trevorcantona 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 wah trevor u hero leh. dispite me trying to scare you away from using uncle u still "dare dare" sign up huh?? hahaha. my "long HO, miss calls, aeroplanes, NJDs, plaster work not so good, painting lines crooked, carpentry depending on group of workers" etc poison arrows still didn't kill your keen-ness in getting ah soon ah? very good lah u! I warn u liao hor! dun later say I didn't tell u hor!! and dun later complain complain when u can't get hold of him hor. now that u are in it, put on ur safety belt, hold tight and be prepared for a bumpy ride. hahahahha so for your carpentry u using ah wei huh? and ehhhh still doing those ark?? mai do lah! :x Hey Ivy, Actually hor, Uncle is a bit scary cos he flew my aeroplanes many times, some more suppose to start work today, havent yet! I think he will only start next week!!! I took uncle cos I was too lazy to contact Jason, and I wasn't sure how good Jase is! One of the IDs actually ran Uncle close, but my budget dun allow me to take that ID! Uncle's quote is reasonable! Not cheap! And yes I am getting Ah Wei to do the carpentry work, but then hor I am omitting the archs cos Ah Wei overcharge me for them!!!! He quoted higher than 4 other IDs, i was like WTF!??!?! So in the end, I decided to forgo the arch and do wall paper instead hahahaha!!!! Hmmmm, seriously if anyone wanna use uncle, can also ask Yeak or Jase to give quotes, heard that they are quite competitive too wor!!!! Hi Trevor, Welcome to another Cantona fan! Nice to see you managed to find a nice 70's TPY unit. Somehow those layouts are really unique and rare. The floor plan also 70's cos' its still using imperial measurement of inches and feet! Which lorong is your flat located at? The picture of the toilet really brought back memories of my weekends at my parents' place at Lorong 6 TPY! My place is at TPY Central, next to library haha!!!! And yes the toilet can really bring back many memories from the 70s/80s!!!! Somehow, cos everyone's using the feet and inches, I also found myself using that to measure rather than the metric system!!!! Hi Hi welcome welcome Wah it's been a long time since I've seen this kind of layout. Bathing and WC is different. Now hard to find leh.... anyway why don't you hack the wall between the toilet and bathing to make a big big toilet ? Hi coffee! I think most 70s/60s HDB has this layout?!?! No?!?! My last flat in TPY Central too has this layout! And yes, I have actually hacked the wall between the toilet and bathroom, but it did not make it bigger as expected cos there is still a small wall between them!!! BUt i have already hacked it, so bo pian liao!!! Congras, can't wait to see yr expensive style reno with Ah Soon!!! Hi Black! Actually most of it is self design one, so hmmmm... anyway, i think my reno is really a first for uncle, cos i got 2 different quotes, 1 from uncle and another from Ah Wei! According to Uncle, my carpentry is so complicated that he just asked me to get a quote from Ah Wei, and as you can imagine, Ah Wei was not happy about it at all!!!

BunBun 5 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 I've never seen so many holes on the walls after hacking but seriously, since its HDB appointed contractor... you can arrow back to HDB for sloppy work and ask them to take responsibility for the walls if anything happens. One forumer had problems with the ceiling and complain to HDB about the ceiling having moist patches and the paint coming off also if i remember correct. In the end HDB had to hack the ceiling and redo it after it was proved that it had nothing to do the paint whatever excuses coming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My house is not hacked by uncle's workers! It is hacked by the HDB contractors who are currently upgrading the blocks in toa payoh central! And yes, your damage seems greater! Uncle says his workers are better trained and so i was shocked when i saw your place!!! Instead he said my HDB contractor's workers were poorly trained, but seeing the results of your house, hmmm... I am not so sure liao... BUt Ivy said he jus changed home team?!?! maybe workers also changed!?!??! that's why like tat!!! I think we have to monitor his workers closer!!! And Uncle called me just now in the afternoon on his own accord! Power... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
