    Guys - can i seek your opinion on this please.

    Based on contract, we're supposed to pay our ID progressively 20-40-30-10 (final 10% after rectifications)

    So far we have paid the first 60%. Due to changes in our quotation, our original quote of say, $50k, has dropped to around $47k maybe. Is it reasonable for us to request for a variation order before making the next 30% payment? Because if we were to pay 30% based on original quotation, my supposed remaining 10% hostage will effectively drop from $5k to $2k, which I'm afraid the ID would view as negligible hence take his own sweet time to complete rectifications.

    Any advice pls?

    Thanks!

    8) Kitchen sink

    Initially DH wanted a double bowl sink, but in the end we settled for a single bowl as we got a basket (complimentary with the sink and other accessories) for our dirty dishes. I especially like the compartment to put the washing sponge, dish detergent etc so that the countertop could be kept neat.

    Nice sink! May I know where you got it from and hew much?

    Btw - love your sofa too! The wood makes it look really cosy, though I'd be afraid I'll ram my knee into the sharp corners - ouch! :P

    thanks for sharing your experience! now i feel an uncontrollable urge to nag my ID to ensure that nothing is damaged! your cleaners must have done an awful job if something as high up as the chandeliers can rust too. I hope they compensated you somewhat!

    it does makes more sense for the washing to be done before carpentry, ya? clean the tiles etc before the carpentry installation, and prevents damages to the woodwork due to the intensity of the chemicals.

    Think i better doublecheck!

    Hi Everyone!

    Has anyone done their general washing/cleaning after carpentry, when everything is done and ready for handover? Understand most people do the wash before the carpentry installation; any repercussions if its done after?

    Thanks!!

    Hi all!

    Is anyone able to advise which brand of those slimline retractable hoods are good? I've actually shortlisted Bosch and Electrolux - the Brandt one is nice but its 90cm; I only have space for 60cm +/-

    I don't cook often, and don't usually cook oily stuffs, but mine's an open kitchen so still need a relatively good one which can absorb the oil and smell. Anyone can advise please?

    Thank you!

    Hi there!

    Anyone knows how I can dispose of my old laptops and PC?

    I understand there are some karang gunis who will take them, but I've already removed the hard-disks so they are all non-functioning, hence I think the Karang Gunis won't be interested! How can i dispose of the shell and other parts?

    Appreciate your advice!

    Thanks!
