Tomorrow I meet jesslyn, I will bring EDL laminate and the price for each laminate let u see, then u can judge by yourself is it expensive not. And btw, all are using Solid plywood. Am very very very certain on carpentry done in JB or malaysia is much cheaper than those carpenter factories in singapore. eg. $100pfr and RM100pfr doing the same thing.

he says the laminates i chose, cost $50- $60+

all very expensive ones..

i am afraid if i offer a lower than 40% price to him, he will not be happy n do a BAD job for me..

so many worries..!!

agree wif u... price of labour here n sg n msia is certainly HUGE

Actually last time when Blue diamond is undecisive to engage which contractor,he approach me,and email me Uncle soon quotation!Its really cheap!!But being in a contractor firm,i know the cheap way to do renovation by cutting cost.

I always believe if u pay peanut,u get peanut.I wonder how he make profit untill one day i went to see Aubrey place.

I also wonder how he can quote so cheap till today....carpentry from JB, of course is cheap la.

seashell, work out a win win situation with the carpenter...he keeps those items in his factory also mean total losses...else as what I suggest to you in ah soon blog...buy cheap ready made funiture and move in first...then continue to chase after that Ah soon until he settle the carpentry work for you...

All other wet work, electrical work must quickly settle before moving in as they can be rather messy but for carpentry work...can be done even if you already move in...

hope you seriously consider and I sincerely do not wish to see you and the rest of the sooner got into depression... :(

Common toilet full height shower screen (top & bottom view)

ctoiletfullss.jpgctoiletssbottom.jpg

Common toilet - TOP TRACK 2 PANELS bi-fold door (One of my favourite!) -- specially custom made!! $388

the common ones are 4 small panels but i got it custom made with only 2 panels! the trick is, the aluminium frame got to be thicker in order to support only 2 panels else it will drop easily... the frame is very sturdy and strong! thumbs up! much better than PD door!!

the material inside the aluminimum frame is made of 'Lami-glass' that is so called the safety glass!
