Officially 9days but you have been spending lots of time there even before officially move in. :)

3) A bit long winded so you must be patient to listen to him as well

hahaha my hubby observed that somehow, pple in this line seem quite long-winded - from contractor to sub-contractors... even down to the guy selling bathroom stuff~ :lol:

4) Trustworthy - but this is a 2-way thing. If you trust him, he will deliver but if you always suspect and question him, how he will be able to do his job well?

sis you have said something that i always thought so but failed to put it properly in words :P reasonable doubts and questions are necessary, but i noticed many that are always suspicious over the contractors (e.g. is he going to makan me? is this too expensive? is he trying to smoke me? am i being short-changed?... the list goes on). in this kind of situation, the house owner usually won't trust any explanations given by the contractor and things can go a downward spiral..............

anyway, didn't realise it's a month already! time flies! mine is coming closed to one year too... can't believe it! :o

1 year and your wedding photo haven't put up on wall?? Haha.... Miss marshy, faster put lah.... Then simon can take photo for u.

i was planning on installing a wall fan for the WC area actually, so that we wont be so hot when doing our big biz... hahaha i always blow my standing floor fan towards bathroom in my current home. Wonder if that will be good enough to dry the bathroom then? Is that even allowed in HDB bathrooms?

I would check with PUB/HDB. We were told a shaver socket is not allowed, even though you can in condos and hotels.

A window fan (i.e. a glass window with a fan in the center) may be allowed but not sure about wall fans. The issue is not about loading on the circuit but about issues of electrocution especially in a very damp environment.
