sorry it should be asialand not asiabuilders http://www.asialand-builder.com/mainmenu.html

hi RON Leow has moved fromID Emboss to asiabuilder, his number is still the same 90080700

ya thats how i did it during the inspection of my new hse; but in the end i hacked away everything cos the workmanship is simply cannot make it

whatever you want to do over the existing wall tiles most importantly you have to make sure there is no single piece of hollow tiles otherwise instead of saving more $ you will eventually spend more $ and trouble.

i did not do any wall tiles for the whole of my kitchen, i chose painted walls instead, i did glass backing throughout the start to the end of my cabinets. glass backing is easier to maintain than stainless steel. painted walls is cheaper and i tot easier to maintain. At most after few years just repaint with other colours if it really get very dirty. It is difficult to really clean properly with tiles present esp the cooking area. Those suction hood i feel only will help little bit during cooking even though i also has one installed in my kitchen

does he move piano too?

any good mover to recommend??

been so long since i last update this reno blog of mine; getting so upset and disgusted with the messy layout of my blog. So i am going to repost the pics from the start again, hopefully this time round is better. B4 reno http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb104/hobbes11/b4%20reno/ in the process of reno & still on going http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb104/h.../during%20reno/ This is how my hse looks like after 1 month+; so far so good i thought.

huh so quite worrying to see this situation for the redemption, i just ordered 1 R81 yesterday. wonder what will happen when i go down to claim the freebies; i have chosen HTS as the gift

2.6K with free gift from Samsung

just placed one unit @hong liang yesterday for this model; my hubby loved its sleek design compare to the previous model la37r7. yet to use so no much comments.

finally the hacking starts on 30/4/07 after all the 'hu-ha' caused by the 'missing' electrical cables; went to select the sanitary wares last weekend (total damage: $3.2K). Today went to place order for the 4 big electrical appliances for my house @ hong liang (total damage: $5.4K - lucky still within our budget). Since today is a holiday and no hacking works is being carried out in my house, drop by to take some photos of the house; was in a big mess as all the broken tiles scattered around the floor.

apparently few units kana but the best part is that they didnt do the rectification at one go. Dun understand sometimes how they work. Now all i can do is to sit and hope that by fri things will get settled.

went down to my unit to get the air con contract signed. Sigh to my horror, when i got there the next door contractor told me there is no electricity cables to supply electricity into the hse. THen i remembered i read somewhere in the forum that some clowns actualli cut and stole away the cables to sell. CUrrently police case. Sigh now i got to chase the town council ppl to do this rectification otherwise my reno will be delay. I am sure HDB will not extend the permit becos all these issues. Only thing can do now is to hope they can finish the work by fri as they promised to.

went for tile selection at hafarry today; was so crowded as if they are having open house. Was very satisfied with the selection, spent almost 3 hours in the shop but worth the effort afterall it our own house tml will be meeting the aircon man to discuss on the trucking and to understand more. Considering a sys 3 + sys 2 estimated damage $4400 afterwhich most likely reno goin to start end of this mth, projected date of completion: 2 months. Looking forward to see the outcome.

at ebay; i bought my western bar in there

gotten revised quotation from my ID today, abt 36K with close to 7k on carpentry works like kitchen cabinet, granite top, built in wardrobes for 2 rooms, concealment feature wall for shelther, toilet vanity top, toilet cabinets. was wondering if 36k is ok or not; already calculated think all in all we might be spending close to 60k. now i have to decide which is the most impt thing to work on....quite tough; cos seems like everything also impt gonna crack my head tonight. Nevertheless 1 gd new, finally my TO together with the window contractor and my HB went to point out all the defects not done yet. My ID tiler was there to measure the height of the screeding; making sure everything is in good order. *Heng* they did it correctly. Now pend the window contractor to finish up all the things then i can start renovating liao

i tot new HDB reno guideline is no plastering allowed for ceilings???

well my list was also submitted 1 wk earlier than u and also nothing much has been done. so fed up with them. just imagine my list has already excluded theose tile areas i intend to hack away, they already take so long to do the minor ones. i also duno how. just hope that by the time i finish discussing with my ID on the design & pricing, the rectifications have been done.

hi i also asked my ID abt this quartz thingy, but seems that locally not so well known compared to the other materials available, was thinking maybe go website find more info to show him. My ID suggested me to use granite for my top. Apparently this quartz material is better than those solid top & granite.
