fencer 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2010 21 days into Big Reno, wiring for my rooms, kictchen, toilets, false ceiling and L-Box is up. No switches yet until painting is done. 26 days, fixed piping for aircons. 27 days, stainless steel piping is up and running all except washing basin in kitchen. 29 days, did some small rectifications to small dripping of pipes. CityGas came to lay pipes for use of government gas. Meet Carpenter for final designs of kictchen cabinet and master bedroom cupboards and dressing table. Henry came also to list what needs to be rectified before false ceiling and L-Box goes up. Things to be fixed included fridge and washing machines base. Next week, would start those small rectifications and setting up for false ceiling and L-Box. After which would be painting of whole house. all these estimates 10 working days, as announced by Henry.

bangbang 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2010 Wanted to start my R-T blog when reno starts but suay suay was in reservist for the 1st 2 weeks of March. Anyway, better late then never. Ha.. Started to look around for contractor in Dec 2009. Shortlisted a couple of IDs and got a few quotations. Since planning to overhaul the whole unit, all the quotations are busting my budget. One day, happen to chanced upon Superimon27 R-T blog. After visiting his contractor's office in woodlands and getting a quotation, decided on Henry from ID Note coz is stil within my budget. ( Thanks to Superimon27 recommendation!!)

Adding on, 10 days later, all the lights + fan would be fixed up. Kicthen cabinates and master bedroom cupboards would start installing. So say by end of the 3rd week of April, should be finished and just left intense inspection for anything to rectify loh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fencer 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2010 Although i have seperated the toiletries by placing them in the master bedroom and **** room, the guys who fixed the piping still manage to set up wrongly. Why? Only reason is... On the 1st day, they fixed everything with pipes only.. e.g toilet bowl, sinks, tapes, heater. After which they consolidated everything together into a single pile. Good effort to clean the place.. And then, next day is "what u see 1st, fix it up". Sigh!!!.. Mirrors can be changed coz using the same type of hooks. But the glass shelves and toilet paper holder.... Advice to all: 1) Label every single items clearly. Draw, label and use any other method you can think of. 2) Go down and see every few days, irregardless is trusty contractor or world renowned ID. These would save alot of your time to rectify things and argument on who's at fault. And most importantly save time and $$$$$.. If in doubt, ASK and Question! Not 100% Sure, ASK and Question!

fencer 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2010 Just went over to have a look.. L-box and false ceiling is up... Looks nice, hid all the wires on the ceilings of Living/Dining area.. Ha.. Next should be hacking away the main door and put up the wooden frame + temporary door. Hmm.. if i rem correctly, henry mentioned that the window grills would be up before painting. Which likely be next week. Lights, cooker hob/hood is set to deliver on 15 April. By then painting should be finshed and dry up loh.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, leave it lah.. i can leave it with it but it is stil a mistake of the guys who did the pipings. Change also makes the tilers more troublesome and waste $$ and time hacking tiles. Henry's a nice person but he's too busy. That's why i keep going down a few days to check everything so as to save time and effort.. for mysef mainly.. Hahah.. Anything wrong i call or msg him so can be reactified early. But the toiletries bo bian loh.. Coz i told the piping guy myself mah.. Regards, Roland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
