gaku70 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 *pat pat* so long as they can do a proper job, it'll be ok. So how's the things been? I actually did a weekly progress so that I can spend time doing other things too. Asked Jason on the progress for my place and what I can expect to see end of the week. Hopefully this helps. I would prefer if there is any changes in contractor, Jason can let me know. If not, I will be talking to the wrong guy. I have been talking to Ah Liu and only today know about the change when i called Jason. Things are not that smooth as always. I only managed to inspect in daylight on the weekend. For weekday by the time I reach I can only inspect with a torchlight. Some of the hiccups were like: One of my pipes which was supposed to use cabinet was fully boxed up. So I have to ask them to tear down. Missing electrical lights in bathroom. Light point not at the correct location. Electrical point and scv location at the middle of wall. (I prefer side) Now I perfer to talk to the 3rd party directly to prevent any hiccups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaku70 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 Ok, confirmed shifting to rented flat this weekend. Anyone know where I can get boxes for shifting? Not getting movers as shifting to a unit in the same block, so no free boxes from them. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaku70 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2009 Got a question regarding the acid wash. Is it done after the carpentry is up. If it is, then will the acid damage the carpentry especially if it comes into contact with the acid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is, then will the acid damage the carpentry especially if it comes into contact with the acid. If I'm not wrong, it is after most works done and before HO. I also need to check as some of my tiles cannot be acid washed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that is the case, then there are chances that the carpentry will be damaged by the acid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok nearly forgot to buy a trolley, maybe those plastic type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
