Anyhow Reno

Recommended Posts

I forgot to take photos when they were waterproofing kitchen and laying tiles there so I have to jump to day 18 when the cement floor in our hall is done. But the results were bad. Apparently, you need some one with good experience to do such job.

It has very dirty look, water mark... Contractor polished it and it looks much better now.

I see... Looks quite decent to me... But I hope you know that cracks will form overtime...

Yes, I understand that. I intend to paint or laminate wood later if we really can't tolerate it. Now, we are trying to endure the powdery feel.

If u lay laminate flooring later, it will create a different in floor height where the laminated flooring ends right? How to mitigate that ah?

That is just a thought, may not be doing that. Hopefully it can last for several years from now.

Oh ok... Cos I had the same tot too... When the cracks get too unsightly, or when I get tired of it, I may wanna lay vinyl over it... But this point abt the difference in height remains a doubt to me... Shall ask my contractor when I do shortlist one :)

Cool, may be you can share with me the results when you decide to do that. I do notise the difference in height but maybe the contractor can level it later should I decide to laminate wood/vinyl or paint or even lay tiles on it. Another thing to worry is that it will be higher than the room floor.

Hi PTopaz,

Definitely try to level the floor as much as possible. I have a tiny regret of not doing that in order to save cost.

After laying HERF, ended up with slightly uneven portions I can feel when walking on - particularly kitchen area.

Actually it's very minor because most of people who walk in my place can't tell. Only when I point it out to them.

So it's more of my own obsession. Heh
