beany0811 1 Report post Posted August 24, 2009 there will be another round of polishing tomolo. haiz... this flooring really caused big headache for us and yeak as well. i think yeak don't dare to take on any more marble flooring work after this. is it becos of the scratches due to carpentry works and stuff? its the same with us... one round of polishing was already done, but after the carpentry and painting, the floor is like again. also some deep chinks fm previous hacking when floor wasn't protected yet i'm wondering how the polishing will be carried out with the carpentry, cos heard that alot of water will be used in the process. we have requested another round of polishing, wondering if it will solve the scratches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrian_john 1 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Tulips, Your place is very nicely done up. The effect from the tiles and mirror at the toilet looks great. The red doors are very unique and outstanding too. Red sure bring good luck! Nice touch with the full glass sliding wardrobe too. Agree with KTHC on the cemented bowls. If your washing machine very powerful, it may cause the bowl to crack although the concrete will probably survive. Think those building material shops can find some nice looking bricks to put for your base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tulips 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) But the red is those dull red and not the type of bright red which i m having... Most exterior paint are waterproof one right??? Thinking of getting those spraying paint, I guess that will be faster than painting the brick with paint brush. I need to move in by end sept but yeak cannot handover the place to me yet bcoz still got issue with the marble flooring... This flooring really is a big big headache leh... the marble polisher have done polishing on my flooring for 8 times and counting... They will be coming again this week and i really hope that this time round they can treat their work seriously and professionally... almost running out of patience for them...

Wah, sooner or later, they'll polish away the whole tile liao. Yeak told me that marble will crack naturally, since it's natural stone. Some of the scratches cannot be polish away one woh. Mine also got one big crack after polishing. But since it's not at an obvious spot, we just made do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tulips 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 My marble flooring after polishing and buffing, I still can see those scratches or mark that is left behind by their machine. I can straight away tell tat the marks r caused by the machine bcoz those scratches are in circular shape. Seem like this person who is doing the polishing is inexperienced... and worst of all he still can tell my mom that those marks are normal, even if she take her new car for polishing there will also be tis kind of problem.... wah kaoz... when my mom relate to me what he said, my blood boils...

tulips 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2009 Phew... After 9 rounds of polishing, finally it has come to an end of endurance and torturing moments... Many many reasons for the arrival of this moment: 1] No much time left for them to polish n polish n polish 2] No marble material left much to polish 3] No heart to continue n see the marble being tortured again n again 4] No point already at this stage Nonetheless, it still looks alright after 9 rounds...slightly better than before...at the very least, the circular scratches/marks are not seen as prominent as before...
