Hi ashes02,

Can checked with you the attached written quotation is the finalised one? Do you have the english version. Thanks.

  • Author

hi gaku70, the written chinese quotation is jus a guide. Err.. we submit our original eng quotation to the bank for loan already, and we do not even hv a copy for ourselves....

ok no problem. You layout very similar to mine and thought can use as a guide. So what is the total amt for your reno?

  • Author

only $13k for jus the reno. we only redo the MBR toilet and kitchen floor. the rest are jus carpentry, some re-wiring, painting etc

hope this helps!

$13k is cheap right?? :)

initially i wanted to do MBR toilet + kitchen, IDs quoting me $23k-28k, contractors quoting me at least $20k.

How's ur progress already? Selected the tiles already right? Show us leh! :D

Really envy you cos the original condition is still good. For me it's really very bad considering age of your flat is almost the same as mine.

hai~ we r quite disappointed wif our MBR toilet as they lay them wrongly, without checking wif us *sadness*

This is wat we see from Sin Lek showroom (tiles lay horizontally)

This is wat we get (tiles lay vertically)

though it is nothing wrong at all, we still feel tat horizontally looked a lot nicer....maybe its e lighting at the showhse.

not possible to ask them to redo lor. we shd hv told them exactly wat we wan instead of jus assuming.....

but seriously, they have been doing the toilet for 3 days and yet still not complete....a but slow right? jus 1 toilet lor...

$13k is consider reasonably cheap lah, but i do wish we have more budget and we would be able to do a major overhaul with Ah Soon's capability haha. anyway ur hse is really nicely done with jus ard $20k. So good!

well, the condition looks ok on the outside lor, when we inspect thoroughly....a lot of things r actually old and rusty or broken. needs $$$ to fixed them up also hai~ never been this broke before.

mm ashes.. it is true that the lighting in the showroom made it look better but why don't you ask it to be changed? today is the only day you can ask for it to be changed already.

I was told that the tiles must be left to set a while which is why it appears that the person tiles until *going to finish* but leaves it alone for a few days... Mine was just like yours.. the top and bottom was not placed for a few days ... then finally they placed it and put grouting. At first I though it was becos they didn't order enough then I was reminded that ceramic tiles might "expand" and need some time to set. :dunno:

Ur white tiles look like those I used in my kitchen! :P The tiles still look good placed either way. But agree with pinkpetter, if wana change, faster ask. :)
