I jut realized that ur house is huge!! Jaykr! It's a jumbo or EA? I second rtechlow, I love the colour in your toilets and kitchen, pity that u're removing them. Have a smooth Reno and enjoy!

Ur place is looking gd!! and yes I love the Tiffany blue strips and back splash! Sidetrack: what u meant by rough finishing for carpentry? Tot its finished by laminates, will still feel rough?

He says by this week.let's just cross our fingers. We've already moved out of the old place. Bunking in w the folks but I'm moving my stuff over this weekend.

U mean the wall bracket? My contractor didn't tell us yet ley. I doubt that he can handover coz the carpentry is still halfway done. Tmr painters are coming in to touch up though.

Hullo happyang. Dropping in to check if everything is ok here!

Thanks summer and retchlow! Abit noob coz our previous house in punggol has concealed pipes by HDB thus we don't remember if it looks like this or not.

Sharing something we saw that day coz this company was having a roadshow at whitesands. A similar concept to eubiq but alot cheaper. Can't say so for the quality of plugs but the track looks similar. It's called easycon, haven't use them before so I dunno anything abt the quality service standard but its an option for those who wanna try

Quick question. Does anyone knows if we do not conceal the water pipes, the joints of the mixer will look like my pic below and there is no way we can install the steel rings to cover it? I've asked the plumber and he said Hdb is like this...

I can relate to what you've just said. But not easy really. I know that there are designers who only take on a handful of jobs at the same time. I've approached someone who turned down our jobs because our schedule didn't meet hers. And honestly if we're to have a third home( which I think we will maybe years later) and if she is still in this line. I won't hesitate to contact her again. Whatever it is, it's another lesson learnt! What done cannot be undone we can only look forward

Oh yes, thanks for the reminder! I'm gg to change the lid!

Why so fast? Most of my sanitary wares / accesssories hve not been installed except for 2 taps and my common mixer. The rest all pendin leh

Toilet bowl ill flipped ler. Haha! Ask him to pay lor else ask him to ferry for u!! his car big enough.... Hohoho

Same here, ashes in my mbr toilet. Use still must smoke. Create ambience meh? %^{^{#]** Anyway. If I see the trash again, ill make sure ill ask their 'father' to come clean for me this time.

Happyang: buy more water for ourselves too! Haha at this rate, we also heaty! I ever buy ya kun kopi they drink finish still throw there lor. Some of them really .. *kok their head* But of course there have been nice ones also la.

In word of fairness, to err is human. At least he is still there rectifying my errors. Honestly we haven't really conclude ourselves how we feel but we def weary and frustrated with the recent events. Guess anyone will be. No one likes delay/hiccups. the house is yours, trust your gut feel in contractor/id selection and do not be swayed by our comments. Gd luck

Lets Huat together!! My toilet outside also sama sama la :X I poured half a bottle of toilet duck today into both toilets! Chin up! Lets countdown together !

I couldn't help but laugh at your comment! Hahahaha See! I told u I truly know what you're gg through when I said I feel you on your review. Keeping fingers crossed that handover will be this week...

Yeap! Disgusted to the max! Get them to wrap up ur mbr toilet. mine they tore the wrapper after chemical wash ... zzzzz Huh! Wrong size then how? Open up already still can exchange?

Hi happyang, Our dates are pretty similar. Tmr is supposed to be the last day of work so wed handover but... I forsee delays again because we have plumbing, painting and plastering touch up. Wasn't too happy today because i truly find the attitude of the sub con horrendous. And what maddens me was that I arrived on site early today and only found out that schedule has been moved.. Decided to do a grocery run to pick up cleaning necessities (to stock up the empty house) so that I can start when they are done. I think I took 30-40mins or so and when I returned. The shower screen in the common toilet has been removed. But what maddens me was the sight that greeted me at my mbr toilet. My pictures weren't too clear as it was taken using my camera phone but the rims are filed w yellow blotches. I do not understand why do they have to use the toilet in mbr when : (1) water outlets are not up yet so technically the only water point is the wc. (2) we actually allowed all of them to use the common toilet if they need to. (3) there is no work for them to do in the mbr since they are only here to remove the cursed shower screen. I shall leave you all to guess what the blotches are and needless to say. Alan got it from me badly, I told him I really appreciate him rectifying but the attitude and conduct of these people left me aghast and speechless. Although he offered to get those guys to come clean the place, i really rather they not come.

Lo and behold, the famous adidaem in our t-blog! Welcome! Maybe I should rephrase, those having the same contractor should spend more time there. we had a relatively fuss free Reno with our first home that we are really surprised on the amount of supervising we had to do w this yet there can be things not done well like a leaking window after they changed the glass panes because of poor installation. We did the same as what you mentioned for our first home(i even went away for a holiday) but its a total different experience this one. With the number of mistakes the sub cons are making till date. We're not prepared to let them do it on their on now because if we count back the date we started 15jan. It'll be 12 weeks since we started thou in between we've met w 2 major holidays/events that workers go on 'leave'. It could be a biased opinion to say that my contractor has too much on his plate now to fully concentrate on each individual projects or it might be that we're just unlucky to get lousy sub-cons time after time. I can only comment when everything is over. But whatever it is, we really wanna just get it done and over with for now.

Yes, you really need to spend time and there are times that there are 3-4 sub cons all there at once. It's could be virtually impossible to moniter all at once

We didn't see them install this door. When we were there, they are installing the mbr glass door which is supposed to be the only glass swing door in the house. The 2 screen showers SHOULD be sliding doors. We were caught by surprised on that they installed a swing door in there because there is barely space to swing.

I asked and he told me its v troublesome and difficult blah blah. Since it was 2 spots then we okayed it but since they screw up the shower screen door and I'm getting the tiler to come back. Ill have them change all. 既然他们把我们的随便当成方便， it doesn't matter how many pieces of tiles they need to change since it's gg to be 顺便.

I think so too. We're trying our Best to be positive! After all, I can only hope for the law of attraction to pull all e positive vibes to us!

Yeah I know, sometime they are really 'Cham' , they are the overwork and underpaid workers. Hopes everything goes smoothly for ur Reno!
