summer, I haven't seen any ants yet...no insect infestation for now. *fingers X*

However, I read from other forums that there are spiders, ants infestation at other parts of JW.

Have you tried buying the "ants" killer cube that are sold in most provision shops? I heard they are quite effective loh.

*using my hubby's acct to reply you* - din know that it's his logon

Summer, if you think yours is big...then mine is ......?

Really a pain to do the house cleaning..never ending loh. Im a clean freak...my hubby also bo bian me. He tries to sweep and mop the floor for me while I clean up on other areas. The entire block and other blocks nearby are still undergoing renovation...so we reckon it would take another 1-2years before our house can be really "clean".

Even my neighbours also gave up on cleaning their houses.

My wallpaper and more furniture are coming in tomorrow. I delay taking pics cos wanna wait for more stuffs to move in before showing you the changes mah. Im going to nail some painting and craftswork bought from Bali onto the walls too. Bear with me k.

Hey summer..Im back finally. My contractor will be bringing a forumer (who I know) to visit my house. Think my hous will be a show flat for his potential clients soon liew. Good time to get his advise on some maintenance issue. Else it's so hard to get him to come visit me. Hahaha.

HB & I might break up our guests into groups for housewarming. Not very nice to leave them in "lurch" when groups dun know/mix with others. Then we cant produce quality time with them too. Think only relatives can combine into a big party for housewarming loh.

Hey Bali is such a nice place to go...pity that I missed my flight on the first night then only got to hop onto the next earliest flight on the following day's evening. Wasted one day and night manz. We are blur freaks. Nonetheless, we had an enjoyable time there.

Hey summer..it's really very tiring. Currently, it's more like a weekend stay at my own house loh. Weekdays staying at my parent's house first.

Just went home to move some of our barangs in. Then saw one thick layer of dust collecting there when our doors and windows are shut (not tightly though cos want some ventilation). I cleaned up abit loh, not floors. My neighbour opposite still renovating theirs. More or less will get our house dirtied loh. One week never go back house for sleeping and there we saw..DUST!!

Really can break our bones for cleaning such a big house..hehe..

Im leaving for my honeymoon shortly liew. Catching the evening flight loh...to Bali. Hee..

My wall papers are going to be pasted next weekend. Divider, end table, ottoman and study tables also coming in next Sat. See if I can take some pics after more furniture are in.

Mai gan jiong k. :( How hv you been? When is the house warming going to be held leh? I plan to hold it preferably during Xmas period or near New Year loh. Plan only ah...still need to consider whether house can be visited any time or not loh. Hah.

My contractor has more or less settled with the rectification works. Shall monitor them a while longer after our return from honeymoon.

They seriously need tonnes of bugging and calls. Good thing is...though they are slow but still get things done. Some nasty contractors cheat client's $$ and run. So mean!

We haven't paid in full..only 50%. Must hold on to our payment till we are satisfied to pay. The reno has completed. However, this Mr Tan also dun bother to chase us for payment....I rem I even needed to call him to make my deposit. How silly. Haha..

I am sure ALL id/contractors are not 100% good.

Maybe can say 90% good (that will be good enough)

Sure there are some problems here and there.

And partly due to the luck lah.

If lucky have a good id/contractors, then count yourself extremely lucky pple.

Had made my official move last night. The utmost outrage with Mr Tan will be letting him to do the paint works. Had regretted it now.

Forever, taking his sweet time to finish the painting. It's one month now and still not done.

Shall not recommend to those who's keen to engage him to paint your house.

Hi iltheas,

Saw the pics posted by you. They seem really bad. Hopefully, Mr Tan can do something to them soon. Wont feel comfortable staying with the house seeing those defects around eh.

Guess I would consider myself lucky to have Mr Tan treating less badly as you. I have began to complain him lately cos of the painting and carpentry and tiling works. Those were only for touch-ups. He really sent his team of ppl to my house, hubby was there and I visited the house after work. Saw the carpenter and painter around doing the recitifcations. The carpenter & tiler have finished the touch up work and guess left only the painter job. Will be there today to supervise again.

We were already told that Mr Tan will leave the supervision job to his foremen shortly after the sign up. We trusted his team of workers and luckily that they did a good job still. Of course, not talking about the sub-con painters.

Sincerely hope that our rectifications can be done asap.

Hi, not too sure if this post is kinda late, I just joined this forum in Sep.

My mum's hse was done up by Mr Tan ard 8 yrs ago. I think he's workmanship @ tt time isn't too good. By the 2nd year, the varnish on the wooden cupboards were already peeling.... And the aircon was installed at the wrong angle, causing it to leak very often (this is what the various aircon servicemen have told me)

I sure hope after 8 yrs their work is much better...

hi zanie98. to be honest, if you were to post earlier, i think we would still have signed up with mr tan. see, he came across as a nice uncle type, who convinced us that he will monitor every 2 days or so. we asked a straight question, will he supervise? he said, yes, he will, every 2 days or so.

we were looking for a hands-on contractor who will supervise his workers. and instead, we got a salesman. he never come to our place. well, he does, but i have to call him every single day to make him come once. i think in total, he only came to our place less than 5 times.
