Good leh.. now jst need to find out more on the procedure to apply primer and painting on gate.. also equipment need.. cost and time factor.. wonder if can paint it back to the wat it was.. or almost similiar effect.. Hi england.. long time no see.. Ha.. They are all very helpful... offering advice on things that i dun know or not clear with and legal issues.. Ha.. cannot go thorough on the legal aspect lah.. wait i peng san liao.. Ha.. already trying very hard to absorb what i can.. Is a great learning experience to me as well.. now that i know more then before, i can advice my friends on what i know.. or if i reno again.. on the present hse or 2nd property, only if i strike toto and 4D.. Ahahah.. Hope so.. Thanks huh..

Does daydream have a blog? yup.. watch tv on the floor loh.. ha.. The tv console and kopi table would be coming only end of june.. coz they can't fit our time slot.. Ha.. bo bian.. Good question.. would be similiar to reno bah.. is relying solely on the hairdresser/barber to know how it can be done.. since they had cut for so many diff ppl so shld know better.. this better or that not nice..

Sharing session.. My reply to Henry on 24 May 2010.. Thanks for the updated cost. I'm in the midst of contacting HDB and BCA so please have some patience. Like you had said previously, your company won't run away. So using the same theory, i also won't run away. But if you insist, please then provide the document proof that we both had agreed before starting renovation on 30 April 2010 as the handing-over date, and also the handing-over is indeed completed. Please also provide the full name of the specific window installer who installed the master bedroom sliding windows and the company name as the information is needed by the authority to conduct a check. Note that the installer may be called up for interview if needed. His reply on same day evening.. Thanks for replied.. The particular of the window supplier you can get to know easily thru HDB. Mr Pang & Ms Aw got no reason to hold the outstanding balance since whole project was done nicely & hand over. ( pls check payment term of invoice ) Please fell free to call me @90073683 ( hope to settle frendly with Mr Pang ) before 27/10/2010 My reply on today.. The company name of window supplier is on the permit from HDB. I'm asking for the full name of the person who came to install the master bedroom window. Please let me know once u have the info. Thanks huh.. Thanks.. would also wan to settle asap which would be good for both of us.

Looks like there's cheating/fraud committed by phillip at Henry's office.. Read Here..

ok.. thanks huh.. i discuss with my wife 1st.. DIY would estimate last how long?

This is good and very informative leh.. On the Burden of Proof, looks like my contractor shld be proving to me that the defects are acceptable, rather then i prove to him that what is not acceptable..

No leh.. i live in Simei... Ha.. but main door and gate would kana rain if rain super heavy.. i read the website.. is not easy to apply leh.. got any1 use before?

Ookkk... so mine is not glavanised gate.. Any possible solution? spray with something? if no solution, then would need to change gate again in a few months time? i changed the previous gate to a gate wic would rust.. sigh.. no ask properly...

The quotation only wrote "One set of wrought iron main gate with stainless steel lockset".. we initially wanted to get those aluminium type coz won't rust.. then.. anyway.. Any ways to check if it is galvanised? If is not galvanised, means the whole gate would rust over time?

This can see?

Hmm.. both leh.. let me go back and take another clearer pic..

Eh.. pics of my wrought iron gate w stainless steel lockset... Can ask if i'm suppose to see rust appearing? didn't really check the whole gate though.. tot is made to withstand the weather?

Hmm.. i suppose so.. Ha.. chim leh.. Hmm. unverified or doubtful truth.. i dun know how to verify or how doubtful it can be if the evidence/pics is there and i'm in the midst of it... How to prove leh.. pay another sum to reno again? The comments in this blog is certaninly written in good faith and with reasonable belief.. Ha.. all the good and bad of coz..

Personally speaking, the 3Cs can only be proven until the reno is complete and HO.. before quotation or during reno.. is hard to judge since the contractor had never worked for you.. He could have been the best in the past, but very bad now.. He could have just started bz in reno but raise to the expectation of the owner in afte a few reno. Another happy customer.. Ha..

Is that your cupboard at your home? Ha.. very nice design leh.. yup.. I also think so.. That's why i'm checking with the authority now on the standard for window installation.. likely i'll ask an officer to come down to take a look.. Henry's version.. looks nice, no leak, all sui sui.. checked with experts that the leveling is within tolerance level.. If officer says is ok.. then i pay up loh.. like Henry said mah.. he has been in this bz for so long.. so anyting wrong, he won't run away. But thinking, i also live there mah.. also won't run away.. what's the diff? Henry used an example for buying car also.. buy car liao.. got prob.. bring to fix, won't exchange new car.. is a norm.. tinking back (how come i didn't think it on the spot).. i buy a car.. if i say aircon not strong enuf, the machanic drill a few holes at some places and seal some to let air in.. also same? as long the car is cooler can oledi? HI reuben82, i don't have aircon in living/dining area coz mine is open concept so tink is too hard to cool the whole pl down and more possible of leaks. Got a big fan in the living room though.. Ha.. I only got 3 aircon in 3 rooms.. Hmm.. the paperwork is not with me leh.. not very sure abt the BTU.. think for compressor is like 24 BTU? master bedroom is 12 and the 2 other room is 9.. something like that.. i guess only huh.. Ha.. Wow.. really worth reading it.. i ask him for a quote before also.. but he didn't reply.. Heng..

The pics is drawings? wha.. like real one leh.. computer can draw til so realistic? Interesting design leh.. how come got drawing is slanted?

Just to share.. again.. that BCA guy called me last few days ago abt the window. HE mentioned that the window shld be leveled (didn't know the degree or tolerance, if there is any) and be tilting "forward" slightly ABIT to enable water to drain out. He would help to contact HDB on this to assist since is HDB's responsibility and get back to me on what HDB replied.. nice guy.. Wrote to Henry on tuesday on suggested updates of the quotations.. e.g last tm the quotation including a bar top counter wic end up i gave up doing, and also the double charge.. Wednesday msg him to remind to check my email.. Hnery sick so next day then can check.. quiet.. fri i msg him again to update the quotations to reflect the changes.. sat nite got email from him.. Our window supplier are certified and well trained and also with HDB licence . Please proof with black & white by QP for not proble installation !!!! Other wise Mr Pang should pay full amount.TQ ! Please mind your word and remove incorrect rumors. other wise legal action will take against you !!! Note : Remaining balance of $ 3520 should settle by 24/05/2010 since project was done and hand over by 30/04/2010 HOw come i as the owner dun know the handover was completed on 30 April 2004? Sigh.. mayb shld just pay everything up and get it over with.. most pay more to get things fixed.. good idea? SHould also edit the blog to praise more of Henry for all the good work.. and remove all the bad postings..

Ehh.. Is the internal evaluation plans similiar to 3D drawing where one must pay to get it? Yup.. cleaning.. and waiting whole day for delivery loh.. Fridge, washing machine and tv delivered.. Ha.. but living room no tv console to put coz dented mah.. put in master bedroom 1st.. need to sit on the floor to watch tv.. Ha..

Hi Tracy.. paiseh huh.. Ha.. mayb i shld shorten the blog abit.. but then shld be good to share also mah.. edit too much or wrong pl also would be commented.. so end up think better leave as it is loh.. dun tink would be peacefully loh.. see my post later lah.. just got a threatening email yet again.. Ha.. didn't hear of the term internal elevation plans until jaskel showed it.. ok.. Thanks huh.. was considering wall mount also.. but dun know isit hard to add more wires later on since i didn't get all the things for tv yet..e.g.. need tilt the TV out to plug in.. Self-improvement is forever going on.. glad to know jaskel but abit late.... better then then never...

Ha.. let me know when your pl is ready leh.. i go see see.. HA.. i suppose be wall-mounting your tv?

True also loh.. repeated work is the best and guranteed to have profit.. also 100% safe.. Likely those who venture out of the more commonly used design is doing it for passion.. or satisfaction of being able to do something different from others. But stil need to match with the owner who knows the risk and takes it.. Go Where No man Has Gone.. Do What No Man Had Done.. Ha... jeffcraze.. you bought a 50in Plasma TV? Your flat is those 5 room corner flat? Or the unit is those with longish living room? But dun tink simei have leh..

I'm sure there would be such ppl around everywhere lah.. jaskel have to make judgement call loh.. to help or not.. while helping, he needs to protect himself also mah.. bad friend.. Ha.. at least give token of appreciation for the effort made to help.. wonder why AS stil able to demand payment.. so shameless.. should have taken a pic of his face and post online so everyone knows his face.. like blueocean said.. we need more ppl like jaskel.. and also more ppl like blueocean so would offer more legal advice to protect the consumers.. to the man on the streets.. My pl there alot of dust due to building of DBSS and another unit doing hacking loh.. HA.. so got chance sweep as much as possible to reduce the dust.. i do my best to reduce from the start k.. Ha.. prepare to discover more surprises at hm mah.. Yah.. i checked while they were unpacking the stuff out of the boxes..Ha.. lucky this time round, i saw from the start.. electrical stuff.. this sat and sun loh.. Ha.. likely would just set up basic sound system.. Ha.. my colleague has a solid sound sys at home.. kana complained when on all the sys for watching movies.. Ha.. stil thinking HDB got sound sys.. got use or not leh..

Ha.. didn't even see this design before.. my parent's home is those round tray type.. they sell the door and hinges? tot is normal hinges but just put between 2 doors. Ha.. Hmm.. now thinking the corner shld put what things that is big but dun use alot.. Any suggestions? Ha.. 5kg rice packet? but hard to take put if put all the way in.. wanted buy the basket type to put but Henry dun suggest it, forgot what's the reason..

Point 8 is so so important.. HA.. That would be a common misconception of the man on the street bah.. There's no restriction or guideline on naming oneself at the moment also.. much like how responsibility the contractor shld be as blueocean had mentioned before.. wonder if i can call myself small time contractor.. Ha.. jaskel.. must remain humble/kind to animals while on the way up huh.. got alot of supporters and ppl with good knowledge here.. legal knowledge.. computer knowledge.. Hmm.. what else leh.. Ha...

Aiyoh.. too bad for me.. Ha.. too late also.. "wish" more for 2nd home then can ask jaskel to reno liao.. Ha.. mayb shld buy more toto and 4D.. Ha.. Must work hard to keep track of jaskel.. Ha.. Yup.. totally agree.. bought some.. moved some in.. yest 1st batch delivery (Cellini) just came in.. sigh.. sofa ok.. kopi table and TV console part A is dented.. asked them to take back loh.. they volunteered to leave it there for me to use 1st while getting replacement.. but ask them to take back loh.. at least can clean more of the exposed floor.. Ha.. Although already paid in full beforehand.. at least they never insist that i take the damaged goods.. the movers are very polite also.. 1 indian guy can speak fluent chinese and hokkien.. Ha..
