Hi Latte,

Hope your rectification is not delayed from the change of contractors. Ya I guess the contractor that doing koikoi's is the new contractor.

I not sure if we are going for the barang sales, already got the things we wanted to get from there unless going to see the home accessories. Are you going?

The suggestion for having lights behind the mirror sounds good especially with soft yellow lights, then will have a cosy feeling in the toilet. I'll be doing a lightbox above the mirror, like that will be brighter when look into the mirror. Hahaha!! especially for doing makeup lah :~

Heard from my ID that tiling already completed. Next Mon and Tues they will be changing all the pipings and installing my toilets stuffs. Wed to Fri will be painting, aircon installation and lightings. We will also be at our house on Sat late morning, cos the toiletbowls and basin gonna deliver to us at ard 10.30-11am. Can drop by if you are there ya :dancingqueen:

Me too!! Add things, remove things... remove things is for sacrificing, making buffer in order got budget to add things! haha...

my renovation started this morning!! ID called me to update me... he was at my house with his workers, briefing them what to expect coming up. his tiler spotted the balcony cement screed floor is kind of hollow and so he quickly suggest me to declare as defects, and instruct h*b to hack it away, ID will cement it back for me. this way can be very sure the foundation is not hollow, the tiles will not pop. today received 2nd version of contract ffom ID, incl all the additional works/deletion of works/electrical works etc, am glad everything is put into black and white, no conflict. still managed to keep reno cost below $30K :bangwall: . phew!!

we also trying to keep below 30K so we remove mostly those items that are of "decorative purpose". :unsure:

ohhh... we never check our balcony floor if it's hollow. we did saw some cracks on the floor but was told that it's ok so we never bother about it. :dancingqueen:

the way i see the floor it looks ok too.

since the tiler worker said its hollow, i dare not doubt his specialization knowledge... maybe he got knock knock and know it by hearing?? dunno lah, anyway i called h*b contractor... and expect another round of nightmare which i have to chase them to do... they still have to get approval from T.O mah. sianz.

i managed to keep some 'decorative purpose' items... but not all lah. my renovation experience should be very pleasant if i can take away h*b contractors/T.O presence... gets on my nerves.
