Thanks seashell.. updated for mine

Hi Ivy, btw who is yr electrician and carpenter? Now i'm getting worried

Hi Seashell.. mine was a package from the new contractor I engaged.. Acid wash for whole house plus dewax is $300.. must say they had a hard time to earn this $300 cos m whole kitchen tiles were full of cement and the surface rough.. the cleaner was scrapping, cleaning and "cursing" at the same time..

Hi Seashell.. thanks..i bought it at Sin Lek.. i called their sales person and confirm that must remove / polich away the wax else will be ugly in times to come ..funny thing is that Ah Soon and his tiler told me no need ..haizz nvm la...i rectify the issue by paying myself..now the tiles v shiny and nice

For wood dining tables..u wanna rectangle one or round? For rectangle, u can try natural living, scan teak, barang barang , charis living ( can custom made) for round the only ones i found are from Zen traditions.. For bathroom accessories, i recommend heritage (geylang) & tropical bath ( newly open @ balestier..nearby TMC) look for andy

Ok.. i called tile shop.. they say the wax is to protect during the tiling.. after done shd polish off the wax so that it's nice else sometimes after prolonged period of time after we wash the flr and pressure applied differently might look not nice and capture dirt

i also think so lei.. but contractor say no remove the wax no nice... wonder what's right and wat's wrong

Hi SS, is yours homo tiles? My new contractor say must polish the tiles so that the wax on top of the tiles will be removed..anyone heard this before?

Haizzz..think must be v jialat...think must be those first time subcons he engaged and no quality control at all...

hmm if lidat then if his workers suddenly wanna do some work at place how? u open the locks for them?

Just to share my woes to Ah soon and ex ah soon's customers...today my plumber come and to our shocked our toilet sewage was blocked ( full of cement) the plumber say someone must have deliberately pour in the cement to let it harden.. that's the prob of not paying subcons.. i dun have my tiles hacked but my sewage blocked !!!!

Wow this bifold door is so beautiful... i wanna have it too Btw, just to self ridicule a little... my job only the ones which i source direct is soon soon.. the rest with Ah soon all not SOON!!!!

Piggybear's carpenter is Ah Liu?

Looks like getting more n more serious and out of hand... .. 真希望你以後會順順利利了

Hmmm i heard that the his workers went to Tiong Bahru..thot it's your unit..seemed not

Have u seen his drawings? If u can scan a copy.. I think i would know if whether is it from Ah Di.. Ah Di's drawing is v basic..use ruler to draw and the full length cabinent he drew a X on the door

Today marked the end of our 2 months journey with Ah Soon. We have our fair share of agony and frustration with him but nothing compared to some other owners like SeaShell, fini , trev n Jesslyn went thru thus not worth talking about I will like to give some facts n clear up some speculations 1] On whether Ah Soon does hdb projects... the answer is yes he does..the hdb officer we met told us he was working for her before..( however on the part that he claimed no payment from hdb..i cannot verify whether is it true) 2] From my converation with the tile shop , the salesguy who knows him for many yrs also commented that this is the first time that he seen Ah Soon this way and he is also scratching his head as to why.. Like wat seashell said..biz is this way..life have ups and downs..and to be cynical everything is funny as long as it's happening to someone else...and this time round it happens to us and when u r in it, it's not funny at all.

U have moved on but they are a lot of other owners waiting for rectifications or touch up of tiles..whatever the tiler can do their exposure will be lower ( be it small or big) btw we spoke to the tiler..he was paid (how much i dun know) but he did finished all my rectifications with good workmanship.i dun speculate i just present the actual situation that i encountered..if u think i will get karma then be it The aim is to limit exposure (meaning no more money given but have work done) with Ah Soon not to promote pple to continue with him

Hi Nobody, Thanks for your concerns..as for the tiling..for my place he did lay cement first followed by white cement. As my previous posts my tiler Ah Hwa is going to a new house today..hopefully one of the owners here can get some work done..Ah Hwa is a good guy

BTW , my tiler Ah Hwa said Ah soon has got him to go to another unit tommorrow..so hopefully one of u will get your tiling work done soon...Ah Hwa is a v good guy

Ya u r right...tho it's not my nature to doubt people but after this reno experience i also do not know if there anyone whom i can trust Anyway for me i took out the carpentry already as i know that i wont get it until long long time later...so

U mean Ah Ho holding on to yr carpentry tho it's ready?

Nvr heard of Ah Liu but if u can pay direct lor but make sure u tell Ah soon in advance..

i suggest u gt Ah Soon out.. have him take out the carpentry items then hor get the carpenter to give u a separate quote lor... to avoid confusions and any misunderstanding..btw who is yr carpenter?

Ah soon is in town... i spoke to him just like 2 hrs ago
