Hi, I dont see any issue of hacking that wall. Its should be fine.

First, remove metal legs. second, sit on it. third, take it out of your room. Its a simple job, dont waste money.

Lol, finally ah! It has been near to 4 months since your reno was completed.

Hi Tom, There's a project in this t-blog, the owner hacked the kitchen wall and did a table top for their breakfast using high stool. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40605&st=80 The cost is base on the length of the wall, hacking, plaster smooth, table top materials, PE fees, etc. Just sent you a pm too.

Disappear...are they from the same company? Some carpenters they have different person to go to the site. For example, the boss of the carpenter will go down to take a rough dimension so he can give the id a price. Once the Id confirm with him, the boss will get his carpenter to go down to take the site measurements. If you have sign up the whole contract including the carpentry, I doubt they will let you take out from the contract, they might ask you to compensate. Btw no harm trying if you are really afraid of they can't meet the timing or workmanship. It's good if u can call up your id and check with him what's happening to the carpentry.

For laminate flooring installations are done in tongue and groove method. Some call it as clip system. Not only supreme do that. But most of them do.

Hi frosty, Have you heard of the older the jade is, the nicer color it will turn? Btw if the color you like you can just polish it. It will shine back. As for the water Absorb is the marble flooring. And its easy to maintain, as you can see most of the commercial building they are using granite, and they are using those cleaning machine to clean them with plenty of water. Hope this info help.

bro, for HDB u dont need a LEW, a electrician will do the job liao. LEW is needed for testing and the cost is high. Rewire first then painting i guess

Hi renotm, it depends on the length. and how many points of lighting.

As for schedule, its always says that PROPOSED SCHEDULE... if yourself delay some work or have additional or even drag some of the time. How could the contractors met the schedule?

If this is given to contractors for your home, you are really asking for bad workmanship due to rush work. As for retails and commerical, theres a LD because of huge rental fee, workers pay and etc. Hope other members here do not follow your way. Do you want to save a few hundreds and compromise the workmanship that you might used at least for 5 to 10 years? Do a calculation for this.

Agreed... the price is reasonable. But make sure he has time to jaga your reno work nice nice. good luck

if you are only stacking them from bottom to top without a grap like what i did for my customer then its much easy. but the effect wont be that nice la. since its DIY means budget, then just stack up each other.

maxbond go hardware shop buy cheaper.

9 colours for 1800 is cheap man! dont think liao.

above quote is cheap??? no wonder i always lost money and under quote.

ehhh shawn, what is acrylic wall panel? or acrylic sheet? If you are talking about acrylic sheet ( in 2mm,3mm etc...) u can get those on most of the acrylic supplier. Greenbook!

Hi Dreamgal, I am not a FS master. But over the years of renovation experience and from my client's master. I know that stove and sink in kitchen can face each other ( means opposite side facing each other ) as for you kitchen i think its fine. As for some master they have the FS compass to check where you stove need to be place. ( apply to some master only ) because for my master he always tell me that kitchen is the most important place where all the money come from. As for the study table, why dont push all the way to the wall? Anyway, hope there are some expert to advise you on this.

it can be done with parquet, but the cost will be much higher then those who did on the ground. But usually we do veneer finish.

hmmm u can ask him to change the laminate for you.

Hi Hari, I find that the prices are quite reasonable. Plus you have a fren using them and are happy with their service. Just go ahead, if you are un sure just ask for another 100 or 200 discount.

if you have time to DIY, maybe you can do it 5 pcs a day. but before u lay it, u need to draw lines..... enjoy.

Hi all, Reply to this post. It doesn't matter who you get. Contractors or ID. Just go for the one you feel comfortable , resourceful, helpful, reliable, responsible, and last but not least. PRICE! Thanks to Summer for such a big help and the exp in DIY his own house. Well, i got to say, if you have the time and its "cheaper" pls go ahead and DIY all the contacts. ID's and contractors wont hate you,if you really know this industry well. I am in this industry for 13 years. You can easy to get a so called direct contactor to do the job for you. But Direct contractor might give you the price of a owner price as well. And if you go to a tile shop directly and u think contractor can earn from you again? LOL means you do not know anything about this. Try to make a friend from a ID, maybe he will explain to you. 20%-30% commission! I wish i can get those commission too. Friend Summer, every ones has a profession and need a living, if you do not understand the industry well, i think better not destroy peoples rice bowl. LOL 4) For hacking of kitchen cabinet, the quote for direct is only $200-$300, but look, your quote is $600. All these savings here & there can get you new cutains, or whatever you like to buy. ---------------> i quoted $220 this my recent client in this forum. 6) I also engaged a co. to do my false ceiling in toilets (contact from my tiler). He quoted me $550 for 2 toilet false ceilings. My lowest quote from contractor is $780. --------> sad to say, maybe you got a high quote. I am just saying the facts, no offence. The Best way are, get a few quotes, check the material used, sizes, etc. BTW its a old post. LOL Happy Week End to ALL!

Tell your ID that you want a bathroom mirror. lol what u need to do is ask them to paste a stickers behind the coating for the moist going in and attacking it. How much it cost. Depends on ur contractors or ID. I do FOC if the client requested for.
