Hihi Smallboy,

Your layout is quite similar to mine too. May I know roughly how much you spend on the floor and wall tiling of your kitchen and bathrooms? Hee..

Thanks!!

I got Ariston's FZ 61.1 IX. I can't remember the price cos i got it as a whole package at slightly over 2k. I can find out when I go back home and have a look at the invoice.

We are quite upset today because Ah Soon has forgotten to shift my aircon pipe after 3-4 reminders. Now with all the false ceiling up, it will be impossible to do it without tearing them down. Meeting him today at 5 to discuss alternative..... We have also reminded Jason a couple of times on the fixtures (pipe, taps etc) but they still get it wrong. At least the fixtures could be easily changed. Will update again this evening.

So friends, these are signs that our Ah Soon is overloaded and may be starting to lag in his work.

The key is to constantly monitor and engage them during the renovation. Otherwise the cost of correction will be too high downstream. Thus far, the tilers are good but the electrician a bit blur. Went through our requirement for 3 times before he gets it right.

Mistakes do occur, it is only natural. I'm fine if he takes responsibility and correct it. That is more important.

Yes, the carpentry works are mine. Today, the walk-in-wardrobe is 3/4 up. Some minor changes needed for the wiw but my wife loves it (which is most important) . The common wardrobes and dining sideboard are also in but not put up yet. So things are on schedule for next Saturday "mini" open-house. Guess Ah Soon will be pushing his guy to get the things ready as well.

Ah Soon didn't turn up today because he is unwell. Jason came and gave some ideas. Don't think the air-con thingy could be corrected now with the wiw up. Got to look at alternatives.

sigh.

haha! seems like it's inevitable that every of ah soon's customer will have some displeasure with the electrician. U r not alone!

ur aircon trunking cannot move, so how's the alternative going on?
