coffee_o 1 Report post Posted October 13, 2009 Heeheehee. I know I know... Yishun. Blk 2XX ya? heee.. I can remember leh...heee...hmm..am not that old still...memory chip still working! lols. Wow...you are fast..so fast starting next week. Must communicate more with Jason, as afterall he is a contractor not a ID. So there will be some hipcups here and there which is afterall part n parcel of reno...but afterall, it will be solved...so do make sure you go down as often as possible if you can....take some photos...regardless of whether u will be posting on the forum a not, as it will be good for your reference and record for the progress. Cause most of the time, we took quite a lot of photos...and we basically stare at the photos to see anything look weird or need to modify a not.. Siong 1 time, but it is worthwhile. My wife was the one who insist to take photos...and I was the one who tell her waste of time...see can already...but after our reno which will be coming to a end soon, she is right. photos means a thousand words and prove to assist us a lot during our reno journey. Eh bro did you plaster your whole house ah ? Anyway spoke to Jason i will be doing 4 cm granite top but must top up a couple of hundreds so not that bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because.... renovation is never a black and white quotation especially with contractors. ID will definitely tell you...this one add...how much...that one add how much... is very clear cut...no mis-communication on $$$ esp with ID; well..which is good to certain extent. Sometimes, to be frank, black and white can be a double edge swords.. Either it works to your advantages, or either it works to your disadvantages to your Vit M. My war history with 2 contractors and 1 ID lead me to the above conclusion. lols. Actually, I look forward to both u and dsman reno..esp the staircase, I am expecting both reno to be better than mine after using mine as a case study hor. So hor....
