guess this has gone the wrong way i was just pointing out to the TS that the items in the quote are above market rate e.g. the painting works, the electrical works etc you had singled out the painting cost and made some comments on it which i find a little offensive. if you had read my first few post, i didn't mention any details of my contractor i didn't even try to recommend him it's just the comments which i find is rather rude - dilute paint, illegal workers etc it simply didn't come across as 'opinion' i quote - 'or could you be using illegal worker for the work?' and just fyi, my contractor does not have salesperson this is all i have to say, i've be hijacking this thread long enough my apologies TS

which part of SP? most of the forummers here quite young hor i'm about the few lao char bo

oooo, very nice fan you've got there very futuristic look looks expensive though

hi compassvale, long time no see have you gone to the SK forum?

dun think today will rain loh me cannot join you all today have not even started on my project :dunno: but hor, heart itchy leh. got gathering me not around val, can pm me your contact number?

if you've got credit card, can always go for those 6/12mth balance transfer think the processing fee is 3% - 5% on the total sum then no interest for the remaining months e.g. balance $10k, processing fee is $300 for 6mth and $500 for 12mth. then every month pay minimum until the end of the period then pay up. think cheaper than renov loan? one thing to note is dun use the card for anything else coz 24% interest applies

aiyo then you must buy instant noodles and put at home liao me cannot starve, if hungry will be in BAD mood then everybody will kenna from me that day i bought a carpet from courts causeway point not really shaggy carpet, but it's those with fur-like fibre too bad now my place not ready so the carpet is still in it's package, if not can take pix and show you think it's 140 x 170 at $69 bedside table can check out ikea, now sale got a $19 glass top table with metal legs saw it in one of our fellow forummer's t-blog but can't seem to find it yeah loh, heng courts allow us to 'book' the price if not dun know where to find this kind of price liao maybe gendon can rep us all and go see MP during the 'meet-the-pple' session can ask for coffeeshop first, then bbq pit and exercise corner :notti: hmm, it seems like a long time since LinDa reporte in wonder what happened

only thing i can say can see you did a lot of planning and research before buying all these stuff me will only go ikea, see-like-buy that's why everything all mis-matched and the wires behind the low bookcase, most prob i'll be thinking of a way to hide them instead 8| lazy me

no good to skip meals leh, must your hubby for ill treating you just went to your barnyard your moo moo put under the table pain pain leh thought it'll be somewhere where your feet will enjoy the softness, but in the end the table enjoy i second that. when when when i also BUY BUY BUY until no money liao that's why now trawling yahoo auction to look out for steals like this if not must sit on the floor to talk on the phone

honestly, the only person who is trying to quote here is definitely not me if nippon can quote $1.5k taking their rental, salesperson's pay and the 5% bank charge for IPP, i dun see why contractors can't quote $1.35k? diff of $150 to cover all that? not sure about nippon dun do paint jobs, whose counters are those at home-fix offering paint and painting services??? as for the diluted paints or lower quality, that's a rather serious allegations you are making there. do you have any proof? or come across anyone who does that? i choose to trust those i engaged, if not i won't engage them in the first place, would i? if you are in doubt, can always check out the ho bee thread where you will learn more about my contractor. this is a forum for home-owners to share their renovation experience, not for solicitation of business. this is the price i've gotten so why should i be afraid to share here if my contractor can make a profit on it, i dun see why he can't pass the savings on to me. attractiveness of a quote is the TOTAL price, not the itemised price if one can do the exact same things at a lower total price, do you think i will go for one that charges cheap for only some items???

wah the buying spree has began wonder what will be the final damage the hood/hob looks very sleek from there can imagine how your home will turn out

where got rich? after your BUY BUY BUY now is the poor girl liao

if you get contractor's price, the paint is even cheaper i can get the paint at $40 also and each room only require one can for two coats then nippon official offer is $1500 for EA, can use credit card 0% IPP they also use illegal worker? the cheapest offer i've gotten is $900 for my unit with medifresh but that one i really dun trust loh patrick is trustworthy and i've spoken to the painter done a good job patching up everything, including the exposed light points etc
