gumbokins 5 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 hihi newbie alert!bought a 4-rm resale at tampines (because of baby lah), still undergoing renovations, looks like going to be homeless this Hari Raya. in the meantime, living out of a suitcase at my parent's house. so poor thing hor? lolanyways, we engaged an electrician to rewire the whole house, but they had to go through the old cornice in the bedrooms, leaving some gaping holes here and there. my ID is still a bit sore that i didn't use his overpriced electrician, and insists that i fix the holes in the cornice myself. i suppose the electrician should have done it, but he also go and taiji to my ID. anybody has any idea if this is something i can do myself, or if they know anybody who can do it cheap?
