16ft top and bottom. so 32ft in all. uncle's measurements quoted hope its accurate. he told me 7ft for bedroom 1 wardrobe when we wanted full length from wall furthest away from door to wall at door. others have said its about 9ft ~ 10ft. not sure about this.

its ok, uncle dun really bothers abt the exact fit. His carpenters will go up to take measurement n do full length. Even if it exceeds 7ft, i doubt uncle will charge anything extra.

aubrey is on half day self imposed break pertaining to reno matters! (ok, so not true, i am actually going over quote )

when it comes to buying ceiling fan, take note of ceiling height. when adding light to fan, try to buy it so it fits the circular portion exactly and not have it protrude out if not u get "cutting lights" due to the fan rotating and the shadows of the blades and u may feel giddy.

for my fan, there's 4 speeds. to be honest, i placed it under my sofa. once i walk away, i dont feel the wind much. even at the highest speed. but the strength is decent when u are sitting under, does help to make the house more airy.

ahh ok 32ft in all then the price seems ok. don't worry about the wardrobe (as mrspiglet says) It's better for you cos he quotes you lower but you've told him specifically where you want the wardrobe to be and he will make to that point for you. *hugs*

*super tired*

i very blur now. did he give u a quote? he gave me a quote in english. and its the higher price. i dont have the chinese quote to see the breakdown carefully. should have asked him for it. our quote is fluctuating ard now. quite close to what ids are quoting me actually. can u share yours with me? i wonder what's his carpentry cost for all who are working with ah soon for the kitchen cabinets..

was your meeting a fruitful one?

Hmm .. do you mean your english quote is more expensive than the chinese hand-written one?

This is a bit strange. Did he go line by line to explain what the items are?

My U-shape kitchen costs 3k but I am not sure exactly how many ft becos it is not in the quotation

[aubrey 0]

ya the english quote less comprehensive yet more ex. dont know why. he asked me to read but we ended up talking abt our accommodation arrangement and stuff.

wow U-shaped kitchen? how does it look like??

and pet, so means its effectively 32ft, pfr @ $100 right?

update from ytd!

spoke to the owner of the flat next to us. she is quite adamant on charging us $1,200 for renting the 3room with 1 room not in our use. so 1.2k for 1 bedroom, living, kitchen and 2 toilets. to me its quite pricey! for that amount i can probably get a nice tv. so back to the drawing board. 1 good thing is my nieighbour has so kindly agreed to let us stay with her for 2 weeks while ah soon works on my place.

ah soon's plan is to hack living room, kitchen + bath & wc first and stuff 23 years worth of items into my 2 rooms. then once done, move it out and do the rooms.

if only money wasn't the concern.
