yah yesterday uncle was really caught up with some workers issue. probably that's why he can't make it.

Where's your flat? I can help you ask him when I next see him. I think most of the owners who engaged him go thru the stage of chasing him for quotations. He usually takes a while to come out with the quote cos he can't read or write english, thus he will write it in chinese and he is dependent on his son to translate his chinese to english quote. If you are comfortable with hand written chinese quote u can let him know. There is only 1 uncle ah soon to draft the quotes, that's why he needs longer lead time. However once reno starts, he'll give priority to those project already started in terms of contactability (if there is such a word ) if yours is urgent, there's another contractor Mr Yeak who is also doing quite a good job. Maybe you can get quotes from both of them to make a comparison on who you are more comfortable with. My reno is going into it's 2nd week. So far no problem contacting uncle. If he miss my call, he'll usually call back. If he don't I'll call him again and usually will be able to reach him. Uncle usually will let potential customers view some of his on-going projects to let these customers sees and feel the workmanship for themselves. U can ask him for the addresses.

i'll wait eagerly to see how it turn out.

wahhh seh!! i tot it is usually the women that scare the men with price tag. yours is the other way round Fondue, your pics are up in facebook le

The overall effect is really nice!!

ohh they are really cute!! very tiny. you really need to look really hard to see them.

I think comments should not be left till the end. It is good to spot problem and mistake earlier so that it is easier to get them rectified. certain works can't be rectified after everything is up. I go up daily to look look see see. but I don't squat down and scrutinize the tiler work. I just have leisure chit chat with them and leave them to do the work. When they need my opinion they will check with me and if I doubt something I will ask them politely.

Today's Progress Tiling works are about 3/4 done. The tilers love the MBR tiles When I went up they are cleaning up and calling it a day and half the team told me that they think the MBR toilet tile looks good. Heng ahhh, seems like it's really worth the top up. Now that the sides are up, the common toilet feature tile is more "digestable" for me now Tilers also say the combi is nice... hmmm are they complimenting the choice of tiles or their own workmanship? Anyway whatever it is, I really like this bunch of tilers. Very friendly and nice and today, they check with me my lighting points and ask me whether i wanna level up my access area. Their opinion is to level up for safety issue so that no one will trip over the step up from the access area to our main entrance. I took their recommendations. But now hor.. after much thought I think I prefer there to be a height difference to differentiate the inside and the outside. Will go over and convey to them personally on Monday.
