  2. hi, I am giving away my day bed. its teakwood. use 6 years. condition still 98% good as its teakwood. size is 2 m by 1.16m. height is 2m. why there is a height, its because there is 4 pillars, and above it got square square shelter. teakwood wardrobe. 1.07m by 0.6m by 2m high. on top is hanging, below its all drawers. condition is ok. got 2. 1 ok, another door loose, screw come out. I never drill back. note- for wardrobe, when u shift, the wood will move. so u need to adjust properly bcas its ok to use again. both super heavy. to clear asap. sms me for pic - 96907887. first come , first serve. whoever can come even earlier to collect, will be even more first. if I no reply, means it taken. arrange yr own transport. note- very heavy. need 3-4 strong men.
  3. I am Renoguyz, Nicholas. Every coin has 2 side. I will only say once and not feedback any further. Norman Ho looks for me for quotation. I quote, item by item selling price. He wants to be completed in 3 weeks. i told him i can't commit. At most i can only do tiling works. i told him look for other ID. Few days later, He call me to do just tiling, hack & plumbering. i requote my selling price more than 11k. But his budget is 10k. i told him cannot again. So i told him, - i sell u cost price, u just pay me $500? i help u, ok? He agreed to it. While at this point of time, Norman told me he can source cheaper, definitely can be lower than 10k. And i did not ever commit to him that i can. I keep on saying- Norman, i try. His reply- Nick, u can. (i was wondering, if he can get cheaper, why get me. Not all supplier charge the same but i am happy with the workers i worked with. Any defects, they will rectify) So now when i requote the price again(cost price estimate almost 10k), i DID NOT quote him item by item but by lumpsum. THIS IS MY COST PRICE. I can't let him know how much my supplier sell me. And i told him, hiccups will happen along the way. u cannot jump at me. sO either u trust me, or i don't do yr job. Again, Norman said he has asked around before(and he repeated this statement many times), its this price. I dunno who he ask. Thats their costing, not MY costing. AND i REPEATLY inform Norman, i cannot confirm cost price for tiling works. Its not carpentry where i know exactly how much. Tilings got include 10% wastage but carpentry no, painting no, door no. So before we proceed. And i told him again, DO NOT JUMP AT ME IF GOT HICCUPS. Yr time frame is only 3 weeks. i can't promise u perfection. Why a 6 weeks job, i told customer 2 mths? bcas hiccup will happen. worker sick, do wrongly. But any defects,we will rectify within this 2 months. And i told him- NORMAN, its i am helping u. No one will wanna do your job for $500. As usual, customers are so grateful at this point of time. Then Job in progress, hiccups happen. Things not smoothly, delays. few tiles tiles not perfect. Note- kitchen wall is OVERLAY. So, i told Norman, if u want, i rectify it. Due to time constraint, Norman said forget it. He needs to upz the carpentry ASAP. But now he said i give him lousy work. Nevermind, i let him win. And the toilet kerb just ask his own engaged painter to paint over it. I dunno why so hard. Nevermind, i let him win. Norman not happy bcas of some charges of making smooth the wall which i overlooked. And yet he keeps on calling me to do this to do what. And i have repeatedly tell him now i only in charge of tiling work, other issues, u should get the correct ppl to do. If i do yr whole house, then i will solve all yr problem. Ultimately, with some added on like dispose carpentry, etc.... my cost come out to be 11k plus. He jumped bcas his budget is 10k. I told him, tiling costing i can ONLY estimate. U modify cabinet base here, u extend here, u hack there, etc etc. U want my ppl to patch up hole here, patch up there. U expect free? Even if there are things i overlooked, if i sell u selling price, i have to bear the cost myself. But now i quote is estimated cost price. i am too tired to explain. I told his wife to issue the remaining amount, to follow the amount i mentioned to her. After cheque issued, i told his wife, the $500 i not interested to earn. i did not include inside. Forget it. Take it as a free labour. But if got any defects, i will still rectify it. Just take the $500 for items i overlooked. And i left the house. (Note- if selling price, most ID firm will sell much higher, to cover any overlooked items) End of story.
