I saw it somewhere in the net. Really a granite sink. I will ask the id tomo how much it cost. I am sure very very expensive! Please share with me if you know about granite lay, finishing.... Thanks. HAPPY

Hi Cindy, you already found your contractor? Already confirmed? If you wont mind, how much he/she quote you?

Talk to my neighbour today, (floor also granite), she told me she see how they do. After they lay the granite, they use a machine (not big one), and grind the edges and sides to make it smooth. Is it true?? Anybody can confirm??

Hi FEL Thanks for your encouragement and moral support. Yes, I feel stress indeed. Especially when I talked to my neighbour (already signed!!). Pay 1st installment, and want to cancel 1 items from the list (cost about $1,400++). But was told that it is the package, and can return only $1k. Means you have to pay them some sort of penalty of $400+++. My neighbour say no choice liao, what to do, already sign and ask them to do. Yes, for showroom and that is why lots of designs and features to let new customers see. But then, if everyday facing the design/features, I will feel bored. hehehehe... Anyway I am going to draft out the letter and email to them saying I am dont want their service anymore. That will relieve my stress. Really I feel very stress when talking to them.

Yes your are right. And I am those who wash cloths every weekend until full load. But the 3 metal stick (outside the window) not enough. So, need some bomboo stick and just hang it up. I need at least 5 bamboo post. For the retractable stick (inside the window), I intend to take it out and maybe see whether any wall to drill into it. But then keep looking at the floor plan, seem that no wall for me to drill!! I also thought of buying a dryer, but then, space is the problem!

Yes my mum decide to bring it down. Buy those (I dont know the name) to hang bamboo stick.

Hi Lin, From 1st Aug until now, about 2 week plus, I wil talk to the ids, some give quotation, some did not reply back, some give quotation too general....need to do comparision. Going to meet another 4 id this weekend. Yesterday rec' a call from them, he wanted me to go down and look at the materials and granites tiles. I told him I will fax his quotation with the items I want. He seem to know and told me the design and material use is best one. This evening, I am going to send email to him to cancel off his services. I am now making a first rejection to the contractors. More to come.....so that I can zoom down the shortlisted ids/contractors. I think homemakers is my first contractors to be drop off from my list. Reason is they emphasie on designs (which I am not fancy of), and quotation is roughy drafted out. And no measurement. Many loopholes. By talking with them and my neighours makes me feel that they are trying to close the deal asap. So, I am going to drop them off my list.

My mum wanted to take away the rack as the basin is at the corner. So, on top, she will want to have a top cabinet. And to replace this, she need to buy those metal holder to bomboo stick. So, means have extra in length for cabinet. How about that??

Hello GnM Thanks! For indian granite, I intend to use it as kitchen top and probably granite sink (I found it somewhere here). And for flooring, I wanted to find one which is very light in colour and very less tiny black dot. No lah, not big budget. Only move in condition, no design/features wall. So, intend to spend a little bit more on flooring. I have been searching the web: For kitchen top; Saphire Blue, Emerald Peral, Blue Pearl, Black galaxy, Steel grey or Verde Ubtuba..... For flooring: Kashmir White, Implerial White..... I am still checking and hopefully the above will not cost a bomb. My budget is around $4 to $8 per feet. Any suggestions???

Hi Everybody As I am choosing granite for my whole floor: living, bedroom, dinning room, any one can give me some suggestions on choosing the granite. So far, I have learn that granites range from $3.50 to $50 per ft. And is there any granite (I mean the code) for a lighter colour? Such as white with light pink or green or blue. My neighbours took 801 code, then there is tys, white peal. Please advise. Thanks. HAPPY

33?? That is amazing..... Yes money is ours. We are the one who live in. Thanks.

Thanks! Cantona!!

hahah.. good one never appear in the new flats. Thru recommendation. They dont need to touts and knock on pple's door. Yes scary than 7th month. At least 7th month ghost wont do like that!

oic, maybe you meet before....heheheh... I mean pass by each other in the market or ntuc. So you are in blk 33 or 31? Anyway, when I get my key, I let you know so that you n your family can come and take a look. Btw, still searhing for reliable contractors with good worksmanship. You already have in mind??

Hi LIN NO I am not staying in commonwealth view. Mine is Jalan Membina. I will take note of this when I get my keys and those pple follow you from behind. And those pple ask you who reno your house. Good idea as you said, my brother in charge, anything, call him. lol.

Hi BRAINSTORM I dont know if what my friend tell me is true or not. He told me it is better not to approach those who always station below the new flats touting for customers. They got link to each other. And if you ask them quotation and then drop all of them, they will make things h..e..ll for your new flats. That really freak me out. Now I have 3 appointment this weekend, I am not sure want to go or not.

Hi LIN Thanks. Yes homemaker is indeed the cheapest I find comparing to others. But then when I look closely the item, most of them has missing link. Such as no measurement, etc.... Especially same price but different feet!

...if..... My friend told me not to call too many contractors. I ask why? Cos' if some contractors give quotation to you and you decided to drop him, he will do nasty thing to you such as spoilt your metal gate, open the water, etc.. to make **** to your new home. He ask me better stop now. What should I do? Is what he say is true? So far, 4 id quoted for me. The rest still waiting for their quote. I feel uneasy and scare.

Hi Xlan You live in blk 29?

Hi RED Thanks for your info. So far 3 id has quote me. And I can say HomeMakers price is attractive. But, but only cancel out all teh design/features wall, false & lbox lights... I dont need those. But then when comparing against 4 & 5 room, aiyo, I think they do it in haste. Many things never type in. So, I might call them tomorrow and send the quotation back to them with the items I dont want. I am sure their face will drop. Why? Cos' no design/features involved!! What I want is move in condition only. Only then I can see their attitude!

I went there last sunday very late. Manage to talk to 2 id. 1 is ***** & the other is Arts & Thots. Are they ok?

Hi Guys If the contractor only got reg no. only. And behind the card Associated With 2 companies: with...2 hdb licence renovation/interior design. And another 3 companies name without any hdb licence printed. Is it ok??? Please advise. The current contractor I amtalking with just have reg no.

Hi DEV Yes, that is what I want: 1) Kitchen cabinet. 2) Tiolets 3) floor Just to keep it simple, plain and cozy!

Hi SMALL Your theme is simple but practical. So are you referring to 'Move In Condition'? or Design/Featuers included? Just for info, I opt for move in condition and not fancy about design/features. That will really cut cost alot.

Which id you sign on with, care to share with us or pm me?? I am still searching high and low and undergroud.
