blue_diamond 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 For me, I'll suggest that you list down the items that you wana keep in the kitchen and how you would like to keep them. That will tell you the amount of cabinets that you'll need. Then decide if you need only bottom cabinets or top and bottom, and whether you'll need cabinets throughout ur kitchen, or just a portion of it. Thanks everyone for your advice....i will go and consider...i will be meeting Uncle soon later to discuss on somethings....anyone need me to pass info?I am meeting hin either before or after he go to Guy77 plc..

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 I have bottom only!! and one full height one at the corner... I suggest you take stock of the cupboards you need. REMEMBER if you take bottom cabinets... you will lose one for the sink cabinet (which you can probably only put detergents) AND you will lose one for the gas if you use cylinder. You will need a drawer unit, one (or 2) for crockery... one (or 2) for dried stuff... another for sauces and rice... Must plan then see if you have enough. No point having made a beautiful kitchen that is not functional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guy77 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 hahaha. ya ya. but we already make it a habit to go everyday to look see look see. after dinner, treat it like a walk like tat. the best thing is that it is nearby to the current place i am staying. so it's convenient. if not, also cannot everyday go.

blue_diamond 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Finally, having sometime to write something on my own blog.. Suppose to meet Uncle tomorrow, but decide to check if he is going to Guy77 plc....so it will be easier to catch him rather than to let him fly Boeing 747 again. To my surprise, he readily agree to meet and set the time at 7pm. Ard 5pm, PD call n asy that Uncle call her to change to 7:30pm... Just when we arrive 7:30pm, PD gave Uncle a call and realise he is still at WEst Coast!!! (actually, i am already glad that he still remebered our meeting and say he will speed up). We went around and finally Uncle arrive at 8pm. I went through some feedback of what i have seen from this forum (eg like Fondue and Smallboy). In fact Uncle told me that he also aware the consistency of worker is not there...so he may decide to fire some who really cant make it. he is well aware all these will eventually hurt his business and reputation. He know that this forum has given him lots of business, thay why he told me he welcome direct feedback...rather than we keep it to ourself and not let him know.I also relate some message for Familyof4 and apple for some issue. We went through the list...i prepare english(chinese subtitle) quotation for him...so it easier for him as well as to speed up the process rather than wait for him(after all feedback on the forum). All i can sum up is that he is v accomdating and sincere. giving and heping us with alot of suggestion to save as well.It a feeling which i dun get from others. Knowing that he service may have some lag...i still decide to be defiant(pray hard) or maybe stubborn to put my trust in him.If all fail..i blame no one...just that i make the wrong choice. In fact thread/advice from smallboy, gakun some others has somehow manage my expectation as well. I know PD n I will have to be very involve for our home. On postive note...at least i get to know my place better(rather not knowing) which is also a learning journey for me. With that, i am offically a uncle soon club member liao. Pay him $50 deposit( cos din expect need to pay on the spot, **** malu sia), he keep saying nvm. I am offically going to start mine on 08/06/09 and handover will be 08/08/09. I know from now on...it will be a chaotic time for PD and me....especially when it our 1st home. I must say for a person who hate technical things( that me!!), somehow this reno has make me to be much more proactive. I have make more friends, leant alot from friendly people here. I know Uncle may not be the best..but i am sure he is the best, given what i can do. N i am really move on the way he deal with things and also on some other stuff he share. I put my trust in him also managing my own expectation. hopefully all things will tunr well in the end. Especially he specifcally told me he will oversee my place. Guess it going to be a busy time for me. i appreciate any help render from anyone in advance or past help given. Hopefully i wont be too troublsome to explain to.
