familyof4 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Met uncle today to check the tiles...gosh, he was an hour late! I rushed down from work and had to wait for him for an hour...tired arh!!! Anyways, yesterday's debris was cleared. Here's what I have today... the tiles.... the shutter guy came down today and met uncle and they discussed on how the work for him should be carried out and they reached a conclusion. I am glad, I saved 500 bucks by spending 20 minutes (online and calling) Edited April 29, 2009 by familyof4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

booy 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2009 Your console is very worth it indeed! He sounds very pro and confident while talking to me... Agree that most ID just copy and paste anyway.. So contractor and ID might not make a diff in terms of design in the end.. Your house doesn't look so much like a war zone today.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
