elane1311 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 J&G i really can understand how pissed you were. Am not trying to add fuel to fire but bangalas have no common sense. They simply follow instructions and do even if it's wrong. The supervisor gonna play a part and i think you should not ask them to waive the $80! just tell them it's not even enough to cover your salary for the day!

JandG 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Chpt 6 : Wood within the wood the prettiest part for the home for me, is probably the solid wood flooring. it really gives the luxe feel due to its thick heavy texture that i absolutely adore. these are thick strips of solid white oak timber. not parquet strips. wood actually looks and feels better and better when seasoned. my ID didnt coordinate this as the contractor is a friend. unfortunately, they no longer do local sales. only direct imports to USA and Europe now. This is their corporate site below the headache part here was arranging the screeding. if u recall, town council is the one arranging the screeding. we made an appt with them the very day we took keys. and they stood us up for 3 times! this was a major part of the delay in my home as no flooring means no carpentry, no painting, no ceiling works. by the 3rd time hubby was so mad that the town council lady came personally to our doorstep to apologise. 1st time what screeder forgot, 2nd time screeder sick, 3rd time dunno what. gahmen sweet gahmen this is how the wood (water resist plywood base used to build ships hulls + solid timber) sits on the screed markersportion of flooring, showing depth of wood Edited July 1, 2010 by JandG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
