  1. erm, can i lodge a small complain? photos too small!!! but the tiling is looking good!
  2. wahaha... looking at your house, the carpentry should be up pretty soon. and in less than 2 weeks HO?
  3. talk about bai nian...the only ang baos i receive every year is from my MIL lor... then again, u can use those bag and contain the ang baos that you are giving out u need me to being my kids to ur place and bai nian?
  4. i can't sleep cos someone mentioned me here! wahaha... eh BD, yes, i told u PD is very cheerful, even aubrey said so lor. and u are good at chasing ppl for pics! haha... Oh...as for PS hor, I am sure u will make PD laugh de...see, i read your comments I can't help but laugh lor...in train or in office...even in Hubby's car I would blurt out laughing and he thought I siao... Now I try not to log in at nite so that I can spend time with my kids. I spent many hours after work online when my reno is going on...so now, I need to focus back on them
  5. did u call the aircon guys back to rectify the problems? I sounded serious and once trunking is not done properly, u have lotsa issues to take care of next time and it might be cumbersome. for your fan, who installed for u? call uncle and get him to re-do it properly for u, if the person is not competent enough to do the job, get someone else who is able to help settle it. the partition wall, see what joseph says. it will crack if it's not properly done. that is what happened to my previous house and that partition is done by HDB, lousy! the light in the MBR is nice i saw that in one of the shops too! for the bag hanger...will it spoil the handles if I leave the bag hanging there for long? I let my bags sit in the wardrobe as i was afraid that hanging will spoil the handles.
  6. 183cm is 1cm taller than my hubs...but u seemed taller leh...u sure u only 183cm? btw, plastering can let them do slowly so that it'll be nice nice mah is it a thin and tall china guy doing the plastering?
  7. both of them very tall lor...model material leh
  8. make sure that the main door is solid and not hollow. I don't think hollow de will "pass" wor. Solid ones should be more pricey...if fire-rated even more costly. Then again, i was told there are different types of fire-rated doors. Like they told me got half hour type, 1hour type. so best to ask and ask if u are unsure.
  9. any verbal agreement is best to note down and get both parties to sign on to prevent misundertanding in future can only remember so much now...
  10. when u do lesser things, maybe you want to also note the itemised price they quote to u. as u do lesser things, they tend to earn lesser in a way and the itemised price may be slightly higher and discount might be lesser too. Just take note on that. Mitlancer is right to say that elect points best to have a list on the pricing. Mine was quoted 40 points irregardless, if lesser, will deduct more will be FOC. So there is no additonal charge :x for items that are vague, please also not things like "supply and install ....." check for hidden costs. is they state only supply, they might charge installation seperately.
  11. hmm...my pebbles looks rather spreaded actually. but the choice of my pebbles are bigger and also, those that I have seen around the similiar size of pebbles looks like that. Initially i wanted a sealer, then uncle says it will become patchy after it wears off and looks ugly, so it was left "raw". But this makes cleaning and mopping really tough and it traps dirt. so i am going to ask him to apply the sealer. Now that you shared this info, I will get him to do so for mine. but my pebbles looks really obvious, but no where like the one in the pic tho'.
  12. is your main door a fire-rated door? Mine was quoted for 4 ft @ less than 600bucks, non-fire rated. some contractors will tell you the discount upon confirming their services, those prices quoted b4 discount? My quote from uncle all b4 discount and his usual practise is to give a lump sum off upon confirming so also difficult to share with u on his pricing.
  13. take into consideration of elect points as well. when u want to add anything, just check on the cost and keep track. There are things they can give FOC de.
  14. generally citrus fruit is rich in anti-oxidant like oranges I know BD is gonna so miss u during the time u MIA...see, the moment u appear, he appeared too!
  15. Do take good care ya...weather's real bad and take more anti-oxidant fruit. Hope u can find one good contractor who can fit in all that u need
  16. wow...so fast!!! Congrats on the shift!!!
  17. oh yes, i did that! now i stuff some of the books that my gal has inside the cabinet useful to have more storage space
  18. hmm...i actually have a piece of glass below too. that is to protect the laminate and for easy cleaning.
  19. I wanted to initially, but Mom advised against it due to some reasons. I am cleaning religiously since i selected white as the color. i used solid core laminate for my altar and also, a little mistake in what my inital plan for the altar. but alas, all turned out well and fine
  20. haha...yah, must thank BD about it ya... I still owe the MBR, Mom's room, kitchen and balcony ... don't pressurize me, i will post later ok this is my altar
  21. Mom is worried more about the boy. worried that the boy will climb out from the bed and cross over the guard and fall on the floor. then worried that the gal will be scared to sleep alone...haiz hehe...ya. she very hiao one lah. always wana pose for me. pebblewash is ok for mine. im using cement for the pebblwash. what happened to yours?
  22. fondue, the sales person at asia excel told me i can place this way so that in any case if the basin breaks, it will not cause a permanent hole in the solid top and will cause me some inconvenience if i were to get a replacement basin. so this is not correct? this is actually smooth surface so i thought it can be placed this way.
  23. I think talking about upbringing here is really too personal and I do not see any relevancy here. like things have been said, in every trade there are black sheeps, so why keep harping on things uncalled for?
  24. i can't...have plans for the kids as I need to work 2 saturdays this month, so have to maximise my time with them i still go back every week de...cos my mom still stays at senja can u imagine both brian and my mommy stopped me from buying? Mom is worried about the kids sleeping alone...*faint* the other one worries about them too!!! how?
