  1. haha i finally understand what u mean. haha sorry for sounding dumb. haha
  2. I agree with lawry as well. That's one of the way to rectify it. If it's possible, ask them to change the whole drawer too so that the door can fit. I know that's possible, just additional work for them. But then again, they did not meet your requirement so it's an obligation for them to change.
  3. Ahhh icici, okok. Then hor, perhaps if you can, get some design, show it to him and ask if he can fabricate something similar? If so, you can save further cost?
  4. Hi, just to check, since you are using Ah Soon, it should come with all the soft close already isn't it? If that's the case, why spend more on BLUM?
  5. Cannot change is one thing. Now there's a problem and it's her job as your ID to help you rectify or come up with an alternative since it's unacceptable for you. Furthermore, there's black and white written so there's no running away from her responsibility to make sure you are satisfy.
  6. But then again, the doors are not even 14". So no matter what it's still her. Just let her know that you can't take a no for answer. Even if die die cannot do, ask her to come up with suggestion and not expect you to take a no and accept it.
  7. Hmmm i guess you don't have to worry too much about not much freebies. For our reno in fact, we did not ask for, or should i say we did not even know what to ask for, any freebies. However, in the process of renovation, suddenly realised need to work on a few more things, like changing locks, door stoppers, additional length for kitchen cabinet, servicing of existing window grills and many more. Not to forget that that there are several items that we requested, they do, we feel it's not right and request to change. All these things he just readily do it up for us without asking for additional charges. When the thing that he does up really need additional effort etc, he will definitely mention to you. What i would suggest for you is, since your final quote is not up yet, perhaps instead of freebies, can get a better discount from him (which i'm sure he will be more than willing to). Also, best part of him is that, even though there might be quite a number of rectification to be done after things are done, when you tell him it has to be done/rectify/change, he will say ok and just go ahead and do it without giving you any black faces or excuses. In cases where it's really not possible, he will even come up with suggestion to help you change it and he might not charge at all. Furthermore, after your reno, if you have additional things, or things that you might want to do, you can always contact him and if it's within his mean, he will try his best to help. Eg, Pet's recess area, my dad's place painting of living room etc. Hope this will help make u feel better?
  8. I believe they took your drawings and measure accordingly. However, the 14 inches is the height of the doors of the drawers. Usually the drawer box is smaller than the drawer doors so that you can accomodate the sliding track. I think if you insist to change the drawers, it shouldn't be a problem. Just have to make sure there's enough spacing on the hole for the drawer box and that should do the trick. The hole itself can be cut further but it might affect the structure of your cabinet. Have a look at the structure and see what would be the best solution ba. Best of luck.
  9. Looks like u got urself quite a good deal!!
  10. i think it's ok leh haha. Maybe preference different bah
  11. We did our whole house window for $700. The film used is those plain white ones which you can't see from inside or outside. Which means, it can save us some money on curtains too haha.
  12. haha, that one i dunno. But guess if you keep bugging them, and if u r not happy with their quotes, maybe can get a second opinion from he himself?
  13. That day i was talking to him and he mentioned that he just hired 2 of his friends from Malaysia to help him with all the quotation stuff. I would supposed, most probably would be one of them instead of his brothers. He told me that his elder brother is not interested, and Jason can be easily stressed out so he won't give him that as well.
  14. I've got boxes from my office too. In the process of packing as well. When are you shifting? Perhaps can recycle?
  15. Guitar hero, you can play with the guitar set. For Rock Band, it's a drum set.
  16. haha, you are direct opposite from what's happening to us.
  17. Haha, i thought ur ah lao will be more for the games but instead, you are the one haha. Nvm, you just buy, then once u get it, have him to play, then once he play he confirm will stop nagging at you. haha
  18. Imagine there's still wii fit, guitar for guitar hero, and the drum set for rock star, and wheel for mario karts, and more controllers for the whole family, and .....
  19. Oh, in that case no choice then.
  20. Actually i do have a suggestion. Since u guys are getting in bulk, as in so many sets together, y don't get all different games and then 'borrow' from one another. In that case, you guys can have more games. Eg. if 2 person buying, since each has 10 games, u will have 20 games altogether and 3 will have 30 games. just buy more DVDs to burn.
  21. haha. i'm ok with controlling after all the training of to be patience. haha Thanks thanks. Will pm you with regards to his shop so that i can have my colleague to check it out. Thanks!
  22. Just to check, does your cousin sell friendlier sets only or do your cousin help to make existing sets friendlier? I have a coll who wants to know where can he service he's original sets to be more friendly.
  23. haha, that one i'll leave to her. She's better at such things than me. I'm more of decision maker.
  24. Hiya, i've thought about it and after discussing with mrspiglet, decided now is not the time. Too mnay commitments!! haha. Thanks for the offer though.
