Smallboy 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Here are some pics (which we are waiting for): Kitchen (BEFORE): Kitchen (NOW......... my very white kitchen): Common Toilet: My wife said she didn't like this... regret choosing the tiles this way....... should have put the darker tiles with the green mosic........ sigh.. but well, it is done... no regrets now. Carpentry at the 2 rooms (almost done soon): The 'blue sky' is for my daughter's room. Think will do just white for my mom's room. Dont think old people want to see the sky when they sleep.... hee..hee... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 haha Ivy I didn't notice the Tai Ko until you mentioned then I scroll up to see again. I think the question should be why would anyone name their company that. Esp Chinese companies since they would know what it means. Wendy... Glad that your carpentry is going your way. Take care ah, Smallboy was mentioning that you are exhausted from checking on them all the time. it's going to be over soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted April 21, 2009 Smallboy Dun need to depend on them for inspection one, cos they will not do a thorough job. I paid for plastering too, but they missed out the part abt the skirtings totally. Some parts of my wall also quite patchy. Just tell them exactly where and they will touch up n repaint ivy $1800 is quite ok, urs is 5rm somemore. mine was $1600 for my 4A inclusive of ceiling.
