GMC 12 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 And yes, we will be installing grilles and windows at the recess area. And porkypig is right, it's gg to burn another hole in the pocket but little choice. HDB still not get back to ID whether they can get the railing or not. 3wks liao, still no response. ID called the Technical Officer and the TO also says dun no. The railing @ the recess can be removed. I've done it before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nath.adrie 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 Not as fast and smooth as I want. Plastering job is rather slow with only 1 or 2 workers working daily. The boss told me they have to apply 3 layers of plaster instead of 2 coz my walls are too uneven. Before they start work, they told me can finish plastering and painting by Sunday (12 Oct 08). Now tell me that can only start painting tomorrow and hopefully can finish 1st coat for the upper level by 13 Oct 08. And there are also some issues between my ID and this plastering contractor... Any, shall skip that. Here are some more photos: Meters shifted. Doesn't look that good, but can't really do much. Electrical and water meters cannot go side by side. Maybe next time, when the new technology comes out, don't even need meters. Still thinking should I box up the pipes. No budget. Plastering (lower floor) - 1st layer only. Yet to dry. Plastering (MBR) Plastering (Study Rm) Plastering (Bedroom) - Scaffolding needed to reach the tall places... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
