Hehe, call to check loh. Or just pop over after work to take a look? I feel that if the ID said today, he should start work today. And it's up to him to chase payment. Where got clients chase after ID wanting to pay one rite? Wah~ Start work 50% and then another 45% next week? That seems quite alot leh. I tink mine was start work 10%, laying tiles 40%, carpentry 40%, end of reno 10%. But I rem we just gave 50% one lump sum for first payment, cuz by the time we pay, already hack fin liao. Yah, feel that it's better to hold back slightly more. It's more secure and can minus from there if there are rectifications, etc. 20ft top and bottom? or 20ft top and 20ft bottom? hehe, did ur bargain for more stuff to be thrown in? I like chimney design leh, tink it's more modern. But minus point is that will lose cabinet space lar. hehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
