Works have not started:

Done-Varnish/touch-up works

Main door

3 bedroom door & door frame

Shoes cabinate

Cabinate under window (Family & Study Room area)

Some Skirting Replacement

Acid Cleaning

If I calculate should be today... Hmmm I got second thought as some of varnish/touch up works not completed yet.

Done-Parquet Floor Sanding & Varnishing

Uncle mention that would be tomorrow start sanding, than follow by varnishing and leave to dry for 1 day if better 2 days.

Done-1 face plate for cable under the TV feature wall

Done-MBR Wardrobe Handle

Rectifying List:

MBR Bathroom - Change pipe to SS and change under the sink piping to SS

Done Fan Regulator - Did not install. We told uncle yesterday and uncle want to escape again... we told him NO NO we buy the fan w the regulator one and its delivered together so MUST install. The very first time we saw his electrician he also mention that he will install the fan regulator under the switch so its Uncle's Business now. I told hubby if uncle want to be funny and escape again and call hubby tell uncle and call me.... I will scold uncle :P

Common Bathroom - Extend a/c pipe to waste hole (this is left down by ex owner)

Done Serivce Balcony - (PS: We purchase soft closing hinge fm Shanghai Tong Lee) Cabinate soft closing hinge have not been install. Cause carpenter say not enough. We did our sums correctly than I went to our MBR and check on the wardrobe hinge (our MBR wardrobe is being mading and install by uncle)... and I am correct they use some of our soft closing hinge to install in the wardrobe. So we told uncle we buy enough for the house and now got some missing but I went to the wardrobe and check partial soft closing hinge is ours. He call the carpenter and yes they use our hinge... so they will replace back for us.

But one part I am glad is that till now we only paid 10% of our package price so I can still demand lots of things else I hold his money :D

Hi All

Hubby say is ok and can adapt to it. I need to know if the fan regulator is made that way or electrician error/dun know how to install. Please advise :)

As me and one of my GF use the same Uncle for our house reno she also have the same problem as me and she did not even complaint to Uncle. She told ne her hubby also say can adapt with it :o

I read somewhere in the RT someone also got this problem and they ask the ID/contractor the got reply like "the regulator is europe made and so its the other way round" :bangwall: Super le... hahah

I did not ask Uncle yet so I want to check around first if the regulator is come in this way. I even told hubby hard to say maybe one regulator is right the other 2 is wrong.. LOL cause I only switch on 1 regulator yesterday evening nia.. the whole house was filled with smell as they have varnish the parquet.

Lets see what other say on this. I wait :P

So everytime we need to pull 3 times to get to the small speed. =)
