Marshy So looks like you are working on 2 Excel versions at Home using newer version on your Mac & Office using 2003

Actually I received a quotation from one ID firm in full Excel format and by far the BEST quality in terms of format & layout....and also their price lor I can email that to you, as reference ...and may be you can improvise from there for your contractor.

May, So you are creating a template for your contractor. Got Copyright or not? Can 'sell' your template to more contractors le. Marshy, I am just the opposite...I am pro in MS Words but not Excel. After the advance Excel course, I am confused & lost with all the formula (VLook, If, etc etc). You must be very Pro in excel lor. Our QS & Commercial people are also Pro in Excel, and whenever customer requested for soft copy of pricing document, they will copy the value and remove all formulas and pasted onto another spreadsheet. Sometimes when I check their document, I will run through each line item by item to ensure no formula and mark up% in the cells...which sometimes happen lor ...and I will start at them!

Instead of rolling on the bed, I might as well do some readings until my eyes tell me that's enough. Woah, you still so hardworking to do spreadsheet? I started off one spreadsheet to compare the reno quotations, but after reno started, I moved my focus away. Now, if you asked me exactly how much I spent for my reno & purchases, I can only give you my guesstimation!

Bro, If you need our help, just let us know. Both Marsy & me have completed our renovations, and May's reno is ahead of you. So, we can share our knowledge and lessons learnt with you.

Hello, dear sisters here What time already still not sleeping yet? Tomorrow not working is it? I know Marshy wakes up very early!

After reading the hiccups & issues faced by good friend csingeu makes me feel heart pain for him lor Just 2 days into the reno journey & he has to solve the problems by himself...poor thing. I am glad that I am lucky one with a good ID to take care of my house like his own. That's why I dare not park my initial $50k renovation contract in the hands of an unknown contractor, especially where our renovation is extreme makeover. At least anything not happy with the contractors, I can push to the ID to solve them for me. Now, I just want to wish him to stay calm, focus & strong enough to conquer all odds & challenges! Csingeu, if you are reading this, JIA YOU!! I support you all the way!!

I just took a measuring tape to take the readings: - drop at shower tray area is 30mm, because the whole floor there is gradient slope for water to flow towards the shower area. Even at the shower screen area, quite amaze that water can flow outwards to the shower tray, and no water ponding issue at all. I can see from the sliding door bottom track the slope is obvious.

Four years ago when I'm without a domestic helper, I will take half day leave at least once a fortnight to spring clean my house - washing bedsheets, sweep & mop the floor, dusting all the nooks & corners, cleaning the windows. Today, first time I'm taking half day leave since I moved back after renovation to do these chores. While cleaning the windows, it started to rain & this makes my task easier - I am used to splashing water while washing the window ledge.

Talking about the floor trap, mine is also located inside the shower area which is a "drop down" area. Don't see any problem why cannot do?
