My hubbly just whatapps me that based on your requirements, he did a calculation and it's still $4k if we were to use the two quotes we forwarded to u... So not much difference leh... Think u ask your contractor to give u 20 % discount?

alamak... my eyes got stamps on didn't see your electrical list... LOL...

FYI, my electrician told us that it's better to get the ceiling fan shop to include installation instead of asking electrician to do. cos those pple do ceiling fan installation day in day out so better in doing balancing, but electricians don't do as often so skill wise maybe not as good~

Maybe he's also fan of yours too? No lah... he's the type who feels that it's better to use the electrician whom the contractor recommended if the charges is + or - 10%. Wait contractor point finger at the elctrician and electrician point back at contractor...additional stress for us as owners.... so he kaypo and did a calculation and whatapps me to inform u that yours also quite reasonable lah..

if you are not comfortable with that electrician, how about asking your contractor to intro another one? usually they have contacts of a few electricians~

how did the tile get cracked?

froggy, my volunteer is related to my church. but if you want to start somewhere, you can contact any charity organisation you like to find out about their volunteer works. Its all depending on what type you are looking for... to help disabled, the deaf and mute, the elderly, the AIDS patients, children of convicts, etc etc.....

Ely, i think i am very meticulous with selecting everything.... hehehehe.... even my tiles also took me 3 trips, remember?

maybe i do it the slowly way? photoshop might be done faster? hahaha... show us the pic of your wardrobe meh....

my electrical quote is abt $4k which i think its a bit too high....

i will go over tmr to have a look to see any progress since friday night or not.

My electrician is below 3k for the entire place - 20 PLC lights, 3 halogen, abt 30 electricial points, track lights, (plus constant changes and additions), 20 T5 lights, installation of all lamps, switches. He's extremely easy to work with - he just says "okay, can" whenever I change my mind. It's quite funny really. Or else, they suggest how to group certain lights together when I'd completely forgotten about dimmers and didn't want to hack any more holes into the walls. They're extremely efficient too - they actually "found" wires that was otherwise concealed and for the points I thought I couldn't have, he'd tell me "oh, done already". Really a breeze to work with them, so I'm very grateful.

Here's my wardrobe configuration, minus the U-shaped shoe wardrobe - so effectively, I get only 5 doors *sniff*, The Husband gets 2, and the common bedroom another 2 doors (1800mm):
