pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 Mimi.. 17ft is not very long... 17ft is only about 5m. Mine is already 21ft whilst I do bottom only. I think yours is really 17ft top and 17ft bottom. I find the quote slightly on the high side and some things very confusing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaskel 2 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks all for e concern .I manage to talk to ah soon. He say will call me when he a free. I think ah huatt or alan really quote too high. A mirror cost 150? For workmanship.we told him we have a budget yet he still quote me like those I'd.my kitchen cabinet is only 17 feet, cannot be 34feet cos it hdb. Mimi, u need to clarify with Uncle Ah Soon on the kitchen cabinet...it is top 17ft & bottom 17ft or just bottom 17ft or top 8.5ft & bottom 8.5ft only.

mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 ya mimi, agreed w Pet that 17 ft is not too long. Mine is the newer HDB n its already 14ft in length. So total top+bottom is 28ft. If yours is top+bottom, it should be considered as 34ft, which comes up to $100pft.. i think this rate is reasonably cheap. But agree with her too, that ur quotation is a little confusing. Items seems to be 'jumping' here n there. I think its safer to check it out with Uncle personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But thanks to the above for sharing on Ah Soon and Mr Yeak Btw, we have met up with Mr Yeak.

I did not get him to do my house because his quote was higher than Uncle's quote. However, his overall carpentry pricing, etc is very reasonable. Nearly signed up with him (as mentioned in my blog) if not for Uncle's appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimi 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 Dear all I am back to update on my progress Renovating is so tiring Especially for me who is very kan chong Wanna do it fast Anyway i met up with about 4 contractors, Ah Huatt, Mr Yeak, another contractor/id recommended by alan26 and Yellow boots contractor recommended by jaskel Ah Huatt quotes too high, Ah Soon never come to view my house. Mr Yeak schedule is tight and we have a lean budget After much consideration on hacking and retiling and how much inconveniences, we decided to take up the sediment spraying on the wall tiles and other reno items I will try to keep my budget within 10K (including buying sanitary and electrical stuff) I will post up some pictures for forumers to view and see if there is any impact Here are the list of items that we have decided to do: Kitchen: Sediment Spray on Wall Alter Kitchen Cabinet to install Cooker and Hood ( the top one) Add 1 more decor light (hanging) at the table area Plaster wall and ceiling Living Room Platform Add 1 more decor light (hanging) at the dining table Wall paper for the wall at the tv console area Master Bedroom L shape Box Cove lights with 8 points Plaster the wall and ceiling Wall Paper to 1 wall Master Bedroom Toilet Sediment Spray to Wall Change Sanitary Add Shower Screen Manage to do some saving by going direct to KDK for installation as my contractor quoted me $660 for changing window and install fan, and going to this golden city (as i read in this forum) wall paper This week was **** tired, spent a lot of cabs, going from Jurong to Balestier (to buy wc, basin) tot can buy cheaper after reading renotalk forumers sharing their experience...in the end also spend a bit on accessories Lights wise, we were tired ...just went to Jurong East to buy, didnt bargain ....a bit regreted now Total Cost => Contractor- 7.5K (May subject to changes) KDK Fan_> $400 Wall Paper-> 800 Lightings (2 Hanging Lights, 2 wall Lights, 2 bedroom Lights -> 630) WC, Basin, Accessories, Cooker Hoob -> 1400 Washer cum Dryer LG-> 900 New Study tables and cabinet from V Hive -> $770 TOTAL COST DAMAGES at the moment => abt 12K Hope the minor reno will make an impact to my existing home Btw, my house is balinese, zen style as i like resort feeling ,,,relaxed Any forumers with same theme to share ?
