Rasp 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Hb also arranged for Gain city to dismantle the existing aircon unit on WD 1. They were fast and efficient. Within less than 2hrs, they took down all the trunking, aircon unit as well as the compressor outside. Mbr after taking down the aircon and they 'block' the hole with a wood board. Look filmsy, and they told me this is the usual practise and also for the ease of their colleagues when they do installation. And yes, the whole unit is pink in colour when we bought it. We painted it white ourselves. The pink resurfaced again after the removal and hb still can tell me, last time is pink meh.. The holes left behind after removal of the trunking. Had told Henry, and he said will settle the holes for us. One unexpected thing happened though. During the dismantling of the water pipes next to the balcony, the gain city staff called me over and showed me the broken marble skirting. He said the previous aircon installers had broke it while installing and tried to 'paste' back and hide under the trunking. Hence, can see the cement along the breakline. So he wanted to show me so that there is no misunderstanding. Aiyo... but seeing that still broke my heart.. my poor marble skirting... Hb told Henry about it already. He will settle that for us too.

sohck 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 WD 1: The workers came around 9.30am and start to load their stuff first before laying those papers. The 2 rolls of papers which they brought up.. Close up of the papers.. Last time, I thought they are just those flat cardboard that are used for carton boxes. Didn't know that they have wedges inbetweens. Very fun to step on them to play with the 'sinking' effect. Hee.. They covered the whole place (less the area which we placed our barang barang).. Your ID very good leh, sticked the paper until so nice. Mine just anyhow laid, ended up my marble floor got scratched. Sway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rasp 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Your ID very good leh, sticked the paper until so nice. Mine just anyhow laid, ended up my marble floor got scratched. Sway! My paper also become abit ko-ya after the unloading of debris as they use the barrow wheel on it. I do the 'patching' myself cause I found a big roll of the cardboard lying around. Hee.. somehow managed to use all up to patch the major 'holes'. How's the scratch? Can the polishing removes them? I also saw scratches near the new kitchen entrance as they have to use some force to push the barrow up from the kitchen area. So the paper cant withstand and torn off, exposing my marble to the scratch also. Edited August 4, 2009 by Rasp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbtgal 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 Yah, you are lucky.. escape the lengthy draggy procedures for the purchase of recess area. We also shifting the main entrance outside. I remember your recess have a window or something, are you keeping a space open with window? Then it will be much brighter than ours. We went to look at our neighbour one, quite small and dark. Ya, mine has a small area for grilles which make the foyer the brightest & windy corner of the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rasp 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2009 Ya, mine has a small area for grilles which make the foyer the brightest & windy corner of the house. *Envy* Mine going to be very dark after wall is erected to seal off the place cause not allow to do windows (HDB regulations). I ever thought of using those big glass block to construct a small area on that wall (saw 2 neighbours below doing that), hoping to bring in some light. But my contractor told us that those glass block are quite fragile and they tends to 'crack' within. So from outside, we can see the cracks and no way to change them unless we hack the whole wall.
