Black Solid Top - Colour Fade After Things Are Placed
raincole replied to bluberi's topic in Kitchen & Bathroom
white will also have scratches, just not so obvious. Be happy with your choice, most important. -
I did not receive any invoice. Whenever payment made, I receive only the payment notice from their company. You will need to talk to the agent to have a mutual understanding. Sometimes invoice from company doesn't mean a thing when you have own arrangements with agent.

Resale Flat In Bedok North
raincole replied to fanren's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
I know how you feel. The place I'm looking is always demand more than supply. And there is always someone (5 others couples) looking at that 1 unit other than you. But still, offer what you can afford, and within budget. It is a home you are buying so some may says it is priceless lor. -
Won't one lar. But it is good to call and check status...

Some people overlay is because they have a new flat from HDB and doesn't like the tiles that come in the toilet. They are NOT allowed to hack, so can overlay. But if able to live with it for 3 years, then save the $$ and then 3 yrs to redo toilet. -
How Can Singles Afford?
raincole replied to icer's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
Not really, cos the value of the flat remains there and central flat has a higher value than out skirt flat. So after u, ur children will benefit from a central located flat + those travel saving per person, etc. Then again, to own perferences. -
You can do like: You make a diary of the work. Date xx, do what and what. This will be your record and your tracking of each progress. Eg. 1 Aug: 1 man is doing tiling work, cover 50sqm in the kitchen. Start from 9am to 3pm. 3 Aug: Arrange for plumber to come at 3pm but no show. Since your father is around and he knows the work, should be able to help you. Then with this, maybe your contractor will start to take note that you are SERIOUS about wanting to complete the reno. YOU come up with the schedule and see if ur contractor is able to complete it on time. And mentioned that the chq will be written with the expected date (post-date chq) and you will not be changing it if he delays the work further. I think chq got expire date if never cash-in. Get all the contacts from him. Get his hp and his office ph. What happens if he never pick up call or reply sms, so get a backup no. (maybe his boss or collegue). MUST MUST get a schedule and also compensation if fail to hand-over on time. Don't you have to move out by xx date? If so, then this is urgent and critical that your new place is completed by then. Then can start to arrange for your furniture, mover, etc.

Everyone's Favourite Simple, Tasty Recipes :)
raincole replied to Homeowner's topic in Wedding & Travel
This is like those BBQ chicken? Mine version is much simplified. Marinate chicken with soya sauce & salt & pepper. Bake for 10 mins. Glaze chicken with honey. Bake for 10 mins, turn-over and glaze with honey. Bake for 10 more mins (or until cooked). Honey-baked chicken wing/drumstick And this is what I cooked for last night dinner Claypot rice Use a big claypot or rice-cooker. Prepare veggie (chye Sim) & chinese la chan (slice). Prepare chicken - marinate with dark soya sauce, chinese wine, salt, pepper and sugar i'm using rice-cooker because my claypot is only enough for 1. Cook the rice till it is semi-solid. Put the chinese la chan & chicken on top of the rice, and some oil. Continue to cook the rice. Veggie, cook by boiling. Drain and left it aside first. Continue to cook the rice till chicken is cooked. Last round of cooking, put in the veggie. Can also add salted fish and chinese dried mushroom. -
Yar. Toyogo deals with plastic. Since in storeroom, not much need for it to look pretty, just need for it to be useful.

Next time get 2 quote, one with hacking and one with overlaying. Then you can compare the pro/con on both option. If toilet tile is ok condition, leave it. Just do a major washing. If want to re-do toilet, another option that is a cheaper version is to spray paint over it, those expony paint.

Very very sweet.....
