if during the installation of the water pipes and accessories there's some minor cracks in the tile, do you normally ask them to replace the tile and mount again or close one eye?

they crack my tile but my tiler repaired it, i complain to the supervisor, no response yet. but then again, i haven't paid in full so maybe can ask for discount

icic... will keep that in mind. thanks

gaincity quite ONZ when people complain... the sales said, if we complain, the installers will risk not being paid...someting like tt..

mine experience also not too good either...

but, close one eye...

Good. I feedback to them abt my aircon slanted and they say it could be that my beam is slanted, not the aircon, so they will schedule the technician to go down on saturday to see again.

I will ask them to make good the damage, then see what they proposed. But it is best that the tiler and plumber are all from your Contractor under the same contract so they do everything nice nice for you...

yah, of course they'll say the beam slanted. push blame away

what you can do is get a water level ruler, and check your beam if it is straight or not. then you check the aircon. then you check the floor. see for yourself what is the truth

lights are up, electrical works 80% done, window grilles are up, all the doors are up, new gate is up, carpentry completed awaiting granite top. next week will be laminate flooring and wardrobe from closet design.

altar and shoe cabinet

kitchen cabinet

some defects with the carpentry, will let me contractor know. but overall quite pleased with the workmanship.

realised I forgot to tell my contractor 1 thing, which is the store room door. all along wanted to open outwards but forgot to tell him and make sure. now the door is opening inwards. hopefully still can do something about it. going to affect partition, floor tiles and hopefully don't damage the new door frame.

another problem, my kitchen sink tap cannot be fixed in the middle (no more space) have to fix on either side. i feel still usable but not as ideal as in the centre. any comments?

Hi Alamak,

Ya, to me it is fine, because if the tap is right in the centre it makes washing your big utensils like wok very troublesome. u need to always swing the tap one side to wash big item. ..

This is good position. Mine also right side corner.

For me, the distance from the tap (measured from the back of the tap) to the tap nozzle is about 9cm (into the sink area) if i dun remember wrongly.

My sink is about 55cm in width (left to right measurement).

thanks all for the feedback and comments. decided to stick to original plan.

have another matter which I need some comments on. it's regarding the store room door and mbr door.

contractor is still finding way to change the store room door facing.

but i am still undecided on which direction the door should open to. here are my 2 options (storeroom on the left, mbr on the right)

Option 1 - store room door open towards living room.

Pro - storeroom and mbr door knob on the same side, looks nicer.

Con - moving big items in and out of storeroom will be troublesome as the storeroom door will block the passageway entrance

Option 2 - store room door open away from living room

Pro - Easy to move items in and out.

Con - Door knob will be on opposite side of mbr room door. Might look weird.

Hope you all get what i mean. Any comments? Thanks.

In my opinion, option 2 is better.Need to think in a practical way. Placement of knobs - will get used to it in the long run.

If not measure the biggest width u can have and think potentially wat are the big items that u could hace? If just normal boxes then ok.

Why not have a roller shutter for your storeroom instead of a door? That way you wont have to worry about which side it swings open.

Its just a crazy idea that came to my mind.

option 2. more practical. you won't notice the door knobs after some time.

thanks all for the opinions. i also am more keen on option 2.
