rierie 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 update - floor tiles is half done for the living and dining area (cuz not enough "sand"). tiling is done for the study room too. here comes the alighment issue that htb brought up. actually it's not that the tiles are not laid straight. rather, at the entrance of the door, where the kerb is, the tiles don't seem straight. reason being the door itself is not straight. mm..how to say it leh? like, the kerb line and the tile should be parallel. but now, it's not cuz the way hdb built the door is a bit slanted. took some pics aly. will upload them as soon as i can just now when i just opened the gate, i was surprised to see some kind of brown thick paper laid on the tiles. tiler say it's to protect the tiles. very happy to see them protecting my tiles. hahaha...800*800 ar...very expensive wor...if get scratched, will be very heart pain. not only did they lay the paper on the floor, they covered up the aircons too..mm..impressed. cuz i never tell them to do that. actually, i planned to tell them to do that after seeing what happened to some of us here. but i'm very glad that they zi dong enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rierie 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 yeah! finally bought our chandelier - from Extreme Lighting. as said by many, the prices there are definitely much lower. as htb didn't go with me and i couldn't decide which colour of "cap" that i like, Alex has nicely offered to lend me three colours of "cap" to try out on the day of delivery. so nice of him!
