If there are serious rectification, then wait dont pay. But it is small and can DIY, negotiate for discount.

I went to them too to ask for a quote. Never got back to me....... the person serving me does not seem interested.... so it SAYS A LOT.

Gaku.. finally you moved in!!!! Dont delete any post........ these are IMPORTANT for all to read.

Please dont delete your blog. This is a forum where we can share our real experience. Let there be true transparency. You have your own unique challenges and I am sure different ones of us also have some frustrations (big or small) in some ways. In fact, sharing them is good. Not all Ah Soon reno projects proceed smoothly too. So that others who read have a balanced view. Meanwhile, stay cool...... look ahead. You can move in soon. Enjoy the new house!

Good progress!!! May I ask how much you pay for the sofa?

Wow.... huge transformation aftering seeing the before pics. I like airy and spacious feel. The toilets are nicely done too.... Hopefully I can make a trip up to your place and see. I really want to see. When I visited my MIL, I will go to BP.

Wow.. very nice country theme... I always think that country theme is DARK DARK. Yours is such a light, airy and bright feel. VERY NICE!!!!!

Hi Gaku, I can totally understand your frustration on HO. Mine has been changed 2 times too. SIGH. You got to be firm with Uncle or else he will give priority to other projects. That's the feel I get when my rectifications works were not done on time. So, call him EVERYDAY to bug him or else you will be bleeding money with your rental and movers. I really stand on your side.

Wow... nice dining lights... how much did you pay?

wow.. your reno seems to move quite fast.. the tiling is done for the room.

Tomorrow i shall go up to your house and kay poh....... hee.hee.. see the gap, is it that wide.

no la... so unglam, we took a piece of that sample home and did that in the privacy of my 'science lab'..... hahaha... I a bit OCB.

Congrats on the start on your reno. Re the woody tile, maybe you are right, it should be matte in the first place. How I abuse it? I pour several types of cleaning solutions on it. See how clean it looks. I scratch it... to see it tolerance for sharp stuff..... I step on it to get a feel of it 'coolness' I am mad, right? Really I subject it to abuse to see how it can tolerates. hee..hee...

Hope your rectifications goes swee swee.......... dont worry... it will be fine as long as Uncle gives his word. I also faced the same thing when handover. Tiles, some hollow. I only 're-do' 2 tiles cos they chipped. Some hollow ones... Uncle team came and just dig the grouting and pour some chemical along the sides. The hollow sound gone. So, this is 1 possible way. I opt for this cos I dont want the hacking and tiling (esp when I have moved in)...... after that, i knock on it, the hollow sound goes.

wow.. nice 3D drawings........ Is that a TV feature wall with all the wood stripes? (sorry, I dont know how else to describe that)... nice nice

yes... i spy your Aventos HL.. . I want too...hee..hee.. but I dont have any overhead hanging cabinets. So I just settle for BLUM normal one which is also very smooth and good. How much is the Aventos system?

Ivy, nice glass doors........ hope your reno action will pick up speed soon! I also like such doors but sooo ex.

Wow... your kitchen looking VERY good!!!! Love it. I think overall your reno works are one of the best for Uncle. Not much hiccups and good carpentry works. And such good inspection by elder goh and Joseph. Swee Swee.

AIYO........ got Ah Soon imposter... hahaha... no wonder someone asking me if the number of Ah Soon is correct. I also blur.. didn't reply cos I thought I gave already ma. What Pet suggest is good... dont happily announce "I NEED A CONTRACTOR OR ID"....your mail box will be full one. It is good to read and see all T blogs... I find that is more useful and you can shortlist the contractor and ID from there. Anyway, a lot of 'imposters' never post T blog and tell you how good how good their ID/contractor is.......... really how do we know if we dont see the reno progress and final results in pictures.

Nice place.... ready for the babies. i saw your lovely coffee table..... where did you get it? and how much is it?

Very nice coffee table. Where did you get this? How much is it? thanks Your reno looks very good. The colours match well, and very good pick of furniture pieces.

Wow... the rounded edges of the carpentry is superb!!! Very nice. You got ALOT of carpentry works........... and I think all very well done!!!

The sofa looks so comfortable.

hi, you msg us at a time when we are busy with our handover and our packing and moving. Thus we cannot accomodate a viewing. It was too sudden and rush to arrange a time. And our handover was a mess then cos too many things to settle with Uncle. Sorry about that.

oh... that bedroom tiles... initially we also selected that 'wood' tile. A good alternative to laminate. But after we abuse it a while, it loses it 'sheen/shine' so we decided back on homo tiles. Maybe it was supposed to be matte. Cos when the sample was given to us, it has a sheen about it. Maybe you want to test test it first........ just a suggestion.
