Sorry to hear about your experience and glad there is resolution for your various problems now. My renovation was done by a relative as well and I do believe having relatives do renovations present a different set of problems and situations. My husband and I had no choice but to go along with it as we were constantly pestered by our relative to "support support lah!". Initial part was still ok ,until the carpentry started. We starting seeing all sorts of issues happen like designs gone wrong, very very poor finishing and even scratches and chip offs that were not repaired or at least covered. I called my main con about all these and his reply was:" Technical difficulties I cannot help you, because I was not there when you were discussing with the carpenter so I don't know what you said to him." Classic eh? :bow: Not to mention its even easier for relatives to charge you more. I hope your renovation journey will be smooth from now on and have a beautiful home in the end.

Hello fellow neighbours, just a question to ask, have any of your contractors told you that the bathroom floor is not slanted to the drain side? I just received news that I need to fix that

Thanks all for advice and comments. @sandywu: I will get the contractor to add in specifically for the kitchen top. My contractor abit old school, so might not have been specific. Thanks!
