red_devil 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 thanks bro. he already mentioned its gonna be a fast game. less than an hr Hmm...then perhaps, is to look around the house's condition...and look for false parition to get a feel how many man he needs to hack all your tiles and walls. When will your reno officially start? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coffee_o 1 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Hmm...my first meeting with him I remember is I go through with him some items. 1. Which walls to hack if any? me no wall to hack wor 2. Ask him for suggestion, which part might need plastering...depending on your quotation has this item a not? If you are plastering the whole unit...then don't need to check. He did told me abt this but i dun think i need to plaster the whole house leh, did you plaster your whole house ? 3. Check with him if u need to re-wire; ask him to do you a favour and check. I check by seeing the wire and feeling whether the insulator is sticky or not. Perhaps, the ex-owner might have re-wire before so u can save on it. Me already included in my quote to rewire my whole house liao so no issue 4. Last but not least, sit down with him on the quotation again and go through it. But, most likely he will tell you.. nvm..this one later then we say.. nvm..this one later then we say... Aiya he wont go thru de lah i would forsee he telling us this statements also hahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
