hi there, really empathise with ur situation. All because of this unscrupulous contractor, spoiling ur whole reno.

while reading, feel like giving the contractor FEW tight slaps for his replies.

If I'm in your shoes, i will ask the contractor to rectify those issues before handover. If he starts to grumble and nag or choose not to rectify, will let him know that I can simply call up those gossipy papers like Shin Min or The New Paper to let them publish the horrible works he done and help his company to publize. Many people will be able to view the photos of his "good" workmanship.

And i admire ur patience for putting up with this rubbish contractor.

Hahaha~ we already told him that liao lo. Hubby said he will "make him famous" if he continues to chu pattern loh. I was laughing like mad when I heard that coming from Hubby loh. He's usually very soft-spoken and patient one (you know when he can put up with me, the demanding wife. )

Anyway!! Seems like official handover last Saturday. I will review our unit again, and see if I can faster get him out of my life!!!!! We need to move on.

i finally finish reading thru your post loh..

but one thing i don understand is, how come you have 2 ids doing your house at the same time?

That contractor from **** and also an ID called Henry?

Cuz first contractor not good so I "fired" him!!!!! I don't want to have him touching on my carpentry works, end up only he thinks nice.

Contractor is doing all works except carpentry and Henry took over the understanding works loh.

i think she got no choice as she need to move in early . . .

Ya loh... heartpain my $$$ only.

But we still play him until jialiat jialiat, ask him to rectify this and that. Hahaha~ he must be thinking - rushing liao still want me to rectify everything. Thought can anyhow handover... end up lagi jialiat.

Hahahaha...

what agony! what patience!

your official letter is great warning!

best of luck

Thank you!

Use of singlish

I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh at all the singlish and funny english esp. "eat full no **** do", "'father debt son pay' also correct de", "we paisey one time, they paisey forever".

You all weave them so naturally into your posts.

Evil contractor

I had also suffered tremendously under an evil contractor whom my stupid husband went to pay 11k upfront before any work was done, but his mouth was not so clever. He just kept hanging up on us.

My relationship with my husband suffered. It's just never the same again, for the worse. And the bad works stay with us for as long as we live in this unit.

Smart mouth

Now that I'm abit older, I've learnt that for people with a smart mouth, you must also scold them back. If not they'll think you don't know how to argue and take advantage of you. If you scold them back, even if it's one time, they'll think twice before they shoot anything again. I always ask myself what I would tell the other party if he or she is my elder sister because when I quarrel with my elder sister, I'll be very fierce and harsh. Although I won't be as harsh, but at least I let the other party know I also got temper. But like what my mother said, we should think about what we want to scold and the counter-lines. If not, will run out of things to say.

Door

Regarding doorframes, I remember a forummer said the contractor quoted him the cost of doors. On the day of installation, the contractor told him must add in the cost of doorframes. I think that's also very 'ke wu'. How would layman like us know they never add in the doorframe cost when they quote for the door?

Karma

I also heard from my husband that he once had a everybody-hate superior in the army during his NS. They always cursed that his son will have no anus. In the end, his newborn son really got no anus.
