Hi all, I have half wall tiles for my kitchen and toilets. Don't intend to overlay or add other half as it costs quite a bit. Was wondering if spray paint can help tocover up some of the stained tiles.. Or maybe wall decals? Anyone who has any suggestions??

Yes I guess you are right about hdb workmanship. Just wondering if anyone got over this problem. Seems like many people just choose to live with it! I have a wall in my hall too that dips all thanks to hdb

I did plaster the ceiling actually. Carpenter was saying walls are not even. That's y there is an uneven gap between suspended cabinet and ceiling. Is yours also obvious?

Hi all, Recently completed the kitchen cabinet for my 27 year old house. My house is on the highest floor. We noticed the gap between suspended cabinet and ceiling is not even. Carpenter says it's a flaw with the wall. Need second opinion. Only suggested false ceiling to correct the problem. Anyone here who has contact number of carpenter or also had similar experience? Pls help!

Hi, can i get mr ong's contact? thank you in advance. email to greenwood.reena@gmail.com or drop me a pm. thanks!

yes. the contractor didnt specify on price psf. I find the cupboards also rather pricey since there is no price psf also. shd i get a carpenter to do it instead? if separate then get tiling done first then cupboard? or else sure got gaps yea?

Yes pls pm if possible too. Would really appreciate the help. Wendy
