LOL.. Then your hubby must have a lot of clothes as well.. I will definitely win in my case... We are pushing the throne to each other. Time to throw away old clothes during shifting too! Shoes is another one... i confirm win hands down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are pushing the throne to each other. Time to throw away old clothes during shifting too! Shoes is another one... i confirm win hands down. Hee.. I'm also another unglam.. I can lie till I look like I'm sleeping on the bed.. So I'm definitely buying a L-shape sofa for this reason.. Think i already gave away a lot of clothes to salvation army during CNY... Must do another round before I move into the new house manz.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booy 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Today is a bad day.. Met a contractor and the price is also not that cheap as well.. Called Ah Soon and he was too busy to entertain me as usual.. Didn't call me back till now.. Went to look for hob and hood and ended up realising that our hob and hood size is very "special", hard to fit the existing ones in the maket.. Most probably, must buy back the same hood.. And the hob is also very special, only 1 glassy one that we can choose from... The rest are those metallic ones that I dun really like.. In the end, because they are so special, there is no packaged price that we can take up.. Must pay for them individually... *headache*.. Really feel like knocking down the kitchen cabinets now...

Hmmm... changing table top needs money.. Reno budget is only on a cut cut cut basis now.. Cannot increase with new items any more... Now I dun feel like changing the hob and hood as it's gonna look the same anyway.. Since I'm not going to cook so often I suppose.. So sianz... I'm feeling reno blues even before it's started....

I reckon he doesn't save our numbers in his phone until we are "Confirmed" so now he is trying to recall the customers whom he owes quotations to. haiz. Anyway for the hob and hood... You can get a hob which is bigger cos the hole can be cut bigger. So this should open your options for the hob. As for the hood.... if you can't change it then you might as well just get someone to polish it nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivy 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2009 Hi Booy, my reno is scheduled to start next week and he has also yet to get back to me on my final quote, poor uncle y'day explained sheepishly that he lost quite a number of his quotes in the cab yesterday, including some contact numbers that he has taken down. maybe you want to PM me your contact and name so that I he really appear to meet me today (which he say he will) I can pass him your number to return your call.

booy 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2009 Morning all.. I know that Ah Soon is busy.. I SMS him yesterday in mandarin.. Hopefully he knows how to access to SMS... I will just try to call him again... As for the hob and hood issue, heard from Smartie that our hood model is a different one, slightly bigger, so seems like there are more choices to choose from... Looks like the Salesman gave wrong info yesterday.. Anyway, will go to our house to measure the cut out size again and see how... As for the hob, at least there are more choices, so it's still not too bad... Hopefully today will be a better day ahead.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can get a hob which is bigger cos the hole can be cut bigger. So this should open your options for the hob. As for the hood.... if you can't change it then you might as well just get someone to polish it nicely. Actually, the situation is not that bad. Because we cannot find the model no of our existing Fujioh hood, we took a photo and showed the salesperson. The salesperson guessed that the model is FIT-150 and mentioned that if we want to change, we have to buy back the same hood to be safe as the 890mm width cannot fit most other slim hoods today which are 900mm wide. Problem is FIT-150 is an old model and harder to find, so it's more expensive and there's no package price if we get that, though the good thing is it's made in Japan vs the current model (FX900) which is made in China. When I went back home last night, I searched the internet for more info on FIT-150. Turns out that the photo on the net does not match our existing hood at all. So I'm 100% sure our model is not FIT-150. Digging further, I finally found a photo that resembles our hood the most. The model no is FIT-9 and the width is 900mm, which means we actually have a much wider range of hoods to choose from. You all can take a look at the photos and be my judge Our existing hood Photos of FIT-150 and FIT-9 on another website Moral of the story: Don't trust the salesperson 100%. Take their advice with a pinch of salt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
