The whole week nothing is done except Saturday the electrician came over to lay the base of the conduit. ID are suppose to rectify the issue that i email to him during this whole week, but excuse are he got manpower issue due to Hari Raya and his Malaysia tilers are on leave. I have told him i will delay the 3rd payment until i'm satified with his rectification work. :rolleyes:

Agree with you. It defin adds more flexibility without the false ceilings and cornies.

Having said so, my hse has L-box and cornies in living & dining areas. These are done up by ex-owner and it restricts my electrical work to a great extent :(

Yet it would burst our budget if we to hack everything away and redo. No choice, we just had to make concessions on our wiring layout plan..

I like expose truking so next time i want to troubleshoot/add anything it's easier for me. :D

For me is if i'm going to do false ceiling it will burst my budget also, but luckily i like exposed trunking for easier access. :yamseng: So in the end $$$ restrict what we want to do. :rolleyes:

Some update today. Water pipe is up, but can see is a F**K up workmanship.

Existing water pipe shifted up as request by me, but the electrician go lay the base of electric conduit directly behind the water pipe. This will cause short circuit if there is a leak. Informed the ID to shift the power point location.

Electric conduit was lay before the water pipe and now it look so ugly and water is so close to the electric conduit. Sure won't pass PUB test.

This is the worse thing i see, water pipe for my rain shower is bended i don't think any water can pass through. Feed back to the ID and get him to replace all the bending parts with elbow joint.

Copper piping was replace back when they so call spolit it during hacking when i instruct them to keep the existing copper pipe.

The only carpentry is the kitchen cabinet top and bottom. GST should be included as this is the net price i'm paying.

Hi Reiki, they have rectified the joint by using those elbow joint. Still I'm not happy with the water piping lay out. Just feed back to Id this morning when I met him for discussion.

Hi ejszaka, i'm not very sure. The toilet window is install by my Id and I'm fine with it so I didn't ask about it. Maybe you can check with you Id on this.

Hopefully, all turns well, aegis.

Yup, we are neighbours!

From what I know - yes, you need to get HDB permit to change such to such windows.

My Reno basically came to stand still as the ID is now busy doing rectification. I have been holding back his 3rd payment for 3 weeks and coming to 1 month until they rectify the current issue 1st.

Things that need to rectify which list out by my ID which he email me.

1) tiling in kitchen (water still trap near work stn area)

2) toilet wall tiles (damaged/chipped tiles)

3) grout colours of REPLACED wall tiles not uniform with the rest

4) tiles skirting

5) wall plastering

6) check Utilities Board Conformance standard of distance between water pipes n electrical trunking

7) pipes orientation/layout, need to adjust/replace

DSC01752a.jpg

Kitchen tiles been hacked off to lay new tile again so water will flow to drainage properly.

DSC01754a.jpg

Parts of the wall tile that was damage during the last replacement, now been hacked off.

DSC01756a.jpg

Additional tiles ordered for replacement.

Seem my completion will be delay. :furious:

Don't worry lah. Everything will be smooth smooth after the rectification.

May I check who will pay for the additional tiles for replacements?
