gadgetgal 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2007 Hi, Gadgetgal...May I know what is the waterproofing for? And what is the purpose? THank you.Waterproofing is for kitchen or wet areas (like toilet) so as to protect any water to sip or leak to your neighbours downstairs.For 4-rm flat owner with HDB tiles in the kitchen, owner can't hack (as it will damage the waterproofing and/or flooring underneath,which in turn may cause leakage to your neighbour downstairs). haha.. I believe so !!Hi GADMine goes like this, and there are slight amendments that I make compare to my id quote.

The only option to make your kitchen/toilet nicer is only overlay, but that is going to cost a bomb! is your kitchen sink granite? what's the price? It's around $94 per foot run,actually some other renovator quoted $90 pfr (which is normal), my mistake as I didn't nego for this and I overlooked this item. kena katok around $80 for whole kitchen.Hey GADThanks for your info.Now I roughly know why my concrete support so expensive.My id quoted me L shape.
