upset..upset..about the doors...

in my quotation, it was stated as

" to supply and install 3 nos. of nyatoh door frame (3ft by 7ft) at 3 bedrooms"

"to supply and install 3 nos. of nyatoh door (3ft by 7 ft) at 3 bedrooms

"to supply and install 1 set of fire-rated (half hour) door and frame (3 ft by 7 ft) at main entrance...

issue is, i find the door very light, and not as solid as my old hdb door...so asked the ID.

she told me that the doors are not solid, its hollow core nyatoh door...which i was very shocked as my impression of nyatoh doors are only solid....nothing else...which is why i didnt query her on the doors in the quotation....

imagine my main door is not solid wood....very upset...

virgo

are your doors light? anyway, we managed to resolve at least the main door. She will remove the door, dun charge us, and we will get our own contractor to install it. she say her supplier dun have the HDB heavy duty doors...

I wouldn't worry too much about joint lines on your laminate. Just ensure that the joint lines are at areas which aren't conspicuous (e.g., near the top, on the underside of cabinets etc). I didn't notice that I had a couple of those and it wasn't till I moved in for a week that I noticed it.

What I did to "hurry" my renovations was to actually move some stuff in and then start locking up rooms/doors that were completed. It was to send a strong signal to contractor to hurry up. I also told him that I wld change the lock on a stated date and did so.

nyatoh door i think is hollow wan leh unless you specified SOLID nyatoh door and usually it will cost more..

ya my doors same as virgo as we using same ID ma..main door is solid and bedroom so called veneer door..

i felt that the doors a little light feeling and sounded hollow when we knocked..anyway i am not using the fire rated door also..

my cooker hood fit nicely with the top cabinet, no gap leh...unless your ID got the cabinet measurements wrong? btw the hood can be further secured at the back onto the wall tiles so that it looks more "fitting"

precisely..but my ID say that the backing cannot be cut already....at most she can only shift up the hood....irritaing, rite? imagine u will keep knocking onto the hood when u stand there...my hood is only 512 mm...

one problem with my ID is she likes to make assumptions based on her habits...

huh your ID hor, duno wat to describe la

mine was not secure at the back at first and when we first looked at it and husband keep on knocking his head against it and he is just 1.68 tall hor..then my ID gave a push towards the back and surprisingly it "slip" in...to me it seem so dangerous that it is not secured so ID say can be done..and now is sui sui fixed in

you are the customer ma so she should discuss with you instead of making her own assumption..
