Is laminate meant to be so thick?? see the brown lines...ugly leh, looks out-dated... anything thinner or not? Wat other material can be used?

Purple/Vinlee ... am wondering if urs/any contractors using laminte that thick? Mine is so thick... old-fashion/out-dated? This Aaron is unresponsible and dishonest. trying to push the blame to his workers - i cant prove to u all now, coz i got no pic to show and i tried asking him to send the pic to mi via infra-red, but cant... Behind my full height cabinet (FHC), used to be a wall (small one to hold 2 pipes), i got it hack and to patch up. So before the full height cabinet was mounted to the wall, This Aaron took a pic via his hp and showed mi, coz he will know i want to see it. Its only cement - grey in colour. After i when thru my quotation list - i notice the hacked wall need to be patch up with wall tiles. Last saturday i question him again on the patch up behind the FHC, to double confirm if wat behind the FHC was wat on the pic in his hp... HE SAID : "I dont know, I took the pic & left..." Wat is this? Did he have wall tiles for his workers to lay?? HE SAID : "I ordered" ....??? I told him to remove the bloody FHC and patch back with wall tiles as stated on the quotation. After talking and arguing on the rest of the cabinet measurement, i wen back on the wall tiles topic... He said : "MY OFFICE have alot of white tiles, same size as HDB ones... We keep stock on it, coz standard one" U see la.... He FOS.... trying to smoke the whole situation.

Pls comment on the laminate

Wat work schedule?? daily progress?? Nothing... only sms or email wat was done and going to be done the next few days. I really need some professional help... I think he is the one that make his workers do double work. He anyhow install lights/water spray guns without using brain. At least ask the owner or suggest a suitable place to install first la... The most ridiculous one is the dining light... install so high, shine wat? Tot shd be lower so that the yellow light will shine on the food to make it look good. He told mi that he was afraid that my head will knock against it... wah lau...i got table under it... how to knock? Best thing, he say he will try to extend as far as the extension wire allows.... then i found out from his workers that they had cut it... wanna extend cannot liao...Dont care, he had to do something abt it... I wonder how many holes he/his workers had made all over the house and then putty back...sigh shirleyspj@gmail.com

Vinlee, This is the only sketch he gave mi, a re-sketch coz the first one couldnt fit as its too big. No measurement indicated. First day i open door (21Aug), i asked him over to have a better look at the actual place and he did some measurement. Therefore he had to re-sketch. Wat kind of basket i wanted, measurement catalog were also given to him on the 21Aug... But now measurements are all out, and blame mi that i told him abt the basket when he had half done the cabinets in factory?? Obviously he had done the cabinet before viewing my place on 21Aug... ########################################### From: Jenna email [mailto:palmco@singnet.com.sg] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 1:20 AM To: Shirley Seah Subject: FITTING OUT WORK AT BLK 302B #15-188 Hi Shirley, Please find the attached quotation inclusive of Additional Order.

This is a sample of the basket taken from showroom Normally for pull out baskets - u give contractor the whole basket plus track/bracket measurement right? He did my cabinet too big to fit 900mm basket w bracket, and said to mi that 900mm he mentioned is for basket size only...wat rubbish Even dare to say i give him to measurements late... Going to F* him. Since the cabinet too big, he say to add wood, easy for him to say... but it will be so ugly la... Tiles on floor – if u brush your barefoot on it, its kind of sharp edge. Thickness more then a sheet of A4 80gram paper (pink in colour) A few of them around the house

Can spot the difference?? ignore the red plastic bag Full Height cabinet over-shot to my fridge base... Then my fridge how?? 4cm gone... contractor had to return my fridge allowance... then he need to exceed to the white wall tiles

Am too early to comment previously.. Update : See my signature.... **** pissed... This reno is going to delay another 2 weeks...maybe more I wan him to re-do my kitchen cabinet. Cant imagine if i had more carpentry. the cabinet was my one and only wood work.

Sigh... i think most contractors are not perfect. very pissed with mine too... I wan him to re-do my kitchen cabinet

Is it expensive??

Pai seh, HP camera not good..sigh.... some pics of my house... late liao, need to rush back home for dinner - 9plus...sigh Living Room Kitchen half-way done Dining Rm light Passage-way, the light meant for balcony, but i like it..so i bought it lor... brother-in-law & sis say wrong choice...sigh MY UGLY PVC TOILET DOOR...blue in colour, but handles are sort of greenish...eeeeeeeee... Changing it to PD door... wood grain like (sama sama as main door)

Where can i find ready made curtains - abt L 297cm x H 266cm most important is the height.... custom made curtains are abit ex.... How is the sewing charges for IKEA and Spotlight??

Yup, am getting them to remove all part of my existing toilet door/frame... coz its blue in colour...eee... therefore dont match my surrounding wall /paint colour in natural cane (earthy colour) I chose a wood grain PD door same colour as the main door... Not sure how its mounted, but i tot its silicon? My contractor will patch up the ugliness for mi

Flush inside, if look from outside not nice leh...sigh my toilet is facing the main door leh, anyone passing or visiting my house, will see the toilet

Need adv : Am replacing one for my common toilet. The frame of the PD door is 4mm and my wall is more then that. Shd i place my PD door flush outside or flush inside (of my toilet entrance) ?? Tot of doing it flush outside, when i slide and swing the door, my entrance will be smaller lor, coz of the wall. If flush inside, door can fold and swing further in...
