Is this a new BTO? As I know, you are not allowed to hack any walls for new BTOs. So, can't do open concept kitchen liao.... Paiseh, seems only toilet wall and floor tiles. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10324p.nsf/w/HomeRenoGuidelinesBuilding?OpenDocument#Walls I must say, the size of the room is pretty decent if this is a new BTO.

HAHAHAHA.... my colleague asked me what cracked me up so hard.....

I just casually asked him, "eh, if want to plaster eh sai bor".... He retorted, "cannot laa.... I now in the midst of painting... " hahaha...

I see.... aiyo... Really tempted to replaster whole house

How much they quoted for plastering? Mine will jsut do touchup for any holes and marking from the old trunking.... I wanted to patch just one wall as there is a ridge between 2 slabs of pre-fab walls but was quoted 400, which I think bo hua....

Waa... You spoil market aa.... Next time, they come to my place asking for beer I jialat.... Hehehe.... Now it is my turn that the progress is slow. Yesterday totally nobody came to do anything, which I think should at least come to scrape off the old paint, remove all the screw/nail residue and patch up of holes before proceeding with the painting. Haiz.... Now I know how you feel.....

My mum's plants is a killer! those stuff cannot be stacked....

I'm thinking of adding a steel panel behind the hob but ID quoted me 300 for 1m length. Really tempted to put it but really pokkai.... Anyone ever install before? Any alternative?

Julia, Mark's partner have given me the quote. First trip - 350 Second trip onwards - 200 Piano another 120 So assuming 3 trips needed, it will be 350 + 200 + 200 + 120 = 870. Plus another separate trip to pick up the super single bed, say, 50 to 80 will be 920 to 950. Also same as my other quotes liao... Haiz... Looks like can't run away from these figures. I'm tempted to rent a kangoo to transport the carton boxes myself and let the mover move the big items in just 1 trip.

Yes, mod, you should leave it.... I couldn't stop laughing after reading thread.....

If is not about confident or not.... Mistake is bound to happen here and there. All workers employed by IDs are not directly under their payroll as the level of subcontracting can go 3 or even 4 layers.

Customer will be at the losing end eventually. Most pricing will increase after September as an insurance to buffer any claim from customer. Probably, in future they will think of NCD scheme.

Received 3 quotes so far. On all 3 quotes, I asked for another separate trip to pick up a super single bed and frame from YCK which I bought from a nice young couple. Elite - 1030 Soon Seng - 1000 138 - 950 I think another reason why expensive is because my mum has a lot of plants.... SS and 138 both need to pay deposit for boxes which is refundable. Mark has not got back to me....

We have more laborous work... All rooms with false ceiling and whole house laminate... Window and grills also all change. So, things definitely got to speed up...

My hacking is not that much.... Only kitchen and toilet.... Anyway, if he promised you by 4th may, it should be no further delay as he always pride himself to deliver on time. Aiyo... just start hacking only you get impatient liao.... haiz....

Waa... Make me panic... I just called hongtar to confirm my Sys4 Starmex stock and they said don't worry, already reserved.... Hope nothing goes wrong...

Cannot aa... Later they think I bian tai.... High heel fetish....

Yea, must be very on the ball with the ID. When they ask question, must give precise and quick decision so that they can execute without any hesitation. My case now, the kitchen's cabinet is a headache as there are 2 deep beams in the kitchen, difficult to make flushed cabinet. Been talking to the carpenter via phone and email on the perspective drawings.

Is this the unit near to Polyclinic? Anyway, congrats to your new unit!

My house no one wear high heels one.... May or muska, can pinjam your heels?

Edited....

Talk about that, back in my hometown when I was a teenager, my toe was nibbled by a rat when I was sleeping.

My new 1st floor owner has a lot of cats and they are super friendly type. Will even go near the car when I drive off. Everytime got to drive slowly when I drive away. Maybe the owner must have trained the cats to deter cars from speeding?

But too late already maa since they have bought the gate. Anyway now, to minimize dirt still can do a little kerb higher than the door....

Hehehe.... Kamsiah..... will call him up.... Yea, I remember your name. One of the fellow RT nick.... Anyway, what's the name of the company? No hidden cost hor?
