Day 19 (Saturday) - songcho delivery & onsite solar film measurement, zero reno activities

Completed stuff since last visit

1. Veneer doors installation

2. Downlights installation

3. Living/mbr/rooms light installation

4. Kitchen pipe boxup

5. Common bathroom doorframe resize (smaller to fit sliding door design)

Today

Songcho delivery on time - :good:

jestac (3m at 10am) & windowcool (llumar at 12:30pm) salesman/girl arrive on time - :good: , so awaiting their quotation next week. Wanna to do reflective film but understand that hdb doesnt allow, but windowcool salesman mentioned no problem ... should I take the risk ? The thing is reflective is just adding 20cent plus block heat better.

Since stupidly wait for them to come & nothing to do :dunno: ... took some photo below

How much did your contractor charge you for boxing up the pipes in the service balcony?

My carpenter quoted me $900 for boxing up pipes in my service balcony and 2 toilets :bangwall:

Hi Strawberry

mine kitchen boxup is FOC ;) But common bathroom is $450 ... bathroom should be more expensive as it have to be waterproof. Seriously my pricing is a bit high but since ID give & take in a lot of stuff, I find the price ok, also kitchen based is FOC also.

Of course, they had earn a lot already, all this is just small thingy to them. Important is the quality & workmanship have to be acceptable plus complete in time.

Day 20 (Sunday) - jb curtain maker on-site plus surprise

Arrange meetup with a jb freelane curtain maker (got the contact from renotalk) at new flat. Not going to reveal who he is 'cos had not seen result yet. Wish me luck ... not very cheap, quote me for $1250 (wf manage to get $50 discount) for full blackout with day/night for all rooms, normal day/night for living room. Est delivery within 2 weeks & good thing is no deposit needed & pay upon completion only. Then wf kaypoh mentioned what if we dont wanna to pay upon delivery ... while he was thinking, quickly switch to other topic :dancingqueen:

Nice & young chap ... appointment at 2pm but arrive at 3pm ... :( anyway, he called me around 2:30pm when arrived at woodland.

Surprise surprise ... when we enter our flat the whole place was clean & shiny :thumbs up: .Look like just been washed this morning

hi lilith

yup 2 coats, that my ID standard. i believe diff ID/contractor have their own standard. Sealant, I think dont have. I was there when they did it, they just paint the color on the wall. Frankly, my 1st coat is not nippon, some cheapo paint called maxlite. Didnt do plastering since ID mentioned he can do patch up for those obvious area for me. Will remind him again 'cos wf n me saw certain area especially around the lighting.

anyway, my bro-in-law who did commercial plastering, mentioned no matter how good the plastering (used net, plaster n polish etc ) done, few months down the road, u will definitely see some hair line crack. maybe b'cos hdb nowaday build flat in "lego" style.

hope this help, sorry not so expert in this area :unsure:

hey db, thanks for the info..since you didn't plaster, then i think no need sealant..

this maxlite cheapo paint, i think it's common for painters to use this as their first coat right?
