The white powder coated grills will set be back by another 1.9K... yup $3.5K for all windows and grilles and the price quoted is for casement windows if i dun hear uncle wrongly. Now that I am using all sliding he'll probably dock a bit off for me again. Your quote came from ID or direct from windows contractor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cos dun forget they need to factor in the contractor's profit, the designer's cut of the profit plus the ID company's cut of the profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From Wendy. aiyoh your poor fingers... did uncle do acid wash for you on your floor tiles huh?? the LSH lady told me my living room tiles cannot acid wash. Ain't uncle's workers suppose to help u clean off the paint marks? Just now evening I went up my tiling works are about 90% completed le. Even the front access area is done. what's left is just some small corners and the kitchen wall tiles. So far I've not heard from Jason yet, when I called uncle just now he said Jason should be contacting me soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wah.. like very jialat. Can request Ah Soon to clean up after replacing tiles and to clean up the stains for you? Dun get addicted to thinner leh.. haha Anyway got a quote from Alan le which did not contain all my requests but already relatively steep as compared to your renno sum considering the amount of your works done. Hope can get cheaper after negotiation with Ah Soon. Tad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smallboy 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Ivy and Tad, Uncle did acid wash for only areas which can take it. For cleaning up, his workers just clean the obvious. I cant stand lots of mini polka dots on the edges of the room. so got to clean it myself lor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivy 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 Just got back from my Mid Day check. Today the tilers are suppose to put up the kitchen wall tiles and complete the tiling works by end of the day. Unfortunately, by mid day the wall tiles are still not delivered. The tilers told me they almost fall asleep waiting for the tiles. They've completed my front foyer tiling. Here is a peek at how the tiles look like : As the place cardboards on the tiles to protect the tiles, thus I only manage to take a corner of the whole tiling job. Let's hope that the wall tiles arrive soon and not waste the workers' time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivy 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 How thick should wall skirting be? I think the tilers made mine too fat. When I look at it, I can't help but feel that the thickness is very "outstanding" I use my finger to measure then came back to office to use ruler to measure my finger, wahhh the thickness is about 2.5cm leh. (the slanted length on top). I asked the tiler, he told me it's bcos my walls are not even and the walls are not plastered yet. He says after plastering, it'll look slimmer cos the plaster will be of certain thickness. Not sure whether they are smoking me or not, plastering of wall got so thick meh? Anyway I called to feedback to uncle, told him they made my skirting "bui bui". He said he'll go up and take a look later. Do you think it looks thick?
