20-Aug-2009- MBR Toilet wall tiles - completed

20-Aug-2009 Kitchen wall tiles completed - Still prefer the one did on 17-Aug, but wife prefer to change the orientation.

Hi dsman, dakota is a nice place..is near the Old Kallang Airport ya...the food there is yummy.. Look like u got a good deal than me I think... ..including staircase.....

hahaha...so serious meh...haha. Ya lor..wait for his quote and see how.

Wah....U better meet up with him...Perhaps, over coffee...see if it can be lower.

Oh..that fast..no worries.. Ya lor...rewiring is costly...Perhaps, you must see your condition first...if budget wise u can afford....I think should go for it. But if not, think whether is it a must or nice to have... Don't have to decide first? Perhaps, ask the ID or contractor to check for u first....

For me..I just press press the wires concealed....or near the socket... 30 cm away. Err....MAKE sure u off the electric supply first...to further play safe....just press about 30 cm away from the exposed wires....just press the covered wire will do...If is like very hard or u see there are worn out or tears...is not a good sign. If not, can just ask the electrician to check for you...if need to re-wire..I think the range will be around 3.2k to 4k. Should be around that range price.

got got...I got check also...After using my eye power....I use my hand power...haha.. the covering are not sticky also. But I didn't check all....I believe Jason and the electrician will check for me also...

Mine is 1988. Older than yours..lols....It depend. You can ask the electrician to check for you. I check with my brother before as he is a electrician. He told me should be okie...so long as we change all the sockets points. Hmm...but if u are doing re-wiring, just in case they "cheat" u...make sure your ID or contractor...tear down all the wires (* u will have to go down and see*)...some will just change a new casing for you and treat it as re-wiring. Re-wiring means....tearing down all the wires except the 3 live wires from HDB points.

Coffee O: Roger that, bro. I called him to remind him already...he say will get back to u within these few days...As he is hacking some flats this week. Fannie: Taking your advice, we are not going to re-wired....Cause seriously, I don't see the needs to spend on it since the wires are doing good as the contractor has check it. *Crossed finger* Afterall, even if is re-wired...if the electrican is not up to standard....is as good as not re-wiring....that how I see...

MBR TOLIET - Tues (18/08/2009) Confirm final toilet internal layout with Jason as hacking was completed. The wrong layout of tiles.. This is the last scene on 17/08/2009 ....on the 18/08/2009 at 11 a.m... tiles are lay correctly. Old layout was tear down. Actually, I don't see a problem with the intial layout....but my wife doesn't see it this way... But, Jason said...."Your wife happy can already, u are paying me money. I suppose to make both of u happy within reasonable requests." But, stilll...we feel paisey.

17 Aug - 6 p.m. Night reccee.. Realise tiles is lay in such a way wife don't like. As pattern of flowers on tiles not to my wife's liking. Decided should be the other way. Called Jason. Say not too late to tear down... He say will call us back......we wait while looking at the kitchen wall..Almost wanted to accept since tilers was too fast...almost completed 3.5 of the walls... Called Jason...but he say nvm... and at the same time, the team was activated to come back. Suprised they are back so fast.within 10- 15min while we are still there. We decided to tear down feeling a bit paisey. We are happy with the response and Jason's attitude.

welcome welcome...welcome to the stair climber group... heeeheeehee...The start of the love / hate relationship with our dear staircase.

Is just a warm up match.....I think actually it could be a good thing to sell off Ronaldo. Now Rodney has more space to tap on his creativity. Was hoping few more matches later...he is able to partner with Owen.. hehehe.

Not necessary la..It could be just my personal experience and my plain "luck". haha. Who know u meet a nice ID? hard to say de.

Usually, base on my experience, they will want you to go down so they can do their sales pitch. But, I did tried before some IDs....I call them...told them my wife is oversea so we couldn't meet up as wife is the decision maker and wife has told me what she want to do and will want to see quotation first.then I ask if can fax or email them for quotation....some tell me no some tell me yes.... So I think depend on the firm we are dealing with...but no harm trying. Lefting out a lot of stuffs is the most common thing IDs do.....I dono is they forget or is a tactic. After u sign on the dotted line....and then u realise this one haven't include that one haven't include...it will add on to your cost...Usually, most will not absorb the cost... so have to beware.. and remember to check your paints when u start reno...some tell u ICI paints color selection and some tell u ICI paint. There is a difference....ICI paints Color selection mean....they let u select color from ICI BUT not using ICI paint...silly isn't it and ICI paint - mean they let u use ICI. Perhaps, I am unlucky...I encounter such IDs before...so just play safe ask them silly qns before u sign like....confirm is Nippon or ICI paint. not color hor.... and usually is outsource to contractor to paint....some contractor will "eat" your paint by using different kind of brand...so be present to check the paint ya.
