lol don't be jealous la... Workers who are willing to work on PH and Sundays are very few... cannot spread them around so many hours... oh ya. growler, I'm the one who went to kaypoh your blog and leave comments. haha

My group of tilers are mainly malaysians. I asked Uncle if they can speed up over the weekend but he said he don't want to risk it... This is one the subcontractors that he used. Not his own worker, so different i guess ....

Re blog: Yes i know Thank you for visiting

haha yes it's probably the quieter works which is why the tiler is allowed to do. Carpentry is very noisy you know..

Aubrey... I'm parking here waiting for photos..........

ya loving the new pipe! its so clean and slim! i love my new white windows too. let me post pic for u. ah so u forgot and now cant change cos that will mean damaging the tiles near it right.. got it.. i love my nicely plastered walls! but so not used to it. still used to my old pig sty with its uneven walls.

most of my neighbours are long time ppl we see around, they are rather understanding hence so far no complaints. lets hope it stays that way!

growler

i think the malaysian workers are better, do u wanna trade with my group? i can speak to uncle.

You saw the tiling works in my blog? Now they've applied the grouting. Once covered, can't really see the gaps, so i guess will just give and take ...

Your tilers are ok mah ... why change? The best thing is that they're willing to work on the weekends to speed up the works. Mine are subcontractors so they don't really want to work over the weekends .... (unless Uncle tells them lar ...)

[familyof4 0]

i agree with growler. I also saw some unsightly gaps till the groutings done, it looks much better...wait for it to be done and if really unacceptable, tell uncle about it.

It's good to working with Jeremy - luckily, bad things did not happen to me! Btw, what's the review? I've just recommend Jeremy to my friend. I'd be better if I let him know the thread, then he can decide and take his responsibility

Let me find my cable, then upload photo Anyway, my kitchen design is different from yours. My is fridge - hob -sink- washer on straight line, and dining in the kitchen.

[pinkpetter 0]

mmm yup with grouting it definitely looks much better. It doesn't look like it's jutting out..

pet! so sorry if u have been camping for pictures! just realised that i did not bring my card reader to office and its a crazy monday. my email at work is down! thought can do less work but now have to do more by calling everyone to send email to my personal email add. growl! will have to go home to upload it.

familyof4

yup pretty smooth sailing! i cant complain. uncle's men and uncle are such nice kind people, best thing is my house is getting better bit by bit. btw, do u have pics of your kitchen floor tiles? they delivered the wrong ones to me and i am waiting for the right ones, taking some time. and i have not seen it as uncle recommended me to get yours.

growler

my master tiler is the best, he is meticulous, i like it as i am into details. the rest are ok, but just a little slow. i offered to trade cos u said u wanted them to work over the weekends.

my grouting is not done yet, i hope they know to match the tiles with the correct color for grout.

michele

the post i am talking about is here: CLICK

i cant speak since i did not use him. but if ur experience was good, then perhaps its a one off case. either way, eagerly looking forward to your pics!

[familyof4 0]

Oh...my floor tiles are the same as the ones in the balcony if u can search my blog. Grey in color. how long will they take to deliver the tiles?

[aubrey 0]

no idea! it was since last week. hoping it will arrive soon. maybe this week? like today or tmr cos i hope they can tile my floor soon. so exciting! i will go search now.

[pinkpetter 0]

haha no no it's ok. I know MOndays are always a little hard. I'll check them out later at night... hang in there.. work's going be over.

[aubrey 0]

yup. cant wait to go home and see whats done! :wub:

[growler 0]

It's ok aubrey. I just have to bear with it. If they had worked over the weekend, the floor tiling could have started today .... *haiz*. .....
