At Long Last, A Place To Call Our Own

hmm...rierie, for my case, it didn't help...even to the day i sell my house away after 5yrs, the crack is still there, mended many times. I think due to the movement and vibrations, such cracks might appear again after a while?

6 months ah... makes sense lar. Let the hole become maximum, then fill it with plaster. once hardened the plaster will just be compressed if the spacing contracts, but when it expands it will fill out the hole... okay. will discuss with contractor. worst come to worse i have to plaster/paint myself 1/2 a year later lor >_<"

hahahha...what i did was to get Eric get me a 1 year warranty. As long as i see any cracks or any other defects during this 1 year, he has to come and do it for me.

sianz. like that maybe instead of doing up a partition to level up a section of that wall, maybe i should tell joseph to do for me a partition for the the *entire* length of the wall. So no more problem of interface between partition board and wall except at the corner (which seems to be doing quite well.) Think joseph will faint though if he hears my idea =p

Don't worry lah, plastering quite fast one lah. unless you doing for every single wall? Once that's done should be time for lightings le.

Storm... paiseh... me busy whole day now then I see.

Hmm when a partition or a hollow block is built to join any original one... will surely crack after a bit of time. My dad (who used to do this sort of thing) says its expected.. he say.. should wait until it cracks (so that the inside has settled) then scrap off the protuding bits and plaster the crack away. Which is why I didn't ask Uncle to rectify my bro's room yet. Uncle will rectify it later.

That's according to my dad la. lalallala

quick update on the air-con issue:

Apparently the stuff that the air-con techie used to fill up the hole he drilled was painters' caulk. Something sorta like silicone... I think it was because my wife was the one jaga-ing him that time and he thought he could be lazy. Ha, that came back and bit him on his a**. Anyway, i made him dig out all the caulk and resealed the holes with white cement. Also realised that he left gaps between my trunking and my walls when he did the installation the last time, so i also made him fill up those little gaps with the silicone/painters' caulk. I think for now, my air-con issue should be settled le. For those thinking of using Hong Tar, i think they're ok lah. Price-wise is competitive, materials used seems to be good. But installation need to pay closer attention in case the techie eat snake lor.
