Oh dear oh dear...just curious, did u source seperately for the electrician? I thought usually they will put it all in a package if engage a contractor. *hugs*! don't worry! Think this is part of the journey, once its over, just enjoy the outcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, electrical rewiring is quite standard. There is a way of working out the sum. I use to have the standard form from my ID.... Consisting of unit cost of things like number of lighting points, power sockets (single/double) heater, tel sockets, SCV or TV points, DB etc.... How did it work out to 7k?

And so we calles both new electrician Mr A and Hubby friend Mr K.. Mr A quoted $6300.. like $200 cheaper than the first.. but still..

salseraritz 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Always wanted a fridge with an auto ice maker but Due to our tight budget... we r getting a stainless steel Made in Korea side by side fridge by Samsung... Got our fridge and washer/dryer from Mega Discount Store... was served by a very helpful salesman Allan.. no hard selling and gave advise.. well.. i took quite sometime to decide on the fridge that I want... lol!Mr Hubby don't like the idea of having washer n dryer.. therefore i chose Samsung 8kg washer cum 5kg dryer.. was so attracted with the air wash function .. dry cleaning like function... washer/dryer specs ... diamond drum..direct drive inverter... eco bubble technology..
