Mine didn't have any safety harnesses, wore slippers and they just climbed out onto my roof during installation! I was soooooo afraid for them. If slip, it's straight down 13flrs... *shudders* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kthc 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Nice progress. How long did he estimate for your renovation? Yeak dropped us at Hafary to take a look at tiles, selected some but also like some from LSH… Will go back to Hafary to check if they have what we like, else see if he can take from 2 different places. My wife is currently away, can’t do much till she comes back… she’s the CEO, I’m just the runner…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife is currently away, can’t do much till she comes back… she’s the CEO, I’m just the runner…. should be finish within 6 weeks....if no hiccups in between...i'll hit myself on the head if the air con is gonna be delayed ....progress so far good...guess these tilers work pretty long with yeak so communication between them seems easy.... i heard LSH has very nice tiles too.... hehe no choice lor...once your CEO decide what to use, den it will be easier for you...just have to maintain QC...when is your reno starting? have you thought of cabinet designs and all?

preciousjam 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Yah lor, if tilers pay more attention to details should be ok, but den very tiring to spot any misalignments or wrong laying sia.. LOL... I thought u askin me how long the air con is.. As in literally long.. Hahahah.. Anyways, u reminded me I do nid to get the dimensions cuz I'm doing up a false ceiling in my MBR and Uncle Soon is cutting up a hole to accomodate the aircon.. So next time must get almost same sized one.. LOL... Anyways, it's around 4 to 5 years, should change right? The brand is York.. Heard it's power consuming, the only good thing is the previous owner has a service contract with Gain City still.. Very sianz, cuz it'll at least blow us by another $2k or so for a non inverter system 3.. -___-" my present air con almost 10yrs liao still ok lei....but of coz not as powerful as before......still got service contract wasted to change lei....actually if you don't mind doing it later, y not use it for the time being..the only difference is layout of trunking...maybe can't hide... if air con standard size...should be ok la....hehe if get bigger one den cut hole bigger i know what you mean by QC of the tiles...i was so worried when i choose the tiles...was expecting need to re-lay some parts but luckily only one small part so not too bad....quite pleased with this one....
