porkypig 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Hehehe. They are going to remove the grilles first then hack away the tiles. They are just afraid that there will not be enough space to fit the grilles back, with the extra cement and different tiles. ask them to try their best bah...hehe...

Angel81 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 oh dear, what happened to my post....repeated so many times. sorry to 'bomb' your thread. Yup, my wc is using P-trap. How come your contractor said it cant be done. From the look of it, your seller's wc piping like a long way from the main piping. Wonder if big biz would be able to travel all the way to where its supposed to go. Heee..... I'll try to snap a pic and show u. Haiz.. Duno if it's cannot or if it can't be done. But u r rite, that big biz pipe travels from the P-trap to under the sink to the main pipe. Can't imagine if the poop stuck in the middle. hahahaha... So i guess must get one that the flushing power very good. hehe.. Thanks very much! Hope that with the pic, my contractor will be able to find a way to change the location. ask them to try their best bah...hehe... Hehe, yeah, got tell the contractor liao. Really hope can reuse. At least it'll be the same type and can save money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 mmm do you intend to have kids soon? hehe actually hor the kitchen is a dangerous place itself. So should put a child-barrier at the kitchen opening... so for the first few years your child may not enter the kitchen at all. mm my two cents la. But you are right. if you intend to have kids then must plan. Though grilles can always come later if you don't have the cash now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wah.. The grilles are always very x. Signz.. Yupz, just came back fro SBH. We actually went some time back, and saw a couple of items that we like, so decided to go back again to c c loh. Haiz.. The tiles that we like for shower area is like super x. $8psf. Most probs won't top up, but may get a similar one bah. Didn't get any samples from SBH, cuz didn't see much that we like. Even for those that we quite like, they are of weird sizes. And we'll have to search for similar size ones to match them. Will upload pics of those that we did take samples of tml. Cables are in office. yup yup! One reason why I'm not keen on a maisonette, although I would love to get one if I dun have kids... but when kids come along, even choosing furnitures and fixtures, i'm also looking at those with rounded corners and no glass.. haha Hehe.. What to do.. My hb & I love EMs. Even w/out the stairs, 1 level homes are also filled with accident prone areas. So decided to just go ahead with it loh. Just be more careful in future loh.

But I don't think we'll be boxing them up. He'll need to box them up horizontally and vertically woh. Think we'll just leave it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still don't understand why cannot shift the wc inside, did you seek second opinion? I just sent the pics to another contractor to ask him loh. But a bit paiseh to ask also, as we have already decided not to award the job to him due to quotation price. Just leave it, boxing up will cost u a lot. Carpentry is the most ex. Haha, yah loh. No point boxing them up since they are so obvious. Just told the contractor to tidy up the pipes loh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
