how is the touching up in ur place going?

went down jz now to our place..they are doing some touch ups to the cabinets in WIW n study.. but can see a lot of other finer details ard the house that need to be touched up. ceiling beams from hdb are not straight one lor.. irritating..

was thinking wud want them to do the touch ups even b4 HO cos hard to fix timing after that.. pretty sure they have a lot of other jobs to rush also cos year end. so since the contractors are there might as well do it hor..

was there wif my floor laminate guy jz now.. he quite helpful leh.. he became our freelance QC guy to see wat else can get ID to touch up on. cos he has some background in reno. told him after reno get him to come see n help us chk out wat else we cud have missed out on.. he say ok leh.. haha..

Hi Butterfingerzz, may I know how is your ID and the workmanship as I am still searching for ID / contractor.

anyone know where i can find those mesh type high back office chairs n price reasonable also.. ? wanna get for my study..

Not sure if I get you correct but I bought one such chair from Vhive about 3 years ago. The brand is LG and the back rest can bend backward. Even when I rest my legs on the study table the chair is still stable. It is also very comfortable. The only thing is it cost me $495.

A few weeks ago I saw a somewhat similar chair in a shop (Comfort Furniture) located at the link between furniture mall and Park Royal Hotel at Beach Road. See my signature. As I was in a hurry then, I did not check the stability of the chair but the price is less than $300. You can take a look at their products on their website.

hi pisces_land.. r u a pisces? cos im a pisces too...

anyways.. main reason we chose an ID and her as our ID is cos we travel a lot so wont be able to keep an eye on contractors ourselves so need someone responsible. she came highly recommended from a few of hubby's frens who used her as ID b4.. her ID company is not cheap though..

but so far she has been quite good. have had no sleepless nites as yet. her ID company does carpentry in-house so carpentry she said she can 'pau' good work wor.. so far so good as can see from photos. jz minor touch ups here n there which is quite usual i think..

we started hacking on the 12th nov n we have been to the house abt 6 times only but everything seems to be on track, she told us HO might be a few days late than scheduled but we expected it. hopefully can get by christmas.. PM me if u need her contact and good luck in your search..
