Smallboy 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) From Wendy: I told hubby I WILL accept the door. Sian... no point changing.... it is not at the front. Aiya, wont see so much, behind closed doors. I can't stand things changing and changing........... I feel heartache for lost of money, lost of man hours... energy and time and $$$, though we am not paying. Cutting another tree to make this door perfect is not my cup of tea...... already I chop down many trees with many rectifications already. :) ....... give and take lor! And a word of fairness....... not every mistake is the carpentry guys fault. Sometimes it is instructions not communicated to them. Sometimes, Jason did not tell them.......... (like the handles part).........what in the world was he thinking? changed our design and really did not tell us. We got a shock when we first see it. Then we accept his 'theory' that his is better. But after 2 weeks, (our brains a bit slow)....we found the theory not right lei....... we questioned him and then he go and add 1 more long handle...... SIGH. The carpentry people sent 1 guy to do up the door swee swee....... they did great. So must credit to them a word of goodness and fairness too.

kthc 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 Hi Wendy, Thanks for showing us your place yesterday and your tip about using our own measurements for the cabinets. You guys have a very nice place and congrats on your (soon to end) renovation:) Been to Sin Lek yesterday and the boss was very nice to show us around even though it was near closing time and we've nearly finalised our tile choices even without getting a quotation yet. I'll try contacting Ah Soon when he's back but we may go with either Yeak or others (any other recommendations?) because don't really have the time to project manage. Personally for the defect, I'll get it changed, especially if you'll open the cabinet quite often. My current home, also had a few defects which I closed one eye to because I just wanted to settle the renovation quick but even after 5 years already, my eyes will naturally look at those spots and I'll sigh.... Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. Personally we have met up with a few ID/contractors, so far only Ah soon and Yeak pricing are competitive...just have to remember both of them are more of contractors than ID...so it'll be good to have some ideas of your own and discuss with them for its practicality as they are quite experienced....

Cheers. Hi, nice meeting you and your wife. So nice of you to bring muffins. Aiyo... so 'ke-qi"........ appreciate your muffins. Give yourself time to contact ID or contractor. dont need to rush with the tiles yet. You can check out Halfary too. As long as you have an idea of the tiles, great. For kitchen, the height of my oven to the floor (from the floor, includ the skirting) is 135cm. I took this measurement from IKEA but prob cut a few cm here and there. My suggestion in planning out your kitchen is to go ikea - look see look see, touch here and there. Very fun. This will give you an idea of space planning for kitchen. Check out BLUM website too. Even Ikea website has space planning software. Try that out. That's how I planned my kitchen. As for Ah Soon, dont be quick to knock him off yet. There are many good things he did too. I am just being objective in stating the good and bad. Every reno works also face the same hussle. Now I am going to blog about the BAD, GOOD and FUNNY in the coming days. I had quite a few giggling moments when I noted how he speak to his workers. The BAD is a combination of project mgt, a new carpentry contractor(for my house and somemore, my house got so much carpentry work.....) communication bet him/Jason to his workers. The GOOD is legendary ........ like his price, his easy going nature, his commitment to quality. I hope he can iron out the current bottleneck of rectifications......... I heard he may be employing more site/projects managers. Hope this helps too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's $55 from Pantech, comes in 3 sizes, silver/white/good/black exterior. I got the medium one, it's very bright, it can be quite glaring if the glass is not frosted in the middle and you happen to look up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The toilet light is from Extreme Lightings....... it is just nice for the size of my toilets. It costs $$35. Not sure if it is the same size as lawry's.
