  1. At the 1st place though of making life simple for both but end out are the opposite way.
  2. Share my BAD experience that I encounter of this contractor. angry: Just bought a resale flat and it consider an move-in condition, the only things we need to do are change of kitchen cabinet and some minor work for both toilet. Did visit some of the ID's center and their quote are on the "super high side", and we not intend to spend too much $ to those so call "branded" ID. So we decided to try those contractors from newspaper classified page, called fews of them and manage to get fews quote with "Good" pricing (almost half of the prices saving compare to ID), finally we let this contracor - L** C**** Renovation Contractor to handle our minor renovation work due to his presentation, $, leadtime (2 weeks to complete) and so call their family pass down business (claim that in this industrial for 20 over years). The nightmare start after signing the agreement, at first he request a payment of 40% to him for purchase the materials, but we disagree the terms and finally he agreed to receive 20% upfront, for the start everything are according to the plan until the 3rd days, he ask again for another 40% payments for him to pay his workers, we told him no way as this is not our problems but we think of they already make our kitchen in the mess and try not to create any problem with them, we bargain till pay only another 20% payment if we able to see the work in progress. From the time onwards, this contractor start to play "punk" with us, he put our reno works into 2nd priority and even I need to call him everyday to ask for the status instead he update us the progress. After discuss with my wife, we though by giving way and give him some more payments to complete the work done ASAP, but we are wrong, this contractor are totally unreliable. After getting the payments and there are no change at all, and the worse thing are he give us the contact nos. of his sub-con and contact them personally, and the most f*** angry thing are - his sub-contractor come to us for payment. At the end we just pay the payment that where his stop (luckily he have completed 95% jobs), the rest we do it one-by-one and jobs done. Lastly I wish to say that not all the contractor in paper are bad, is only the luck is not in our side and get this contractor. Anyone encounter this before? Can we file this to CASE? I think is good to share with other newbie, at least it can prevent it happen to others.
  3. Hi Bro & Sis, Anyone use this company - The Interior Place for your home renovation? Kindly give me some feedback. Thanks in advance.
  4. I also a newbie too and still in a learning stage, all this I heard from master. He did told me that the column might give you some negative effect, so never place or sit or sleep below the column.
  5. I think there is 1 shop (dun no the name of the shop) in IMM level 1 they do this type of services, I saw someone bring the Pixiu to them, they will place the pixiu in the brass bowl, after they use the brass rod to go thru few cycles on the edge of the bowl to create a high pitch tone, I think that 1 of the way to clean the feng shui items.
  6. Is kind of feng shui, they believe the column of the house might block away the energy, now with the help of the buddha support the column, the energy able to run smoothly in whole house. For my case I need 3 laughing buddha as my column are in 'L" shape.
