My Id Is Not Willing To Give Me Pergo Or Vohringer
porkypig replied to alan26's topic in RENOVATION WORKS
Hopefully he doesn't compromise on the rest of the reno works materials.. Do remember, if you add in more items like carpentry and etc, he will chop you back..hehe.. Usually it is the best to confirm everything before signing on the dotted line, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we will add in or amend items..so there is no win win situations... -
it depends on salesman and shops..u can try Poh Joo @ Lavendar, Hoe Kee @ Jalan Besar or Chuan Heng @ Jalan Besar..

you can also try the NTUC(not HDB hub branch), there is makeshift shop o/s or Blk 177 furniture shop near the pawn shop.. I dun think i wld compromise on a $0.80 key, what if it breaks into two when you are opening the lock? more problems..

Only problem i noticed is that, if you have the heater turned on and someone in kitchen is washing and accidentally turn the tap to the hot water side, you find hot water coming out and that's such a waste (the pipes from the heater to the kitchen tap is all filled with hot water accidentally) sigh.. Not really...I hv put stop valves at all my pipings. So i have actually shut off all hot water lines except the toilet lines... save hot water for the

There is a standard altar height if you want to custom make.. I have asked the ppl @ Rochor Centre and they are willing to measure and tell me.. Otherwise, the carpenter should hv a "Feng Shui Chi" to measure the "auspicious height...

Hi, What abt lighting point @ Vanity top? PE Fee for hacking work?? Price psf for tiles so you know what range you can chose... Looking @ the $2.5K for laminates, shld be looking @ Supreme or kronotex.. What abt painting for door frames, lacquer for doors, pipes and etc if any?? Shld state clearly.. Every little details should be stated so that you wouldn't get cheated.. Probably you can get a quote from windows installers to check are you being rip apart? Because most ID will also approach them and sub the job to them.. Do note that even if you managed to bargain for any items before you signed on the dotted line, don't be too happy, any additional items you add on during reno work, they will rip you back..

You are not the first..my friend LCD panel broke down and the 3rd party service centre said he has to wait for 3 wks+ for Samsung to SHIP the replacement part. My friend did not buy that and he talked to the manager and said that he don't care and he wants his TV back in a week if not he will post this bad service rendered by a top korean brand in the Straitstimes forum. Guess what Samsung DHL the panel over and he got his TV on time. Sometimes we have to use the hard way to remind them that customer rights is always the first..

Rainshower has to go with storage tank due to it can pump water @ a much higher pressure than instant water heater. Therefore you get the "rain shower". but the con is you hv to wait ard 15 mins to get hot water. I have it in my current hm.. Instant water heater as the name says, it provides instant hot water but pressure is lower than storage tank. Water heater from city gas is also the same as instant water heater except it use gas to heat up the water. And the same normal water pressure..

For using of oil paint: Use a roller would be better to get an even coat of oil paint not recommended to use brush to paint. Because the surface will look wrinked when it drys up. coz oil paint will takes a longer time(~16 hrs) to dry. After running through the pipes with roller, you can use the brush to run through the surface once (top to bottom motion) to get a smooth surface.. Try not paint the hinges or lockset of the doors. It would affect the door closing motion and plus next time it would be easier to remove the doors if you need to replace them.. another thing, if the original door is those wood grain type, most probably you need to use base coat(ard $7 bucks) first before you paint the colour you wanted.
