Just A New Home

Recommended Posts

My renovation finally started.... Based on my ID, firstly will do up flooring, then kitchen cabinet, then electrical work and lastly painting of new home...

Due to bad experience from aircon purchase last time from another company, this time round i did some research in renotalk forum and decided to get my air con from Tim Wong who have a thread by himself in another section. So far not much negative feedback, at least i feel slightly safer even though its not the cheapest i found. Was initially pondering whether to get Mitsubishi Heavy Ind. or Panasonic or even Midea since its the cheapest, my family member insisted that I should spend more to get a better aircon (meaning dont get Midea), and also a lot of my friends was recommending Mitsubishi H.I., thus i decided to get MHI System 3. Paid deposit, now waiting to get a date for installation.

Went to Gain City during one of the weekend. Bought a LG Washer/Dryer for 959 and LG Fridge for 849, with freebies for LG Red Hot sales... but both freebies is microwave, with my existing microwave (still in good condition), i will have 3 microwaves in my home... :dunno:

You can try selling them off at a much cheaper pricing.

Some of them did that previously when samsung have free mircowave / vacuum when you purchase TV and etc ...

Bought my Mitsubishi Heavy Industries System 3 aircon from Tim Wong in renotalk. Been calling him during one of the saturday morning til afternoon to book an appointment 2 weeks in advance, but his phone is off. So called his office and one of the guy say he is not around in office, and will get Tim to call me back on monday. But i wait til for 1 week til i remembered that i need to book a date for installation, so tried to call his mobile again, and cannot get through again. Thinking that there is a possibility that i kanna scam since i already paid a deposit :jawdrop: , so i decide to call him on monday. And finally he pick up his phone on monday, he then explained to me that he will go back to Malaysia during weekend, thus he will off his phone. :angry: Nonetheless, i told him i insisted on booking the date i originally wanted since its not my fault that its became so last minute. The office guy who picked up the phone supposed to ask him return call but he didnt inform Tim. Anyway, he finally squeeze my installation into a weekday afternoon since i dont need a 2nd appointment.

Installation in progress......

Installed....

As 2 of the front panel of the aircon is slightly dented, i requested his installer to inform Tim to change for me. He supposed to bring down the panels and get the installer to change for me, but because they got another appointment, they just left me alone to wait for Tim, kinda pissed off a lil bit. When Tim reached, he only brought down 1 panel due to miscommunication with his installer, so he went back to bring the 2nd piece and i wasted another 1 hour. :furious: Well, seeing him rushing here and there to change my panel, i also cant bring myself to angry with him... Workmanship wise still ok la, maybe i just suay, if not it supposed to go smoothly...
