mudster 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2007 ivory.. mudster.. cove light is nice.. n it create a nice ambience... but come to think of the lizards.. when changing the bulbs turn me off!! but really like the idea of cove lights.. ur haulage fee like very ex... do they charge by kg?? ....I too hate lizards. But will ask K anyway...scr*w the lizards..Mr K actually bargained the haulage fee for us. The H*B appointed contractor quoted $1200 first. It seems the sand price has risen and thus a rise in haulage(cement) fees. Does that make sense? I actually called H*B. H*B mentioned that haulage fee is fixed at $238.50...but the price of sand/cement can vary and that depends on our contractor or the supplier of the cement(which in this case Mr K says is the h*B appointed contractor who is also doing the haulage). Hopefully, they both don 'pakat'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahhblur...actually nothing to check. H*B will repeat the same thing. The actual thing is, we trust Mr K. That's the reason why we chose him. But anyways will clarify with Mr K tom. He is quite frank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Relacker 1 Report post Posted March 31, 2007 Hey everybody! Wow quite a bit of conversation going on here huh? Nice to have you ppl around!Yup apparently he hasnt had gd exp with clients ard the area. He was telling us abt hw unreasonable they were. My sympathies with dear K. Some times clients can be overly demanding and unreasonable too.Good news - Wiring and ceiling work's done! Today K met the haulage people and paid em so tonight the haulage ppl wld have uploaded all the materials e.g. sand, etc. In other words, tiling work begins tomoro!! K said it'll take abt a week to complete Hey Relacker, thanks for popping by. We did try to check for problems ard the place and we didnt try very hard and yet we came up with tt long list. Not to worry too much, as long as you are comfortable, u need not report every single problem. Sometimes, instead of improving things, they might worsen it!Anyway, when we collected our keys, we were told to submit the list within 7 days or at least b4 the reno starts. So do it soon cos HDB usually takes at least a month to complete rectification work. All the best!Hi ivory, today went down with electrician and we saw the ceilling got a fine crack in livin room and also i find the pipes in toilet leaking.We will submit up the form this week. But afraid it will delay our reno. can we go ahead with the kitchen 1st since the problem is with living room? or have to wait til HDB is repair??? anyway we design our own kitchen cabinet.

I guess it's an accepted norm to hand over ur home to HDB for the 1st month after u've collected ur keys. It would be better that way, take it step by step. Once they're done, then your contractor can come into play. You won't want unnecessary conflicts. I hope tt helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
