gantan88 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2010 how much did you buy that tap for? i got something similar for $9 from IMM's Asia Excel. i think it's quite odd for your plumber to fix his own tap for you... i guess he didn't ask you where's the w/m tap... think you should ask him to replace the tap. or you DIY it. remember to turn off the water before replacing rather a waste for you to keep your tap unused since you already bought it. those 4 holes look like screw holes. maybe you need to use screws to secure it. i dunno, my w/m pipe can be screwed directly into my w/m tap. I got it at $7 at Summer... Ya, i will ask the plumber to replace it... But still there is no way for the pipe/hose to attach to the tap securely, except to force it in... I think i may have accidentlally throw one part away when moving house... oh..... think have to get a new hose.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gantan88 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2010 Today's work: Morning, eleectrician came and fix up the power point at the kitchen cabinet. His job is done after this. I asked him to help me fix up my clothes ceiling mount hook at the kitchen. After he left, everyone come almost at the same time. Plumber to fix up the kitchen sink and tap. They left. I forget to tell them toliet tap is leaking. Kitchen sink mounted abit slanted.... Painter came to finish up the remaining works.. now still doing.... Plastering guy came and saw away part of the ceiling partition for my kitchen entrance and put the woods (needed as a support for mounting my glass door track). They previously add the wood at the wrong place. Also discuss about the partition which which was done at wrong dimension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kitchen sink slanted.. means, u sort of like put the sink on the hole (top mount), then u rotate it. So it is slanted on the x-axis, not the y-axis. Yes it is odourless, but i still smell something, and it makes me nauseous. Dunno why.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gantan88 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2010 I just found out that my contractor went to Thailand. Never inform me also. My kitchen entrance partition wall and glass door dimension doesnt match, he also not aware, lucky i go and take measurement then i realise. Then from the sales guy i know that he is quitting the company. WTF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gantan88 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2010 I just came to learnt that the person monitoring my site work is dismissed from the company. Maybe that is y he has gone to Thailand. My partition wall and glass door confirm after CNY then do. My guess is he screwed up big time, not just my house, but other people houses as well. I am lucky as my impact to CNY is considered minimal. But it has been coming 2.5 months since my reno started work. And it is is only a 3 room. If i hasn't make noise along the way... i guess i can't even move in on time.... must sleep void deck already. Updated my signature... my contractor company. Anyone same company as me?

gantan88 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 if DIY like me, won't be 20k 15k enough i didn't notice any glassworks in your house Oh yes, i miss out the kitchen entrance partition wall and sliding glass door also. But this have to be done after CNY. Cos when they come to install the glass door, they realise that there is no wood support inside the partition wall to support the glass door track. So they left the glass in my house and left. After work i got home curse and swear becoz only 1 week away from CNY. Then i took the chance to measure the width of the glass door and the partition wall. Difference of 8 inches (sticking out from the doorway from each side - i know they did it wrongly, highlight to them - they say too late. CNY - all workers left. WTF...

Just an update, i got the w/m tap and hose problem solved. Go hardware shop buy the connector to fit it in. No need buy the whole hose... End result looks similar to yours. With the new connector, just screw it into the tap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
