Probably will even make me feel better when I'm bening upset by my reno progress. Hi FFF, I hope you know all of uncle's pattern by now. There is no point getting upset (trust me i went down the same road too and I was having bad mood during work!!!). What you need to do is to have some patience and tactical pushing to do. Your aim is to get uncle to finish your place asap. Also, i recommend that some stuffs you take out from your quote (since you havent pay uncle) and get someone else to do it (like go direct to sub contractor) so that uncle will have less things to delay for your house. example, can take out carpentry, electrical works, painting, etc... I already took out some stuffs at the start and i find myself having a slightly easier time than the rest, but still... sigh... Anyway, I have decided not to let uncle do some stuffs that he did not quote me for, so that i can finish 1-2 weeks faster Trev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trevorcantona 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2009 Dear readers, it has been sometime since i updated my reno progress. As things stand, thanks to IVY, (thanks once more) that Ah Wei finally agreed to do my carpentry work! Uncle has yet to pay me a single cent, but i understand his situation, so i will not kah jiao him til another 1 week later (or when my L-box or some other major stuffs are done hahahaha)... As things stand, i need to get back 12k, but i think in actual fact probably 4k will do as my work with uncle should not exceed 25k. When my place is more photo friendly, will take pictures of my L-box/false ceiling/partition wall for all to see! Hopefully, next week!!! Trev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trevorcantona 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 Dear Readers, There has been not much progress on my renovation and I am really pretty pissed off. It is D-Day tml and after that, seriously, uncle will have to face my wrath. Trust me, it is NOT pretty. As I await the inevitable, which I will explain to all, in due time. I hope to post pics next week (on a lighter note) Trev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, several walls were hacked and rebuilt, and my flat was last plastered like 30 years ago, so i could not save on that and plastered the whole house! PLastering for the whole house can be done in less than 2 days. It all depends on HOW MANY people are assigned to your place! My plasterer assigned 5, so it took 2 days! I dun think he did water proofing for my kitchen!!! But doesnt matter cos i intend to keep my kitchen dry at all times! As for whether he did for you, you need to ask the tiler! now that the tiles are up, cant see liao!!!! If your walls are plastered, they will be VERY smooth and straight. If not, there will be some little old bumps. Why dun you take a pic and post online??! Trev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
