Feel disappointed, but expected. Hehe... Knew his style through you guys Pinkpetter, Ya... My sis keeps Hao Lian to me that she can sleep till zi ran xing! *&^%$#@ wahaha... but I'm still a good girl. I wake up about 7plus to 8. but at the rate the flu thing is going I'm wondering if school can reopen on time. Sigh. Uncle is like that. He put the appt to tmr? You must be prepared. Because you aren't getting your home yet, he's more likely to delay you more. he usually acts faster for people who are getting their keys. The funny thing about him is that although he forgets things... he seems to rem who is getting their keys when... he will initiate calls to owners who are getting keys soon... mmm Funny man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamieogh 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 Morning Pinkpetter, We got our keys last mth. And uncle visited our nest to quote too le. Last Fri received his call (I never expect he'll call me, i intend to chase his quotation in July). He said our quotation is ready. So we decided to meet him at our nest last Sat. But he last min flew us plane. So change to Monday (yesterday), he flew plane again. & hubby kiwi is going to meet him today after work, hope he will turn up. Hubby kiwi asked uncle how much he quoted over the phone, uncle refuses to reveal the figure. Haha... Oh ya... The flu thing.. My sis is going to TW with me & hubby Kiwi, her sch requests her to leave her hotel and contact to sch wor. Hope we won't be asked for self-quarrantine when we back...

Hope you got your quote today... mmm why wouldn't he reveal figure I wonder. Normally he will give a ballpark over the phone. mm mm TW should be ok I guess. My sis and BIL travel to and fro TW very often without problems.... Just be very careful on the plane. I think being in a confined place breathing in recycled air for many hours is one of the key problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamieogh 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Dear all, Ya... Maybe bcos our nest's condition is really too bad, that's y need to do more things esp toilets & kitchen. Uncle did advise what are needed or not necessary to do. Here minus there deduct = $30200. Sob sob... He charges us the shelving thing in storerm too. Hubby Kiwi said he will Sha Jiao to uncle, persuading him to give more d/c when he comes back with 2nd quotation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think those are the ones that will add up to large amount Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 yes yes ladies work better. mm If you have plastering, wardrobes, TV feature wall, windows and window grilles, total rewiring.. all that will add up to a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamieogh 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Dear all, Thanks for replying. Uncle did not quote TV feature wall in cos he doesnt know what kinda material we are looking for. Kiwi is better in Sha Jiao than me. And I'm very poor in bargaining and a lousy decision maker. Better let Kiwi do the job. We are waiting for uncle's 2nd quotation. He said will email us yesterday, but I just checked, no email from him. Know his pattern from you guys, am not that disappointed now. The quotation is with Kiwi. I can rem some main items: 1. Overlay the floor in living rooms, 3 bedrooms & storeroom. 2. Relocate door of MBR. 3. Cement screed kitchen wall w/o hacking. 4. Hack and redo both toilets (includes its window, pipes, shower screen, basin, floor and wall tiles) 5. Plastering whole unit (the house's condition really CMI) 6. Painting whole unit (Kiwi suggests we do the painting ourselves, oh no...) 7. Change window grille & windows in living room and 1 of the common rooms. 8. Change window in MBR and the other common room. 9. Change main door grille, paint the door. 10. L-shape (island) kitchen cabinet with solid surface top. 11. bifold door for toilet and frosted glass door for MBR toilet. 12. Covelight in living room I cant think of any other now...
