Ouch...is he still contactable? If i'm you i sure go gila liao..

omg, i totally feel your pain. I hope things will go smoothly for u. Btw how much did you give to ur ex-lecturer? Lets say if the deposit was a small amt i would rather forgo it and look for others instead and work doubly hard to recover the lost amount. Since its the start there's few errors already.

Based on my quotation comparing to his and the current ID involved, IMO his carpentry is slighly steep probably due to in-house carpentry. For my case i regret dropping him. Anyways since you've got plenty of time try to work out with him and see what can be discounted or scout around first. @Melwood1978 : for real?

While waiting for reno to complete...Sharing with you the things i've bought Samsung UA46ES6600 : Just for my console gaming / movies : Bedroom LG55LM6700 : Soccer night with my mates & singing glory glory man utd : Living Room Samsung WF1804 : Basic WM Samsung RSH5SUSL : I'm wondering if the fridge can squeeze in through the door. Mistake was i didn't check however message the salesguy and he said shouldnt be any issue. Hmmm. Everything in total cost me $6677, Which means i need to chiong more comm everyday. Sigh!!!

Thank you sir, Same goes too you. God bless

what about your mbr toilet? chix pox tiles also? Choosing tiles is indeed a tough choice. Back than before i got my keys, close fren of mine told me go see see look look at tiles so that when the day comes it will be much easier since you know what to go for. But than again by the time it comes there will be diff designs and you're back at square one.

Hahahaha, hopefully lucky all the way...

Hi Mandj, Thanks for popping by. My dining table gonna be in between the sofa and the fridge area. Planning to get either round or smaller rectangle table for poker nights with my buddies. Here's the updates during my lunch period again..Few things had been done so far which is the brick to seperate the kitchen sink and washing machine. And the MBR toilet tiles are up as well... Met my new neighbours which is an old aunty, She says " ah boy ahh. everyday you come and spot check hor "

Hi Bro, I've email you regarding my needs. Hope to hear from you the soonest. Thanks Regards, Remy

Thanks Mrs Loo, Just told him about this issues and ID told me that once cabinet is up i wont be able to see it. For the sides it will be cement screened to make it even.

wish you all the best in getting the right ID/Contractor. Unlike my current situation. I have to trust him to do a good job as of now & hopefully no hiccups along the way.

IC, thanks for the highlight...i googled for answers in renotalk and there's a few answers found as well. Some ID mention to the consumer is partially stable the cupboards etc etc. Well i'm not sure how true it is but based on the consumer reno, seems to be good. i guess it depends on luck i suppose.

mine too didn't have tiles behind the cabinet. not sure of the pros and cons as well.

thats what i've read regarding bout induction. Even if it allows you to do so, the taste would be different hahaha...Furthemore all the cookware had to change. Mayb in near future it will replace all the existing gas etc etc..

Thats right i'm in a rush to move in as i'm staying at a rented place. Before i sign the dotted line i ask 2 ID's and both are willing to take the job and both gave the same answer that it will be the kitchen last to complete. I fully understand as the time frame is short. As of now he's left with 20 more days before i can move in temporary. Most of the bathroom stuff will be sent on 7 Dec and lighting will be on the 10th dec. Crossing my fingers that all will go well this week.

cool, wanted to change to induction as well but since my mum sometimes like to stir fry, i have to forgo that. Btw ur theme is industrial theme?

When will your reno start?

Hope your ID will update you whats going on during the works, For instance mine didnt update any plus everyday i go down to check...Grrr. Thank goodness i work at NEX and so lunch time i have to rush down and see. For those looking for ID's. Remember not to make the same mistake as mine. Alot of cock ups. But for now too late to realise but i have to pray everything will go smootly and no major screw ups in this upcoming weeks.

Here comes the sad part, Was inspecting the tiles and happen to see this. Its not straight at all. Look at the bottom tiles Anyone experience this before, I saw a chipped tiled at the top corner and since its not visible to the eye, I let it pass but this...Hmm. I quickly message ID and he told me once cabinet is up i wont be able to see it and the sides will be cement screened to make it even. My main concern is fear of having gaps which could cos ants nest in the near future. Any experts ard? Lets say if the cabinets are up and its not even, Should i tell him to redo or redo the whole tiling now since cabinet is not up yet. Sigh!!!!

Some updates during the weekends...Rush down to see what had been done since Fri & Sat i didn't visit...Some positives and negatives. Sigh!!! Toilet Right Side Kitchen Left Side Kitchen

Hi Ashleyspace, Thanks for popping by. Initially the ID tot it was a solid wall but later we found out that its a fake one just to cover up the pipings. No feature wall or whatsoever. He told me there are some changes on the design as well. Hoping to turn out good also.

wanted to but back than not much choices and COV was freeking steep. Furthemore it doesn't meet my budget so i have to forgo PP. I choose hougang is becos i'm very familiar with that area and been staying there for ard 13 yrs. Btw does your block got gas piping or have to use gas cylinder?

Hi there, Nice 3D you got there. Your layout is the same as mine too. All the best in your upcoming reno.

yeah, its a small community but everyone almost know each other, Thats the beauty about that area. I prefer there as most of my close friends stay at that area till across the bridge. Apart from that we always hang out at 146 to lim kopi in the middle of night. Probably we might bump into each other nxt time round. haha.

is ur block 107 something like that? Not very familiar with the blocks but i'm always at that area especially the 146 kopitiam. good location u had there.
