joseeng 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) why would painter damage the tile? just make sure you protect the tile with protection before painting anyway i have a on-site supervisor and only one party will do reno at any one time so there is nobody else to push the blame to. so you are the "main con" la, interesting arrangement which i am also contemplating doing it too. i shall be monitoring how you manage your reno and learn from you...hehe Edited November 19, 2009 by joseeng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ossify 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 met 1 contractor today willing to do hacking of walls only will get the quote by next week. met another guy who is able to help me do up walls. he told me that i shouldn't build new walls (changed position from existing walls) using hollow block bricks as they are very heavy so may affect the ceiling of my neighbour below. he advised me to use this "compressed air bricks" which is much lighter. i explained that i will need to put some cabinets and my chimney hood and he said he will add in metal supports. anyone heard of this "compressed air bricks"?
