hi eskey

just pm you...i paid $50 but i got the kind of new lock and key for those new flats built by hdb, so quite good.

compared with the last round for my own flat i also paid $50 with another lock smith but he gave me those normal lousy lock and key and he told me he will charge $85 for those new lock used by new flat :bangwall:

regretted lor but too lazy to change another one for my own house.

will update more pics when we move in this weekend...

i want to show my appreciation to my contractors - josephine and james from markwell design and contract, for helping me to rush this reno within 3 weeks, think they have been very supportive and always bear with my short temper at times....overall the reno experience this time was pleasant and well...thanks Jo and James!

hi there, can pm me your contractor number? how is the work quality?

Hi iceprojeckt

have pm you my contractor's contact...

overall the parts of the house which i like the most are their tiling and plumbering work cos the workers are responsible and don't any how do things lor....i did not have time to check on them much but the worksmanship turned out to be nice...i can sense that they took pride in their work, which is quite surprising to me in a way....jo is also a responsible and responsive contractor, so quite happy with their services.

all the best to your reno then... :(
