No problem, just show it to her and tell her to stop acting blur.

Lazy, eat into her profits, just say the word, stop giving excuses like impossible to do.

If she can't offer solutions, she will have to pay for that mistake, simply that.

looking fwd to ur victorious news!

Jia you!!

Oh my goodness.....seem like renovating a house is not really 100% perfect isnt it?

haha, i would say nothing would be perfect. no matter how good or wonderful a renovation is, there's bound to mistakes here and there. It's up to your own expectation on what you can accept, what you cannot accept, the amount you pay for that justify the quality of work that you can tolerate.

The most important thing is, when things happened, no matter how big or small the firm is, just have to get them to rectify until you satisfy. A good renovation to me is not a perfect one with no errors at all, but more of even when there's mistakes made, the contractor/ID would go out of their way to rectify for you.

So in the end, even if it's not 100%, at least if the condition is about 90 to 95% of what we call perfect, i'm ok to accept it since i know they are sincere. To me, the only person that can make ur home renovation 100% perfect will be to do yourself, because only you know what you want and what is the type of standard you want. However, between you and your spouse (or co-owner), each has their own standard, so whose standard it should be based on?

haha, think i'm spouting nonsense.

tell your id. if you can find a carpenter that say they can change it for you will she be willing to waive the whole kitchen carpentry works fee?

i've encountered so many craps id, carpenter etc throughout my reno works. i'm pretty hands on, if they say cannot find,cannot do etc i'll challenge them. they ended up no choice LL have to do. usually its not so much of cannot find or do, its they are lazy or cutting cost. id firms mark up lots.

It's not easy even when it's recommended by frenz or in the forum. Really cannot 100% trust too.

Dun expect perfection but expect up to expectation.

Yeah, I agreed with you.

But what done is done.

lol. Yes I have read ur blog too. really quite a nightmare.

I dun think there will be discount or compensation given. At most it's retifications. Since in the first place, already set aside tat sum of money for reno, jus dun wanna exceed budget and hope everything do nicely will be happy liao.

No amt of compensation can compensate a poorly designed house right?

Hahaha...what to do? Already shifted in liao. There are lots of cut leg feeling here and there.

Anyway, other than that danm tiler who screwed up my floor, the rest of the renov is good. I have no complain.

And the after service is good too!

Anyway, before this, I nearly to sign up with De Palmco.....luckily I did not.

The others such as Ho Bee and Jade.

Kari, sakae sushi's suggestion is definately the way to go if your IDs remain stubborn and irresponsible. Sharing you my own experience on my mum's place, whereby we have a renov flaw in our toilet. Everything is done up by then, but we insist that the flaw to be fix. Our IDs have no choice but to re-do the fixings and re-tile the area. Although eventually its still shortcoming, at least we put up a fight to claim our rights and get some improvement.

All the best today and do update us :-) .
