Thanks for sharing your reno journey! Your house looks great. Like to ask you about the water filter you bought from amazon Filtrete Advanced Under Sink Quick Change Water Filtration System, Easy to Install, Reduces 0.5 Microns Sediment and Chlorine Taste & Odor, Includes 6 Month Filter (3US-PS01). Manufactured by 3M. by Filtrete Did you get a plumber to install it for you? Any issues with the 3/8" piping with our local pipes? Also did you have to get an additional faucet? Thanks!

Hi Kingandbin, Just finished reading your T-blog and looking for a contractor to renovate my flat. Do you mind sharing the details of Contractor E, N and J&E? Thanks!

The leather sofa we bought from species is also peeling! And they told us it is good quality german leather when we bought it. Contacted them and they want us to pay 480 to re-upholster the sofa cos there is no product warranty. Do you guys think this is too expensive?! Btw, anyone knows if leatherbond is considered genuine leather? Wonder if we will have a case if we go to small claims

Hi mrspiglet, We also had the scv point split into 3 (should have been 4 but that is another story) Yes, the image is a bit blurr even after the LCD delivery guys connect it using the starhub digital hubstation. They did tell us that in order to get clearer image on our tv, it is better if we upgrade to a High Definition(HD) setup box. Becos we cannot tahan the image quality after paying so much for the tv, we went to starhub to rent the box Ours looks similar to the picture below but is without the hubstation: Hope this helps u

Thanks mrspiglet .. Actually my MBR was ok initially too. But after one month, the joint also broke and we glue it back ourselves. Ya, I think it is likely to be a installation problem, but I think we just don't feel like rectifying it again and again. So after thinking hard about it, we decided to change to bi-fold doors

oh .. this is a bit shocking to hear from their staff .. but at least they assure you that they will change, at least some good news your gal's response very cute

Finally your t-blog is up ..

hmm .. you mean they don't know how the chair looks like but yet they are selling it?

eh .. i don't think ah liew is handsome, neither is any of the workers. mrspiglet .. u not scared later gongkia come and read your post arh?

Sorry to hear about your problems with your carpentry .. Mine also have scratches and a few mis-drilled holes here and there, so they just use the pen to patch here and there. But for the dented doors, maybe can try to ask them to replace For the tv reception, are you using HD TV on Starhub cable? If yes, you need to go and get the HD setup box. Mine also like that and the TV guy told us we need to get the HD setup box. We got it last night and now swee swee Anyway, just to add, I also have not seen uncle for about 3 weeks. The last time was when he collect the 2nd last payment(20%) and go through the list of rectifications.. Then after that he only send the workers up. My last payment (VO) was handed to the carpenter actually If you want your rectifications done, have to call him and chase chase chase

You can try those electrical shops like paris silk etc .. There was once carrefour had a sale and we bought one for my parents

Finally .. we got our lcd tv, soundbar delivered and finish all the rectifications with final payment today *phew* it has been a long journey but we are glad that it is finally over! Although some of the things are not perfect, i think we can live with it. What is more important, is that we are all happy and no more cleaning all the time. All the best to everyone out there whose homes are still 'work-in-progress', the end is not far off. *jia you*

Welcome .. wow .. samsung LED tv .. *drool* If you got a dealer that offers u 6399 and if you want to buy extended warranty, you can try go the HN again and see if they can match your offer. It is a bit tedious but if you can save 400 dollars, why not? Unless you got lots of spare cash .. fyi, I go to HN at millenia walk .. if you need the sales contact, can pm me

We have a Fisher & Paykel fridge for quite some time already, quite happy with it so far. Heard that Samsung fridge are not very lasting .. but this is hearsay

I think everyone is entitled to his/her opinion about their own contractor, and we should be allow to share them here in this forum .. For those who are interested in engaging Uncle, please do take time to go through the t-blogs, visit some of his 'show-flat' and talk to some of his customers. My only warning is that, if you have a tight deadline, then Uncle may not be such a good choice.
