ivy 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 BD, don't feel so relief yet hor, cos uncle got different workers. hahahah so ahhh it very much depends on who he assign to fix things for u. rierie, wahhhh u so detailed ahhh, actually I am a person who is not very detailed. thus I dun really specify height and measurement etc. I give carpenters/electricians/plumbers big headache. When ever they ask me, what ht you want to fix this? I'll reply - fix it at a height that is acceptable according to your professional view which is convenient for end uers like me. That is a more complicated way of telling them I totally got no idea what will be a nice height to fix certain things :x ask me this one how wide, I'll say "sui bian" ask me this can or not that can or not I'll reply :" so long as look nice and dun stand out like a sore thumb can already." no wonder uncle say my house very easy to do. hahahahha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
