lushbelle 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 I have moved back to Sengkang today. OMG, i nearly break my back, think i am getting on already, cant stress my back too much already. Total items moved- 1 fridge, 1 washing machine, 1 mattress, 2 chest of drawers, 2 TV, 1 TV rack, 9 big cartons, 4 med cartons.. total - $300. I managed to unpack half and make my room comfortable now. Next thing i still have to go back n clear whatever is left behind.. arghh... Imagine i have to moved again another 2 months later!!!! i just have to keep throwing things away in order to keep everything as little as possible! Oh, i still havent receive the quotation from the contractor yet, why do they take forever to get back to me?? Previously i email to Patrick from Ho bee, he never get back to me at all, my friend a contractor never borther to call me back after i called, sms him.. Is business that good huh?? hmmm....

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 hahaha Patrick you must call him, then fax it to him immediately then will come back fast. Cos he not in the office, his men also rarely in the office cos all out looking at projects. I'm sure if you take him on you'll want to find him at your house and not at the office reading emails ma. Contractors dun have blackberry. Only IDs reply a bit faster... But IDs... well dun have idea can have IDs la. I have to agree with the rest, i first time see all the walls are beams one. Good luck with Reno! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those with solid black lines cannot be hacked down wor. Why not eat inside the kitchen? Perhaps you can save the $ for dining table and incorporate something like a perm table in the kitchen?

skywolf 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2008 My balcony is a very gd eg... think no black lines but read similiar stories from RT tt it's unhack-able. End up decided to save the cost of even engaging a PE coz high chance will get rej. And you have to pay the PE upfront too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2008 Maybe build half the kitchen only then put a table near the entrance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lushbelle 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2008 MY contractor had actually mentioned to me that some old flats' beams are hackable but must request for permit.. headache.. eating in the kitchen is fine with us.. but i am just thinking of alternatives.. sigh..
