Hi ryuki, When I saw you at 79C during the weird hour, I knew it is not easy to get back the deposit. The best timing to ask for deposit is when their shop is packed with customers during weekend like today. No point approaching them when their shop is empty or you will be played out again. It will be good to make use of the presence of their NEW potential customers to pressure for the deposit. They will try to protect their image and might issue you a refund. Use some nice words like "not able to meet that ID, he seems to be avoiding me", "I can't wait as my company SPH need me to be out stationed soon (let them think u are working in Press sector)". Don't have to raise your voice, if ID not around (Best) ask them to call him on phone to verify. Hope that you don't get me wrong, I am not asking you to create a scence. All the best in getting back your Money.

Thanks a_star, I will see any other way to prevent that.

Hi 79ers, Can I check with you guys, are we allow to seal up the service Sanitary ducts as showed below? This can be found at the kitchen beam just below the cloth hanger. Does anyone else sealed up this area like I did. Please advise as I don't think this is the right way, should I ask my ID to change? Thanks in advance. Rachel

Hi chocofudge, Have you compare Alumix with Stolmen Pole system from IKEA? Thinking of DIY with IKEA Stolmen system. The cost of the main post cost around $55 each and the shelves will cost around $20 to $30. I think it should be cheaper than Alumix. Any advice or comments on the IKEA system? Rachel

Hi Mrs_Png, Thanks for sharing the price & the info. In fact the cost of those "Free Gifts" are all factored into the package. !! We found it too good to be true when we received the quotation and begin to feel a bit worry of the workmanship and hidden costs. So far the reno had been going quite smoothly and fast, better pray hard on the final look.

Hi Mrs_Png, May I know how much you paid for down light? It is single tube or double tube and where u get it from? Thanks Rachel

Hi gadgetman, Thanks for the rough guide. I will ask my ID to quote. by the way does your mirror come with wooden backing? Nice foyer area and water fixture you having. Hope to visit your house somday.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what will be rough cost of installing a frameless full height mirror (6ft x 8ft)? I am intent to install one in the dinner area. Any advices or comments will be great appreciated. Rachel

Yes my flat is currently done by them now. My ID is quite an easy going guy and we are comfortable with him. They are pretty fast & the workmanship is acceptable. So far no complain yet, hope my reno will work out quite smoothly.

Hi Jacky777 Kitchen top solid surface was quoted at $65 pfr. Internal material of wardrobe was not discussed, so not sure abt material use. Yes just signed with *spam*.

Finally signed up with *spam* (*** Design) on 5th Mar, hope that my choice is correct. So far, everything seems in schedule. They had shifted the sand, cement and tiles up on Friday. Laying of floor area should be able to start on Monday. Quite impress with their service so far. On-site final quote on Tue and later same day tile choosing in Balestier Road. As I can't make up my mind on which tiles, then my ID help in asking samples from 2 shops to bring back. After testing the samples with maker pen and coffee stains, I had my name signed on the dotted line on Wed. Then my ID told us he will schedule sand and tiles to be up on Fri so that laying can start on Mon. At first I don't buy his words but after checking my flat on Sat afternoon, well quite true I saw the sand, cements and tiles laying in my flat. And so far only 10% payment was paid. That is what I call service. !! Let hope everything will go on smoothly as planned.
