Expansion, contraction, over the times, exposed to sunlight, etc... We can arrange a time to meet up and discuss more in detail.

Very useful information. Kudos to all who contribute.

Floorich laminate....which brand? They carry quite a few brands. Or u referring to their China laminate? What we worry is not the surface material but when they is gaps between the laminate boards, water seeping inside will damage the laminate. Laminate come with different thickness, so is the cost. I had 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm even 11mm different thickness of laminate samples. Sound absorber is placed before laying of laminate, most if not all laminate suppliers do have it and will use it too.

Yup

This lock set look common to me....door marker should have it. U can try BEST door at kaki bukit ave 1. They should have it.

Should be busy unpacking now.....

Welcome to RT

It was because house owner didn't know anything that's why engaging us to do the job. If everything also house owner do then they don't need us at all. Don't over stress yourself too much Sis.

Me still working this hour...

Hmmm..........cardboard can sell for $$ so is the can tin......I do know that painters do like to pour 2-3 cans of the same paint together so that they able to paint faster as they use bigger roller. But some dishonest one will also mix the paint with cheaper paint or water and then discard the cans immediately. I did fired one of my painters before when I found out that he try to con me by doing this so that able to pocket a few hundreds more. Too bad for him cos he didn't know that for every house, before or during the painting work, I'll do a check on all the paint and whether the amount is correct not. As for your case, yes the colour do will vary a little bit from the catalog but from chalk white to apple green is a bit too out. I can't said your painter is dishonest or trying to cheat u as I'm not there if not I'll be like framing him. Ask your painter to take a new can and paint it on another wall to see the different. This is the best way to verify. If it turn out to be 2 different colours, I do like to hear his side of explanation. Another things to take toke if the existing paintwork of the wall is green, then the 1st 2 coats may turn out a bit greenish too, but after a few more coatings, it will be the colour close to the catalog.

Congrats and welcome to RT.

There shouldn't be any mixing or diluting required. But mixing it is one of the ways of cutting corners. Save cost earn more.

A cheap diamond drill bit cost ard $10 but won't last long, mostly 1 project over and need to throw away liao. I usually prepare it for my plumber, electrician and glass installer to use it. Most of them is take and no return so didn't pass them the more expensive one to use. When using, need to drip in water quite often cos it will become very hot after a while...prolong the lifespan of the drill bit. Ask the tiler don't anyhow do, if there leakage in future, who going to responsible? Min 2 layers of water proofing. W1 is bonding agent. It is to strengthen the cement properties when dry. Old timer tiler will use this as waterproof but is not as efficient than using water proofing membrane.

Me too but very expensive. $300+

Not expensive at all especially for the wood grain laminate. If choose deco metal then is very ex. I staying in North East. I'm fine with next week. Meet at Bugis Junction if this more convenient for both?Anymore joining?

Lies????U haven't signed the contract and he/she already telling u lies? Oh I remembered that your floorplan had a very odd layout. This month a bit too busy because 3 projects were given to me on a very tight a schedule to meet. Mostly my renovation project will takes 2 months but this 3 projects are less than a month time to complete. If not, they will be 'homeless' . So I'm rushing my ideas...eating 2 big packet of M & M's...etc to get it done. Moreover i bidding for a commercial project in Sept and need to submit the drawings by end of this month so being squeezed tight tight.

Agreed, the range is ard that.
