kajua 1 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Also went down to the house to take a look, the windows are up! and the toilet walls are done!! The windows were really nicely done up. i like the very good job they did at the joints...every smooth. My MBR toilet shower area A kinda retro looking tile The balcony floor tiles were also already done. Really impress how evenly it was done. The gap between tiles was really small alsoMy solid sink support was also coming up Thats the poor uncle working alone to day. The other one went back to Malaysia for voting The place he is tiling is behind my kitchen cabinet. Was really impressed even these hidden tiles, they take time and care to do it properly Edited March 8, 2008 by kajua Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kajua 1 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 hi kajua your kitchen light very futuristic lookinglove the mbr bathroom shower area tiles too, really hi applefreak, yeah, really glad to find that light. my FH likes those bare florescent lights but i don't like. although he let me choose what i like but i tot he should get something he likes too... so the kitchen light design sort of compromise bah.... only thing is need to apply a layer of car wax to prevent the metal piece from rusting.Kajua, yr bedroom lights are the same as mine. Hehehe... not my new hse... but the one i'm staying w parents now. So qiao~! skywolf, really!! very qiao wor that light was recommended by the staff. he said if we like bright lights, should get something with clear glass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darrenelle 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) Hi Darrenelle,ya ya, if not for the price constraint, guess i won't be able to make a decision on which tiles to choose saw your blog, the way u wrote about the quotation so funny... hehehe.... anyway, won't be surprise about such a huge difference in pricing. when we first ask for quotations, a couple of IDs also told us no 40k cannot be done, one even told us no 60k cannot well, glad that we got ideal house to do our reno. so far very satisfied with their service. provide good updates on the progress. Hi Kajuai am still a bit confused with renotalk... Anyway, Steven and Max was late that Monday we met up at my new home. However, I was still comfortable with their services. Never did I expect the quote came up so high!! !! Anyway, we still can't decide how should we go about with our layout. hi darrenelle, welcome to compassvale greenwhich block are you staying? we have the exact same layout Hi applefreak, I am at blk 299B! =) Edited March 16, 2008 by darrenelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you can roughly share with us what you were quoted for and we can advise u if the quote is reasonable... You could have been quoted for a lot more things than what we did...

kajua 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2008 Went down to our nest on Friday (Good Friday holiday) figuring since it was public holiday, no work being done so we can look through without getting into the way of the workers...When we reached there, saw the windows open and radio music coming out from the unit . Thought what happened....open the door saw the worker doing up the cornice at 4-5pm on a public holiday!Sigh no more look through to our hearts content without getting in the workers way The tiles were done!! The gap between filled up liao...nice and white...though i think with so much work going on still, gonna turn brown eventually....The gas pipe and water pipe were also laid and mountedRead from another posting in the Ideal House thread about how Mr K plumber cracked quite a few tiles putting up the pipes so went around checking the tiles. Was a bit worriedFirst tile we checked...CRACKED! Though minor and quite hard to see cause using white tiles with line patterns but cracked still. So panic!!! So hurry and check the rest....lucky only that particular one cracked The rest all no cracked at the pipe holder there . So only 1 out of all, not bad....My FH notice that the one that was cracked the drilling was done to the middle of the tile (no choice due to position of pipe), while the rest of the holder were done between tiles or near the edge. Maybe thats why it crackedMy FH says that cracked tile is at the washing machine area and will be hidden behind the washing machine, so most likely we wont ask them to changed. But gonna check with Steven if can ask his worker to be more careful...lucky the black tiles in MBR toilet not cracked cause cracks there will be very obviousAnyway still got to mount my taps and stuff...fingers crossed -Celest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kajua 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 i suppose they will mend the crack? thanks for sharing. 1 thing to note when my turn comes. =)I am not sure if it will be mended or can be mended. You can see fine crack lines radiating out from the place they drill. The tile itself is still mostly okay. Anyway next time we go check will bring a torch light and maybe take a picture. Maybe have to check with the forumer who posted about Mr K plumber cracking their tiles, how it was rectified-Celest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
